SMU coach Tim Jankovich was sick to his stomach after watching Selection Sunday with his players. The Mustangs didn’t hear their name called as one of the 68 men’s NCAA tournament teams by Greg Gumbel – sending a gust of disenchantment through the room.
“I saw a group of guys completely devastated and heartbroken,” Jankovich told USA TODAY Sports. “My heart totally goes out to them. There’s no magic words you can say when someone is as hurt as they were.
“In my eyes, they’re 100% an NCAA tournament team. I hope they don’t let what a small committee of others believes change how they feel about themselves. I know that doesn’t bring them the opportunity (to play in March Madness), but there are many things in life that are incredibly unfair. This will happen. You have to be strong and positive to get through it.”
