Their last opening round win was 2003 against Villanova. All other wins have been in the loser's bracket.

Maybe you mean all other wins since that point have been in the loser's bracket, but I'm pretty sure they knocked off #1 ranked Virginia in the opening round as well like 20-30 years ago.

The win over Virginia wasn't actually a Maui Invitational game, Virginia had played Houston in Korea and on the way back stopped in Hawaii, and played the Silver Swords.

Didn't they give Duke or someone a real run for their money a couple years back? I'm thinking in the last 3 year

So does that loss affect Texas' RPI or is it treated the same way as when we play Wartburg in the regular season? Counts as a win/loss on the team record, but not when looking at NCAA Tournament wins/losses or RPI? I was wondering if it was treated the same way since it was in a tournament?

Non-D1 games in basketball are just like football.


They don't help you in anyway...nor do they hurt RPI in anyway.

However, a loss will hurt you - even if not "officially"

The game counts for the W/L record and stats but not in the eyes of the NCAA selection committee

But at long as they finish top 6 in the Big 12 they will be fine.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

Whether or not it actually 'counts', the committee will remember. I don't think Texas is a tournament team anyway, but this really hurts them if they are in the conversation in March.

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

If they are a bubble team, something like this has to be used in the eyes of the committee

Re: MVC Non-Con and other games of note

I don't think a D2 loss in early November in Hawaii will hurt them that much. They have the opportunity for so many good wins and the committee always seem to care more about Feb/Mar than the rest of the season.
