    • Somehow it seems that the hit on VCU isn't in step with the hit on UNI.

      VCU was a previous 9 seed, won their last 2 games, and drops to 4th spot in the First 4 Out.

      UNI was a previous 12 seed, had a bad loss their last game, and drops to 2nd Spot in the First 4 Out.

                • IIRC when we thought Palm was insane a few years back, he ended up being pretty spot on. I think it was the year we were a play in, maybe?

                  And yes, it was a screw job by the NCAA, and we ended up advancing, but maybe his job is not so much what he thinks, but trying to peg what the NCAA thinks.

                      In the Valley, every season is like playing the board game "Stratego". However, there is only one path for the leading team (UNI this season) to capture the conference flag and its completely surrounded by "Bombs" and they (UNI) don't have have many "Miners" to diffuse the bombs.

                      That's 18 "Bombs"...

                        • Shoxthemonkey for sure.
                          One quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.

                            Thanks for the great memory, Reaper -- I used to love playing Stratego when I was in college. Also an excellent description of the current Valley. AAC! AAC! AAC!

                            • The team sheet for the Shockers is looking pretty interesting right now.

                              - WSU now up to 9 with the blowout of Ole Miss.
                              - All 9 road games remaining are currently Q1/Q2. USF has managed to keep their ranking up. Tulane is not a road opponent, but they would qualify as a Q2 road opponent as well. Tough conference.
                              - 3 home games are Q1/Q2, with the other 5 being Q3. Need to hold serve at home.
                              - Memphis dropping the game against Georgia moves them to that 2nd tier of Q1 games. That hurts. Oklahoma State also dropped out of that territory after getting thrashed. Need those teams to keep a lofty ranking.
                              You miss 100% of the shots you don't take....

                              .....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.
