Buzz Williams' statement on the NCAA selection committee.... whew

🚨BREAKING: NCAA Tournament Committee Fires Back at Williams: “Wisconsin Had a Great Season.”

“What do you want them to do, Buzz? Put A&M ahead of Villanova? They beat Tennessee head to head! And by the way, you only finished tied for 5th in your conference.”

They can’t play at this level. Playing Sunbelt level vs Sec players is totally different
I don't know about that; if they were just bit players at a lower level, then I would agree, but they are all dominating in one way or another. I don't think that statement holds true as much for college basketball, as it does for football. A lot of small school players make it in the NBA.

Buzz definitely earned more respect from me, seems like a good coach that cares about his players.

The amount of trolls that popped up on that tweet shared by A&M with the "win more games" don't seem to get it. A&M did win more games, in fact they won more games than 25 other teams in the 68 selected.

If you want to be bias and select whatever team you like/want to see play most coaches will accept that. But when you try to present it as metric or analytically based then you're going to get backlash because those things aren't really grey areas. The numbers don't lie and anyone can reference them to make arguments.

They really should just lean into the fact its an "invitational." Then they dont have to justify anything.

Lol. I tried to click the link. Haha
 
Man!…after watching this I’ll always have respect for Buzz!…that’s a real coach right there!…

WATCH: Buzz Williams expresses disappointment with NCAA selection process
I already liked him, but yeah-huge respect for saying what needs to be said. NCAA is such a poorly run organization. I hope Aggies win the NIT - often seems like teams that get snubbed aren't able to get motivated for NIT. I hope they get a chance to rest their legs and his players watch this speech and get fired up.
 
Update on our little man. He got out of surgery just a little while ago. Everything went well and he’s now in recovery. We are so relieved and thankful of all of you. Still a long road ahead but the hardest part is now behind us. Thank you all again so much for your support and prayers
Awesome
