Winningest Team in Country Reacts to Not Making NCAA Tourney

Sometimes winning doesn’t always get you where you want to go. The winningest school in the country, Belmont, didn’t receive an invitation to the NCAA or NIT tournaments on Sunday after posting a 26-4 record. They tied with Gonzaga for the highest win total in college basketball. Following them being left behind in both tourneys, they took to Twitter to voice their displeasure.

See below:

Head coach Casey Alexander admitted maybe they didn’t deserve to be in the dance after losing the OVC title game:

“I don’t feel like (we deserve a spot in the NCAA Tournament) at the moment,” Alexander said, per the Nashville Post. “We can put our case together, but honestly, I don’t think anyone cares what we think.

“I hope we have some basketball left to play somewhere. If we do, we’ll be ready to go.”

They also struck out in their NIT bid:

26 wins are great,  but who you play does matter.

There will always be teams who will be disappointed. . .
