    This is my eye test. Their OOC.

      Too many good wins they will be in the field and likely at worse a 9 or 10 seed.

        The selection process was discussed and surprisingly to me, Wichita State Shockers were discussed to make a point.

        Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic react to NFL free agency and speak with ESPN's Joe Lunardi, NCAA selection committee chairman Joe Castiglione and more.


        If you listen online, see Hour 4.

        The interview begins around the 2:30 +/- minute mark.
        after listening to that, I'd say we were 50/50

          I dont disagree, but my guess is after the 1st round of the tourney, a lot of those teams that are 'good' wins will be bounced already.

            That what I got from it also.

            Lunardi said WSU resume was weak and not deserving of a 7 or 8. But he said he was seeding WSU as 7 or 8 based on his eye test and it would be unfair to seed them as a 11 or worse seed because you are punishing the lower seeded team by putting them against a team that was better than their seed [but I guess the counter point is that is exactly what the committee did with Kentucky]. So maybe u solve that dilemma by leaving WSU out - nobody will complain in the media.

            OU AD basically said they would look at results of when a player was out and after he was back to compare differences. He said it basically used to break ties. You could make the argument that WSU didn't prove they were unbeatable with Fred.

              Im not sure I follow that logic. So they will agree that based on the resume the shockers are a 10 or 11 seed, but with the quality of a 7 or 8, and thus the fair solution is to simply leave them out?

                Isn't the entire point of the selection committee is to get the best at large teams in the field

                • Quotes from Marshall on the week of waiting, etc.

                  WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall discussed life on the NCAA Tournament bubble, and how his team is handling the wait in this week's men's basketball press conference. Read on for the transcript.


                  …On the "eye test" actually favoring his team this time around in the selection proccess.
                  "It's an unusual situation to be in for many reasons. That's why I say that you have to watch our team… even a night where we don't shoot the ball well – like UNI – we still competed. It was a high-level basketball game. They're playing very, very well, as everyone can see. We had our chances to win the game, many chances. We just didn't take advantage of them. They did.

                  I think the eye test is number one. Some people have a better eye for basketball talent from a team perspective…Others just go by strictly breaking down computer numbers, and others use higher-end numbers like analytics."

                  • I watched a few minutes of the 1st half of TTech vs. TCU. I've seen more energy on jello night at the local retirement home.

                        I don't know, Kum & Go compels a protected seed as well.

                          I agree with Coach that anyone with a set of eyes who watches D1 can see The Shocks are a worthy team.

                          He also says, "That's why I say that you have to watch our team..." & "They're (N. Iowa) playing very, very well, as everyone can see."

                          What makes me nervous about these obvious truths is who's watching the Valley?

                              But who watches the Valley enough to know these things?

                              • George Washington plays today, Palm has them in his bracket, only 2 others do, but them losing would be great.

                                VCU and St. Bon play their games tomorrow. Both losing would be great for WSU on the bubble... if WSU is on the bubble.

                                Games to pay attention to.
