Drexel.
Yes they had some bad losses in their conference but if you look at their non-conference record you have to feel for them.
They were 8-2 in non-conference play, with a non-conference SOS ranking of 8 and RPI of 5. They beat Syracuse, Villanova and Creighton...all on the road. They had a 14-5 record in road / neutral games. Top 50 record of 3-4.
A couple of years ago the selection committee told mid-major schools that they needed to play tougher schedules if they wanted serious consideration for the tournament. Drexel did just that, and did it quite well, and the selection committee snubs them.
Syracuse was robbed as well. Kansas State has a better case of being in over Arkansas as well. Seems there were more snubs this year than in the past.

Kansas State- and I hate Bob Huggins- but here's why.
They had a better record, finished higher in the Big 12 standings, and beat Texas Tech on a neutral court on Friday. Now, I know the NCAA has a grudge against Huggins and they should because he was corrupt, and personally irresponsible at Cincinnati. However, except maybe for RPI, Kansas State is better than Texas Tech, and either they both should have been in or both should have been out.

I'd go with Drexel even more than Syracuse since they beat the Orangemen this year.
The team that didn't belong is Stanford.

kansas state, Arkansas lost to texas tech by 15, lost to texas by 4 and lost to missouri by 22, those are all teams that kansas state beat and yet arkansas makes it in instead of kansas state, thats not fair.
