Jerry Palm knows how to make a bloody weekend. Wants to make GGG take on two of his assistants just to get out of the first weekend.

Yeah Palm no likey Coach Marshall. He does this every year with his brackets. He either matches up Wichita with former assistants...or teams we already played for a revenge factor. Every year. #StillRigged

He hates him so much he had us as a two seed a week ago.

[AZ Shocker]

Yep. He's a hack alright. Lol

[shoxlax]

I don’t think Palm hates us per se, just any conference below the top seven. Now that we’ve been allowed to golf at his country club, he’s paying attention to us.

I’ve avoided this thread since we lost to UH. I guess I don’t want to know the truth.

We lost back to back games in conference and only dropped a couple seed lines ... This is not 2016 anymore.

Yes, I’m being dramatic...I was getting to excited about us being projected as a 2 or 3 seed. We’ll be fine, it’s just tough to see things go south.

Bracketology: Ohio State was a No. 1 seed a month ago, but is in danger of being left out of the field of 68 - CBS

"...Memphis slips after blowout loss: If you need any more evidence that uncapped margin of victory matters in the NET, check out what happened to Memphis. The Tigers took one of the more head-scratching losses of the season at Tulsa on Wednesday. It isn't that Tulsa is terrible or anything like that. It's the 80-40 score that is shocking. In the NET, the fall was relatively precipitous. The Tigers dropped 15 places, from 26 to 41. Tulsa, on the other hand, jumped up almost 20 spots, from 85 to 66.

Memphis dropped down to a No. 9 seed in the bracket, and it took Wichita State down with them. The Shockers were counting Memphis as their best win of the season and a win over a borderline top 25 team, even at home, is nice to have. The win over the Tigers is still Wichita State's best win, but it no longer counts as a Quadrant 1 win. The damage to the Shockers' profile, along with the results of some other teams in that part of the bracket, have moved them down to a No. 8 seed...."

Bracketology 2020: The bubble is getting increasingly crowded - SB Nation

"With seven weeks to go until Selection Sunday, a seemingly impossible number of teams have a shot at sneaking into the field.

Last February, I pondered whether 2019’s bubble was the worst ever. I concluded it wasn’t, simply because every bubble was by definition “bad” since the NCAA added three teams to the field in time for the 2011 tournament. A little less than a calendar year later, college basketball is confronted with a different problem: A bubble that’s seemingly without an end.

The bubble’s upper edge
...the Wichita State Shockers find themselves among the top 30, but the trio have combined for just two Quad 1 wins so far this season....

2-seed West Virginia
7-seed Wichita State
8-seed Houston
10-seed Oklahoma

11-seed VCU (Last Team In)

Interesting fact: WSU is the only NET Top 50 team without a Q1 win. 0-1 in Q1 chances, with the only game being against West Virginia.
