Hope that Gene can swing some votes our way...... either for a higher seed, or an at-large bid

Here is the selection criteria for NCAA Tourney
What counts
-- RPI, of which an unofficial variety can be found on LaxPower.com.
-- Top 10 opponents average RPI, or RPI Strength of Schedule (RPI SOS) that is found on LaxPower.com. It is based on a team's 10 highest-ranking opponents in RPI from the season.
-- Record vs. the top 5 RPI, top 10, top 15 and top 20, as well as record versus teams 21 and below. Good wins and bad losses.
-- Average opponents' RPI in wins and average opponents' RPI in losses, which speaks to the quality of wins and the quality of losses.
-- Overall win-loss record
-- Head-to-head results. Common opponents. Wins versus teams ranked higher, lower in RPI. Location of games.
-- An important note: A team must have a .500 or better record against Division I opponents to be considered for at-large selection. So Johns Hopkins, for exmaple, even if they were projected in, would be ineligible for the tournament with a 4-6 record.
What doesn't count
-- When a game is played. A February result will have the same impact as an April one.
-- Unavailable players at the time of a game. If a key player is suspended for a game or multiple games, his absence will not factor into weighing a particular result.
-- Margin of victory
