    On a different note, after sleeping on it, I am confident we are in. However, CBS's vendeta against us is befuddling. Don't we actually get excellent ratings? Maybe they are still pissed at us over sending the chickenhawks anhome. I trust Lunardi over Palm all day everyday. Further, to even consider LSU's resume tourney worthy, let alone better than ours is a joke. If they get in, it is simply because the committee wants Ben Simmons in the bracket. Fortunately, I think that is more a media school of thought than the committee.
    and LSU would not certify Ben Simmons for the Wooden award due to academic issues

            Wow. That's like "lock of the year" in.

              We had 2 weeks since the last UNI game. Perhaps we need 3 weeks.

                Hopefully, it will be up to them.

                  Meant 2 weeks, no scouts, no games, just time to concentrate on the team.

                  • Dance Card has us as the 3rd team out. Stanford, Valpo, Monmouth, and Saint Mary's are probably below us though in real life, so I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

                    • WSU's weakness is half court offense. Still when you think about it they are 18-3 since conference play began (counting NMSU) and not a single bad loss. Just takes that team that can avoid turnovers, play solid half court defense, and an extremely poor shooting performance from WSU (which they aren't a good shooting team this year but i mean extremely poor). Just think if just one more shot in each of those 3 losses goes in prior to having to foul. No one to blame but themselves, and credit to UNI's and ISU's defense. Still 18-3 over last 21 is pretty salty, hopefully they do ignore Orlando and it's enough.

                        Well, Lunardi's a little slow (or lazy -- what else does he have to do all day?) when it comes to recognizing conference tournament results. He still has Belmost in, even though they went down in their tournament and Peay won the autobid (with an 18-17 record than includes two big wins over non-D1 teams). So once the tournaments are over, there will definitely be some shuffling in his bracket. But I feel confident WSU will be there as well.

                        Try this scenario: the Shocks drop to an 11-seed Dayton game against USC (as the committee decides to let them prove themselves now that Fred is back) in a regional where Baylor from the glorious Big 12-2 is the #6, and Utah checks in at #3. Anyone object to that schedule for the first week?

                          Don't think he's updated this morning as they don't have UNI or Evansville in there.

                          Things that have updated this morning :

                          KenPom:10
                          Sagarin: 24
                          BPI: 24
                          NPI: 18
                          Massey Composite: 25
                          KPI: 39

                          • A team like us is very useful in the field this year, they can force a team who on paper is considered a great team, but when look under the hood, lacks substance, thus pin them against a team like Wichita state to test their worth

                              I guess I might not know what those numbers represent or how they are derived, but if they are over 68 teams, then I guess we are in the field

                                Ah you could be right. ESPN mobile shows the last update date as 3/6 but it has been wrong before.
