Williams' comments came after his team's 74-62 win over Alcorn State in the opening round of the NIT.
I wanted this understanding so I could have an explanation for our players, their parents and coaches, and be accountable in my relationship with each of them,” Williams explained.“After studying all this nonstop the last two days and looking at it from every vantage point,” he continued, “it defies logic that we are not in the NCAA tournament.”Williams, who presented copies of his findings to reporters, talked about his in-depth research into the process and the committee himself.“The process is obviously flawed, and it is apparent that there is way more included that is unseen and unknown in the selection of the 36 at-large teams than what the public is made aware of,’’ Williams said in concluding his statement.

The Texas A&M basketball team was snubbed from the NCAA Tournament. Watch Buzz Williams' iconic post-game rant after his first NIT game in 2022.
Williams said everything Aggie fans have been thinking over the past few weeks and he has the information to back it up. The Aggies didn’t just seem like a bubble team — they should have been a tournament lock. Williams didn’t just complain in his press conference, either — he explained how devastating it is for players, coaches, and families who put their heart and soul into this game for the final month of the season to have this opportunity taken from them.
Texas A&M coach doesn't understand how 12 SEC wins weren't enough for at-large bid.
“Despite how disenchanted I have become with all of this I will always stand up for our players and the families they represent,” he said. “In other words, what committee selected the committee? “Like many other things I have seen with the NCAA in my career, especially in my tenure here, allowing a personal bias to impact the process should not be allowed. “‘Sad’ is the wrong word because it doesn’t completely express the totality of our emotions. “That ending propelled us to a total of 12 SEC wins for the season. Texas A&M (24-12) reached the SEC Tournament championship game, part of a seven-game winning streak that included three wins over ranked teams currently in the NCAA tourney.

The Islanders put together a season to remember with a new coach and a revamped roster that ended with a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
“And luckily we won the conference tournament just to make it here. They came into a situation and took a chance on a brand-new head coach with 14 other players they probably didn't know, right? And they came together as a team, came together as a family and achieved things that some of them never have before. “From the beginning, I remember coach Lutz pulled us in a group and said we have enough to get it done,” Fryer said. “Our success has nothing to do with me,” Lutz said. And they absolutely deserve it.

The Ducks also won all three of their games against the Oregon State Beavers this year, and most recently 86-72 in the Pac-12 Tournament opening round.

Texas A&M coach Buzz Williams began his postgame news conference Tuesday night with a statement lasting nearly eight minutes in which he decried the Aggies' ...
"Until there is complete transparency and accountability, the system will stay broken and this will continue to happen.'' He said his research also focused on the selection committee itself: its members, how they are appointed -- "in other words, what committee selected the committee?" In the wake of the SEC tournament, Williams said he spent hours poring over data and trying to understand "how those 12 SEC competition-only wins weren't enough," while knowing that the four teams in the SEC that won more than the Aggies were awarded a 4-seed or higher.
Texas A&M is the biggest snub of this year's NCAA Tournament, and head coach Buzz Williams ripped the Selection Committee to pieces.
Until there is complete transparency and accountability the system will stay broken, and this will continue to happen.” The College Football Playoff is another question mark, and Texas A&M knows about that. Now, the Aggies get overlooked for the NCAA Tournament field. After the game, Aggies head coach Buzz Williams spoke for the first time since the snub, and he delivered one of the most powerful speeches in recent memory. Yet, the Selection Show came and went without Texas A&M being called. The college athletes give it their all in hopes of playing one more game, and sometimes stars are made in March as a ton of NBA scouts flock to watch the best players in college basketball.
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Tyrece Radford recorded 14 points and 14 rebounds to lift Texas A&M to a 74-62 win over Alcorn State in the NIT first round ...
Our main focus and what we try to keep in mind in our scouting reports is to keep them out of transition and keep them off the glass. They got the opportunity, and they deserve to go to the next round.” We play those games so we can be competitive in games like this and can be confident going up against teams like this. We were better in the second half, but we were for sure not hitting on all cylinders at any point. Our players and staff earned the right to play in the greatest tournament in the world, and it disgusts me in a way I can’t articulate that the system, and the adults in it, prohibited that from happening, because several in our program will never have that opportunity again. I thought Alcorn State was really good on the glass and we were just there. We know the type of push and drive we need to push through and finish games off.” As I began to do research, the first thing I wanted to learn was how members were selected to the committee and how the section of those members even worked. I wanted to research who was on the committee for this year’s tournament, their career paths, and how they were appointed to their position on the committee, so that once they were appointed, what data is it that they study. During that time, we won five of our last six to finish the regular season and won three of our last four games last week while advancing to the championship game of the conference tournament. Tyrece Radford set a career high with 14 rebounds and finished as the game-high rebounder. The Maroon & White matched their season high in free throws made, going 26-of-28 at the line.
