Zips lose. Do they still get an at-large? What say you Keith Dambrot?

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/13/sports/ncaabasketball/a... “The common metrics most of us use are KenPom, Sagarin, L.R.M.C., B.P.I., K.P.I.,” the committee chairman, Oklahoma Athletic Director Joe Castiglione, told reporters Wednesday, sounding like an economist rattling off the names of various federal departments.
(A brief translation: KenPom is shorthand for KenPom.com, the site administered by the widely read college basketball analyst Ken Pomeroy; Sagarin is Jeff Sagarin, whose numbers are hosted on USA Today’s website; L.R.M.C. is the Logistic Regression/Markov Chain, which was originated by Joel Sokol, a Georgia Tech engineering professor; B.P.I. is ESPN’s Basketball Power Index; and K.P.I. is a ranking developed by Kevin Pauga, an assistant athletic director at Michigan State.)
In plainer language, Castiglione tried to reassure one reporter despondent over Michigan’s then-tenuous chances: “We’re using more and more metrics than we were in the past. It isn’t just the R.P.I.”
Need to send this to MAC coaches and admin staff so they understand for the MAC to ascend they need all the info.
