The highlight was the treatment of the Miami Redhawks — Miami, Ohio, not the other one — who were grudgingly accepted into the tournament as a playoff team despite finishing with the first undefeated regular season since the 2020-21 Gonzaga Bulldogs. For months, pundits and fans spent a lot of energy debating whether the Redhawks would even deserve an at-large bid if they dropped one game. They finally did, falling in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament, and apparently, going 31-1 still wasn’t enough to earn any respect from the committee.
