Dear NCAA Tournament Selection Committee…
No, I’m not writing to complain about K-State’s seed. I’m writing to ask you to help us make college basketball better.
We’ve heard the talk about K-State’s non-conference schedule. It ranks 321st by KenPom. The Wildcats never get home-and-home series with power-conference opponents.
Let me offer good news and bad news, Wildcat fans. The good news is that K-State isn’t all that different from most major-conference programs, and the schedule’s ranking can (probably*) be upgraded pretty easily. The bad news is that upgrading the schedule probably won’t entail more marquee home matchups.
