Miami (OH) deserves a March Madness bid, not a cold shoulder

Nicole Auerbach argues that Miami (OH) should earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament despite an undefeated regular season and a weaker schedule, pointing to Wins Above Bubble (1.7, 37th) and Strength of Record (28th) to show the RedHawks performed better than typical bubble teams. She criticizes the reluctance of high-major programs to play mid-majors and urges the Selection Committee to reward mid-major excellence by including Miami on Selection Sunday, rather than excluding a 31–1 team that dominated its schedule.
