When do you think the Shockers receive their next “At-Large” bid?

The only way we're getting in the NCAA Tournament this year (2019) is by winning the conference tournament, in which case we would get the automatic bid and wouldn't need an At Large. Hence, the At Large for 2019 would be a very long shot.
I suppose, we could win the rest of our games and loose in the conference tourney championship and get an At Large that way. But that seems pretty slim.-
Not being mean but discussing this is lunacy. Like I said if we get to .500 this year, 3G should win COY honors. There are are four or five players that are missing from last years team that would be the best player on this year’s team—and one of them couldn’t shoot outside of five feet. SHJ was supposed to be a 5-10 min a game bench player this year.

Let's get to 23-9 and let the chips fall where they may with NCAA selection committee. Maybe and it's a BIG maybe the AAC will get 4 this year and maybe...just maybe our 7 year name cache will catapult us in!!!

Maybe? LOL This isn't the Valley. 25-7 is probably a protected seed out of the American. 5 seed at worst. 24-8 is without question in. 23-9 is probably in but starts to get a shade dicey (based on who we beat) but still in. Now, let me be clear, this team isn't going to be any of those records. -
I agree. I think the only way we make it to the tourney is by winning the AAC. I don’t see us reaching any of those 3 records. -
23-9? 14-4 or better in conference play? High hopes, probably too high.

We won’t get an an at large this year and maybe next year either. Far from guaranteed we would win either the Valley or the Valley tournament this year either.Last edited by shoxlax; December 24, 2018, 11:45 PM.Comment

I think the whole point of this poll SHOCKvalue is to show we would be in the tournament if we hadn't left the Valley.Comment

Which conclusion? The point of the poll or The Valley would be our sure ticket to the dance this year and next?Originally posted by Stickboy46 View PostComment

There's a small minority out there that thinks we hurt our chances to dance regularly since we left the Valley. But bad is bad and it would take an auto bid to get in from the Valley this year. We won exactly two tournaments in our nine years of dominance so that route would be stacked against us as well.
Pretty sure we don't get half of last years recruiting class, Teddy Allen and all of this years class if we had stayed in that league.Comment

Too many variables to know that. For instance there is a good chance some of the young players on this team and next years incoming players would not have signed had WSU still been in the Valley. No way to know what kind of team we would have right now if still in the Valley. Good bet it would be one with less potential however.Originally posted by shoxlax View PostComment

Short of a miracle, I can't believe there are those who are still discussing the Dance for this year (hope I'm wrong).
Next year may very well be a long shot as well. Yes, we'll have a lot of players who gained experience this year, but we will lose almost all of the little D-I experience we had coming into this season. The growth our young/newbie players show the remaining of this year will be a big indicator about next year.Comment

I’m of the (possibly unpopular) opinion that we don’t make the tournament last year if we were still in the Valley.Originally posted by shoxlax View PostComment

Yes we have signed multiple people that were similar rating to Fred and Landry out of HS.
There is zero way to spin being in the MVC as better. I don't know why certain people try to make that argument. It just doesn't make sense -
Because we went from something “unique” to something quite similar to 100 other programs in the nation.
We were a beast with Power 5 Budget, Power 5 players and Top 10 Coach, but we were playing in a low level conference. There wasn’t another program with that profile in the country...Yes, playing in the MVC had pluses and minuses but unique is always a selling point
To me success is great NCAA tournament runs. I don’t think the move to the American provides more of those over the next ten years....it provides a lot of other great benefits - mainly much better home schedule!
I would have made the same move, but I recognized the risk that this move would blow the whole damn thing up.

Our OOC record would have sunk our at large chances, even if we ran the table in the Valley. If we only drop 2 or 3 in the AAC there could be a chance. But that would be unreal. (Awesome, though!).
Keep improving, get healthy and play our best ball in March."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

We have two ok wins right now. 14-4 or 13-5 in conference with a decent showing in the conference tourney would have us on the bubble because we would likely add a couple quality wins.Originally posted by ShockerPrez View Post
In the MVC, 18-0 would be bubble as there are no quality wins to be had. 17-1 would completely eliminate at Large as it would add a bad loss with no extra good wins.Comment
