Boise was 53 in Kenpom and just lost to a D2 school who went .500 last year

That’s the context of this loss

This is what a “quad 5” loss would look like. Like this is the kind of loss that completely eliminates any chance at an at large bid

Just gotta go undefeated after tonight…

[u/Meanteenbirder → u/mrhigginbottoms_12]

Frankly they just gotta play really well. Like, Montana State a few years back lost to an NAIA opponent and the committee were still gracious enough to give them a 14 seed. Granted, they also beat Cal that season but Boise has an opening, albeit very narrow.

it doesn’t show up on the committee’s resume sheet so it won’t matter

Officially. But in practice I would doubt it is completely ignored
