Wow!!! Missouri State a 13 seed.

Wow!!! Missouri State a 13 seed.

It's a mock selection process too...they throw a few wrinkles such as upsets in conf tourneys....the 13 seed of MSU would indicate the won arch madness in the mock process

Has us as a 6 in Albuquerque against St. Louis. That would be a tough matchup, but I think Baylor is a 3 seed we could handle.

Every win Creighton achieves in the NCAA tournament means an extra $60k (or whatever it works out to) in WSU's pocket thanks to shared television revenue.

So yeah, I don't mind seeing CU or any MVC team make a Sweet Sixteen run. My dislike for their fan base isn't worth six figures.

Besides just the additional money, being in a conference that gets multiple bids helps us get better coaches and keep them longer (ie-Marshall) and helps us with recruiting.

Now has WSU a 5 playing in Portland vs. Cincinnati.

That bracket would stink for us. If we have to play a #1 in the sweet 16, I just don't want it to be Kentucky or Syracuse. If we had Missouri, I'd be jumping for joy. I'd almost rather be a 6 than a 4, because the difference between playing a 5 or a 3 in the round of 32 is much less than the difference between playing a 1 or a 2 in the sweet 16 (particularly if its Syracuse or Kentucky). Now if we can get up to a 3 seed, that would obviously trump everything else.

Portland would not be an easy drive. I'm hoping he's wrong on this one.

I'll never root for Creighton. Just like I'll never root for the Denver Broncos or the New York Yankees.

I understand the sentiment. I'm the same way with some teams. I couldn't support the Chiefs even if they were playing Al Queda.

I am still hoping for a 3 seed. I think it is very doable if we keep winning. But beating Illinois St in Normal won't be easy. They are a very good team at home (and a lousy one on the road).

I've heard several times that MO and KU will be protected to Omaha. Louisville is just about as close to Columbia as Omaha. I don't think that it's a sure thing that they are sent there. It is a sure thing for KU.

Louiville is about 45min farther than omaha from columbia. We need KU to smash MO and hopefully that will move MO to a 2 seed and send them to Louisville and that will open up omaha for wsu as a 3 or 4 seed

I get the sense we won't be afforded the privilege of playing in Omaha...I'd settle for Albequerque.

I would rather go to Nashville, same time zone.
