Official Selection Show Watch Party Thread

[ShockerFever]

OK, boys. We're headed your way. Would love to see some of you out cheering on the Coogs and your favorite player, Rob Gray.

I'll be cheering every time a foul is called on Robbie.

[Shox The Revenant]

C'mon Fev, you don't really mean that do you? We want Houston to earn some money for us right?

[asiseeit]

Don't hold your breath - fouls are not allowed to be called on him

[ShockerFever]

Sorry KC. I didn't appreciate the "shhh" treatment on Saturday. If he wants us to shhh, then I'll shhh.

[ShockingButTrue]

People keep talking about Ok State but have any of you watched them more than the KU and WSU games? Or even just looked at their resume? Honestly they got listed far closer to the bubble than they should. RPI in the 80s 5 and freaking 12 in q1 games. 8-14 against q1 and 2. Not even close.

They beat a ranked Seminole team before conference play even started, handled the Horns, won in Morgantown against a ranked team, beat #6 Texas Tech, beat the Chickens twice, and finally, won 2 of 3 against the sooners.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

I'll be cheering for Houston. Maybe not Rob Gray, but Houston.

[Coog89]

The more games that Houston wins ... The better the conference looks and the more money that comes in. I'll cheer them on

I'll be cheering on the Shockers and the Bearcats. Good luck to all. I would love it if all 3 of us made it to the Final 4.

Awesome! They also took 17 attempts to get there.

If anyone is curious - the only other Valley team (besides Loyola) in the postseason was Drake (CIT).

[ShockTalk]

No team was really NIT worthy and for any other teams to play in a tourney means spending money to do so. That's a problem.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Cincy and WSU treated pretty fairly. Houston could make an easy argument for a slightly better seed.

I think Houston’s non con SOS caught up to them.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

WSU grabbing the 4 seed is huge. Big drop off from 12s to 13s. KenPom has the 5s chances between 63-74%, WSU at 84%.

[Shockm]

Wasn't our best seed recently a 5 in 2012? This is huge.

[DJShocker10]

1 in 2014.

[WSUwatcher]

Yes, Shockm -- this is the best 21st century seed for a Shocker team that has lost a game

[Kung Wu]

Creighton vs K-State on Friday. Hmmm, let's root for .......... a Tiger Woods come back at the Arnie Palmer Invitational!

[Shockm]

1 in 2014.

Well we were undefeated for that so it doesn't really count.

[SHOCKvalue]

My meter has got to be broken.

[Aargh]

KU and OU really took advantage of all their quality losses. When is the last time you saw a 1 seed with 7 losses? Or a team with 13 losses in the tournament? Kind of have to include Syracuse in there, but I was going for local teams. Missouri with only 12 losses hardly makes a ripple this year.

[shocks02]

BCS schools get in with 13 or 14 losses all the time. Heck, Vanderbilt got in out of the SEC with 15 losses last season and the SEC wasn't even that good.

[bighouse]

OK, boys. We're headed your way. Would love to see some of you out cheering on the Coogs and your favorite player, Rob Gray.

Your boy Rob has requested we "shh", so i will oblige.
