2016 Bracketology

[_kai_]

I've been hoarding dank Jerry Palm meme's like they're heirloom seeds in an apocalypse.

Let's rock and roll on Sunday.

I just don't see us playing KU again in the Second Round. I could be wrong though.

I know. That would be kinda lame me thinks. Been there done that (like last year). It's funner as fans to play new blood. I'd much rather be in a bracket with possible match-up against Carolina or Villinova...and would love to get an opportunity to go against Coach K. Have we ever played Duke???

My last 5 in: St. Bonaventure, Mich, UConn, Syracuse, Wich St. First 5 out: Valpo, Monmouth, Vandy, Tulsa, St. Mary's.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Tulsa ahead of St. Mary's? Good grief Seth!

[shoxlax]

What a dweeb. By tomorrow he may have us as a protected seed

[ShockdaWorld]

What does that even mean? If WSU gets in easily, and CBS downplayed WSU all year, how does that make them look good?

I probably said that wrong. Should've said that it looks like they don't want to have a bunch of disagreement amongst themselves. Would look a bit silly if CBS "expert" was disagreed with by all of the other CBS people. I also didn't say anything about "all year", but just since about tourney time. That was the first I saw of Seth drinking the kool-aid, although he may have started earlier.

Agreed. If you have a guy sitting under a Palm tree spouting BS, you call him a nut. If he's sitting there with three guys in suit and ties you might believe he knows something.

Perhaps the saving grace with all of the bubble talk concerning the Shockers is that they have been in the conversations all week. When most other conferences are playing, showcasing themselves during this exciting week of basketball, normally WSU and the MVC are behind on the back burner!

In hind sight we've been in the entire time, but CBS and other media pundits took our crap ass resume and made a story out of it... Injury bug is why we didn't and couldn't win some of our non conference games, you look at any other non RPI metric and we are comfortably in.

[Play Angry]

It's almost as if we have a resident bracketologist who was once cited in USA Today that's been telling us this for weeks.

During a Stage One Rem moment I had watching HGTV I had a dream that we were a 10 and played Texas in Denver.

Uh-oh, you've stumbled onto J Palm's method.

Dick Vitale trying to say Georgia is squarely on the bubble lol

We will be in the KU pod. BCS peeps want to give KU another shot, now if we would of lost last year then they wouldn't put us against them for another shot.
