From the mostly old days of basketball (late 80s)

Back when only 64 teams made the dance (I believe the “first four games” that was introduced is the worst adjustment made to any post season tournament), I remember many of the analysts in that day agreed that a team with a sub 0.500 record in their conference should not make the NCAA tournament unless they won their conference tournament to get the auto-bid. I ‘m quite sure Dickie V argued for that side. Wonder if he’d say so today with the current biases that hold sway.

No way a team with a losing record will make the tournament unless they win the conference tournament.
