I really am not worrying about the NCAA tournament right now. Beating Reno is the only thought. We need to cap this regular season run the right way.
But, regarding the NCAA. It's a selection committee, not a math algorithm. They select teams based resume examination but it's an art, not a science, and they seem to change what they emphasize as being important every year. We just have to hope they put more weight on the ups than the downs this time. And as @jdgaucho keeps saying, you got to put this in a national perspective. What happens with some team in the east or the midwest we're not even thinking about is as important as what unlv does.
