One player being out isn't what dropped UTA from a 2 to a 6. That's too wide of a gap over one player. Computer ranking systems are only one of many criteria used, and they shouldn't necessarily be trusted on their own to be more correct than human judgment. Also keep in mind that UTA's only good (top 100) win all season was their win at St. Mary's.So without the injury UTA deserved a 2 seed or at least to be a higher 3 seed than BYU. Maybe BYU is overrated going into the NIT?

I always hate when someone does that.Also, not that history determines things, but BYU hasn't lost a game in the NIT in Provo since 1982.

I don't know Scott. Looks like they have a standard good defense as they don't give up tons of points. SMC was definitely at the low end and therefore was probably just an off night by all, but there seems to be a pattern of some good defense in their track record.I'm not scared of UT-Arlington having beaten SMC. Gonzaga doesn't frighten BYU and they own SMC like SMC owns us this year.
Just because UTA made for a bad matchup for SMC doesn't mean they'll make a bad matchup for us.
