    I'll do it for you too, since you don't want to counter with any facts whatsoever...

    Dayton has an RPI of 22: http://www.realtimerpi.com/rpi_110_Men.html

    SOS is 94

    Avg. opponents RPI is 77

    They are 3-2 vs the RPI top 50

    8-3 vs the RPI top 100

    Wins vs. Marquette (before James goes out w/injury for the year),Xavier, Temple, George Mason, and Auburn.

    They were ranked 24th for a week this season, they are currently 4th and 7th in ORV category which would put them at 29th and 32nd.

    As I said before, I didn't believe the Dayton win is as good as the X win, but to think they are not good wins is ludicrous to believe. I'm sorry if neither of these teams are from BCS conferences so it makes it hard for people to believe they are quality squads, but that isn't their issue.

    Summary:

    -Dayton and Xavier are average, perhaps slightly above average teams

    -They are Charlotte's two best wins this season

    -That is pathetic

    How many basketball teams are there in the entire country that could go to the NCAA tourney if they were good enough? Seriously.......how many total teams are out there? Any idea?

    Yeah but only 33% of the time which kept them in the A10 tourney. The other 66% of the time Dayton > Duquesne and should get us into the NCAA.

    Exactly. Xavier lost to Charlotte, Richmond and Duquesne. They are average.

    If Xavier played in the Big East or ACC, I doubt they'd have a shot at making the Tournament.

    There are 343 Division 1 men's basketball teams. 65 get in the tournament. There are 34 at-large bids. So X and Dayton fall within the top 10%, likely higher since some of the 31 auto-bids will goto teams from the MEAC and SWAC. So apparently between the top 2% and 10% must be average teams. That would mean all of 7 teams are legitimate teams.

    They wouldn't finish in the top five of several conferences. They are average.
