Hawaii shared the regular season WAC conference title with Fresno State but came in second in the conference tournament. I guess I am more surprised that they did not win their tournament and gain an automatic bid than I am that they did not make the field of 64.
TPM - I think the 9th best in the SEC is still better than some of the conference champs. Tough conference. From the post selection show it sounds like they were definitely a bubble team that was considered.
