All of the metrics by which the Bonnies should have been judged fell well within the range of other teams who did receive NCAA Tournament bids. Syracuse, for example, managed to make the field at large with an RPI of 72 — the worst RPI of any at-large team in the history of the metric.

Three other A-10 teams did make the NCAA’s field of 68: St. Joseph’s, the auto-qualifier as an eight seed; Dayton, a seven-seed, and VCU as a 10 seed.
