Why the strong language? The last teams in the field will all have flaws. Nobody's denying that, but Iona had a very good season considering their conference. 9-3 against a 44 out of conference SOS is decent. they beat zero tournament teams, beat zero top 50 rpi teams. their best win was (i guess) home vs. st. joe's. they lost to hofstra, manhattan, siena and fairfield. if you could somehow list those things on a power conference team's resume, they wouldn't make the CBI. edit: i guess they beat LMU who made the tourney by winning that crappy conf tournament. Nevada at home was their best win, and they also beat Vermont who is in the tourney. I'm not sure who you would replace them with, but Washington also had 0 top 50 rpi wins. Personally, I would have picked Drexel over Iona, but there are cases to be made for and against any team that's one of the last few in, as they are just so close. It just depends on your sensibilities and what particular scope you give weight to. Miami beat Duke and FSU with only 2 losses to non-tourney teams. The Pac-12 sucks, but Washington was only one game worse in that conference than Iona was in the [expletive] MAAC. They also played Duke and Marquette down to the wire on a neutral court.
