    I’d take an 11 seed over a 7-10 seed straight up every day of the week. I’ve always been a believer in avoiding the 7-10 seeds (which is ironic, since we made the final 4 as a 9). IMO our goal in most years is to at least make the sweet 16, not just winning a game. While yes being a 7-10 seed gives us a better chance of winning our 1st game, our chances of winning against a 1-2 seed in the next round are pretty low. Doable obviously, but low. IMO there are generally 6-10 teams each year that possess not only the athletic ability, but the skill to make things very challenging for WSU. As an 11 seed you typically get a good, but not great 6 seed, then more than likely a 3 seed, which gives you a chance to avoid those 6-10 teams till the following rounds. I don’t think it’s a coincidence you see an 11 seed go far quite frequently.

    • We’ve had success in that play-in game. A lot of teams use it as a springboard.

      • No doubt we'll be one of the first teams out if we drop tonight's game

              • Lunardi STILL has UNI in after that loss. Am I missing something? Don't they have like one good win?

                • He probably thinks UNI will when the Missouri Valley Tournament next week. Wait...

                    I'm not getting that either. 2 Top 75 wins vs 3 >150 losses

                    Only thing I see is their NET. Which will likely tank tomorrow

                    • UNI will NOT be in the NCAA's. Ironclad guarantee.

                      • Why is Rutgers in? No way they’re in. 1 road win at N. Zero scheduled non con road games. Lost to St Bon at home. I’m not saying we’re in and they aren’t, but they aren’t and any of 4 SoCon teams are. What a joke.

                          Because the Big Ten isn’t getting enough teams in and an elite conference like that deserves more.

                              They’re in there as the autobid right now since they’re in first. Won’t get an at-large.

                              • Is it true that the American regular champ get the autobid?
