NCAA selects top 16 - does this give them free pass to lose in conf tourney with no penalties?
TTL BS IMHO

[Play Angry]

It's a mock selection made as if the selection show occurred this morning. Nothing is binding.

ok, just hyping themselves.....lol

WSU in 86 of the 97 brackets now. http://bracketmatrix.com/

Jerry Palm is in the minority.

Agree from a earlier poster...he must have it out for Wichita St. Sounding pretty obvious.

Can't remember now but I wonder where he thought the Shocks should've been seeded in our undefeated year?

[ShockerFever]

It was a complete waste of 30 minutes, especially when they brought in the hackjob. Absolutely clueless.

My memory may be foggy, but I don't believe Palm moved us to the 1-seed line until the final week or two.

Palm is the perfect name. He is constantly palming himself.

That's kinda what I was remembering too. What a tool.

Wisconsin being ranked #7 in th AP poll, but not getting a top 4 seed is not a good sign for us... They weren't chosen for a top seed because they lack quality wins. Sounds familiar... I feel we will be looking at a 10-12 seed if we get in.

Yes, but Butler was ranked #22 and was placed as a 4 seed. Today, they're not even smelling that.

That is what I got out of the committee reveal today. Gonzaga and Wisconsin both discounted. Not a good sign for us.

I personally don't like our chances either with the lack of quality wins. However, our cache is there and we will benefit from that. If there's any "eye test" evaluating going on, I also think we'll benefit.

And more than anything, they have to pick 36 at-large teams. There's a lot of crap on the bubble this year. That will also be a benefactor for us.

I prefer we leave no doubt and just win the whole mother******* thing.

All of this is accurate. But just looking at all the teams, as long as there aren't massive upsets in tourneys, I think WSU is solidly in right now. Sure, if San Francisco, Wake Forest, Iowa, Vanderbilt, Stanford and St. Johns all win their conference tourneys (or if WSU loses unexpectedly) then the Shocks are in big trouble, but they are solidly in right now. IMHO.

I was shocked when we got a 7 seed two years ago. I was shocked when our name popped up for the play-in game. I will not be shocked if our name doesn't get called this year. It doesn't take me 3 times to see a trend.
