*The NCAA Tournament At-Large Selection Committee (NCAA) and AC Women’s Basketball (ACWBB) walk into a bar from 2018 to 2020*
NCAA: “Ehh, I dunno ACWBB, you didn’t win 20 games in 2018.” *ACWBB wins 20 games in 2019*
NCAA: “Ehh, I dunno ACWBB, the ASC conference is stronger.” *ACWBB beats ASC champion UT-Dallas at home in 2019*
NCAA: “Ehh, I dunno ACWBB, that win seemed kinda fluky.” *ACWBB beats ASC champion UT-Dallas on the road in 2020*
NCAA: “Ehh, I dunno ACWBB, the ASC is still stronger.” *ACWBB beats ASC tournament champion UMHB in 2020*
NCAA: “Ehh, I dunno ACWBB, you didn’t beat regular season conference champion Trinity.” *ACWBB shakes head in silence*
NCAA [in Bill Lumbergh voice]: “Soooo, ummm, yeah….……we’re gonna go ahead and regionally rank those schools #1, #3, and #4. If you would just be #9 on the outside looking in, that’d be GREAT.”
*ACWBB beats Trinity in conference tournament finals to earn automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament*
NCAA: *looks around nervously, stretches collar, small bead of sweat dribbles down forehead, clears throat, nervous laughter*
