No other major sporting event judges a team's eligibility based on the availability of key players.
MLB didn't block the Dodgers from the 2024 postseason, or downgrade them to a wild card team, just because Kershaw and Glasnow were injured.
Postseason tournament invitations and seeding should be based solely on regular season performance.
As it happens, SMU was ranked just above Auburn in NET and just 2 spots behind in WAB. Stevie Pearl is lucky. His team is still playing in the NIT. They'd be going home today if they'd made the NCAA tournament. And he's only coaching in the first place because his dad waited until September to announce his retirement.
