How has BB hurt wsu?

It takes away two games a year away that WSU could go play some bcs schools.

Big 6 must sit back and giggle during this weekend.

This is the arguement that I can't understand. What evidence do you have that they would schedule BCS teams? If they lose BB, I would bet any amount of money that BCS teams would not be added to the schedule. BCS teams have no reason to play WSU (or any other mid major), especially the BCS teams that are middle of the pack or higher in their conference. Everyone acts like dropping BB would magically make the BCS schools come calling. BB has done wonders for the WSU schedule imo, WSU has just done a poor job of playing in those games.

It's not magic, it's called going on the road.

FIXED...I love magic by the way. Any more brilliant concepts up your sleeve?

So playing a 100-200 RPI middle of the road BCS team on the road is better than getting a home and away with a sub 100 RPI mid major, in your opinion? I disagree.

The sad truth of the whole thing is WSU is competing with the other mid majors (BB teams) and the middle of the pack BCS teams for at large bids. BB gives them a chance to go head to head against a team they may be competing against for the last spot in the NCAA. Without the BB, it's left up to the committee to crunch numbers and you could get shafted. At least with the BB, the better teams gets to prove it on the court. WSU just hasn't been the better team more often than not.

READ WHAT I WROTE YOU CLOWNS. I SPECIFICALLY SAID WSU DID IT TO THEMESELVES NOT BB.

HOWEVER BB DOES NOTHING EXCEPT PROVIDE A FEW TEAMS WITH SOMETHING TO LOSE THAT CHANCE.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I just got back from clown practice and I had to polish my big red nose, because I got lipstick on it. You must have two personalities, because out of one side of your mouth (probably lipstickless), you clearly state (I know this because its in ALL CAPS) WSU DID IT TO THEMSELVES NOT BB. Then, and here is the funny part (becasue we clowns love to laugh you know), you print the word HOWEVER, which ultimately means forget all I said prior to that.

You lose or gain a chance at winning a basketball game regardless if it is played on December 14 or February 18, regardless of if it is called BB or just an Opportunity Game. That's it for me. These clown shoes are killing my bunyons.

replace however with although

WSU did it to themselves although bb provides a platform for teams to trip up late, often too late in the season.

WSU wasn't competeing with VCU for last four in. Now VCU and WSU both are not competing for last four in.

Now two teams that stayed out of bracketbusters and played above 100 rpi teams this weekend are competing for last 4 in.

Keep coming with the insults shoxmvc. I did it once becasue instead of reading what I wrote all the way through it was obvious one or two read the first two lines and then starting typing.

It's all about winning, I understand that. WSU has failed miserably this year each time it has gotten close to getting over the hump.

If you guys want to defend a setup that takes teams out of conference with 2 games to play and matches them up with a game they may help but more than likely do nothing or hurt then great.

I believe WSU can get equal games at the front end of the season. Obviously I can't prove what WSU can replace with those two games because the oppurtunity isn't there.

I can point out Tulsa and UNLV. Obviously one is from a challenge that I would be shocked if it's renewed in the future. Still those are two home games that compare with the average BB game. Go get a challenge with the Horizon (if they will have us). Butler, Valpo, Cleveland St would all be equal to top BB, infact two are and one is better than BB.

Also take that one road game a year against a solid BCS school. Who cares if it's one and done. If the league as a whole would do this and schedule better before conference then there would be more top 100 RPI games in conference.

Well, you did say "some BCS schools", which "middle of the road" does fall under "some" I think.

Pretty sure those are the only BCS schools that would consider playing WSU. The top teams in the BCS conferences have even less reason to play a quality mid major. It's a no win situation for them, but hey if they can get a buy out game against KU or Duke or Pitt or Texas, I am all for it.

WSU wasn't competeing with VCU for last four in. Now VCU and WSU both are not competing for last four in.

They were when they scheduled the game. You can't blame BB for VCU's meltdown in the games prior to coming to Koch arena. Had VCU (and WSU for that matter) kept winning, the game would ave been a huge step towards at large land.

or you could think some as in a few as in exclusive. since i didn't specify which exclusive group of BCS schools you could ask. or you could simply assume the middle of the road.

right but they didn't did they? I didn't blame bb for VCU's meltdowns before BB. I blame GMU and ODU, lol.

Oh come on. Look at wsu pitiful home schedule. Why not drop some of the 200+ rip teams. Don't we have enough of those games during conference play? One next year best home games will be from bracketbusters.
