South Dakota St? The same team that has a KenPom of 80, will have an RPI of 50 if they lose tonight, and lost 5 games outside the top 100 (will be 6 if they lose tonight) including a loss to #282 UMKC?

What is going on in the world? Trump? Jerry Palm? South Dakota St?

Help!!!!!!

I think the fact that they can still get an Auto bid has that really high. We were like 90% before the semi final loss

and don't get me started on Hofstra!!

I think they are saying SDST has an 84% chance to win their Conference Tourn and get the auto bid....If they don't they are out.... They have Valpo as a 25% chance of making it and Mono as 3%....They have So Carolina and LSU as out.....Is Hofstra still playing in conference tourney???

Margin of victory and style of victory is now all of a sudden frowned upon? lol

These losers are making things up on the fly to try and save their asses. This is honestly pretty amazing.

It's a little reminiscent of KU fan logic.

Didn't know where to put this, but don't know how UNI is on par now with WSU.

Well, I heard that Jimmy Hofstra was buried at the Meadowlands ;)

When did it become necessary to be a troll working for cbs? Is almost like all of them are marching to "bag on WSU orders".

Shox are getting in, and they can have fun crying about it.

Honest question that i don't know if it's been answered or not at all.... how does our resume look now compared to at this point in 2013? I know the W-L was near the same.

They all want to be Jim Rome. The thing about Rome is, he just talks and doesn't pretend to be an expert.

Seriously did Gregg or some other WSU official do something to piss off CBS? The only analysts really going out of their way to continuously argue against WSU come from CBS - I don't think this is a coincidence.

Honest answer, it doesn't matter when it comes to our chances of getting in this year vs that year

Looks like seth Davis is getting a little overwhelmed with all this Wichita state talk... Lol

One item to note. Baker came back from injury in the 2013 MVC Tourney, and WSU still lost in the semis. It is hard to believe the committee had much reason to give WSU a big boost for having Freshman Ron Baker injured much of the year. Fast forward to this year, and FVV’s injury is very well documented, covered, and everyone knows that Senior FVV is a huge asset to this team. From a pure “injury adjustment standpoint”, I’m convinced 2016 WSU gets more of a boost than 2013 WSU did, and justifiably so. Baker turned out to be amazing in the 2013 NCAA Tourney, but hindsight is 20/20, and the committee didn’t have any way to have reasonably expected that much out of him.

P.S. I'm predicting a 10 seed this year.
