      At least they are finally admitting that these power 5 teams that we played this year are nobodies.

        They talk like they're nobodies but as soon as one of them gets a big win they start trying to get them in the tournament.

            • So out of the 87 bracketologists that picked us how many made us an at large vs the auto bid. Makes a difference doesn't it.

                • Shox are gonna crush it in St Louis. I think they are locked in.

                  • Seriously, I think we have an elite team this year, but we just don't get to know it for certain because of the light schedule. They are blowing people out worse than normal and have more offensive weapons than I can remember in recent memory. The team is as deep as the 2011-12 team but is arguably more talented. I would never say that it's not possible they could lose in St. Louis, but I really think the string of 20+ point wins will continue for all 3 games. Even if Illinois State is one of the opponents. Sorry Burds. I do hope you get in at-large and make it through a round or two. Would be good for the Valley.

                    • This is a nervous time. Excited nervous, though. Ready for it to get started, but I am confident in the team to take care of what needs to be done and be motivated to do it.

                        If you look at http://www.bracketmatrix.com/. WSU is in 122 of 124 brackets currently. IL State is in 99 of 124 brackets. That means that 97 of the 124 brackets have both WSU and IL State.

                        9 of the 25 brackets where WSU is listed and not IL State has WSU as a single digit seed. So you could safely say WSU is a lock in 106/124 brackets. Also, out of the Bracketmatrix's top 11 bracketologists, 1 I didn't find in the matrix, 1 had WSU in as a 11 seed and no IL State, and the other 9 had both ILSt and WSU in.

                          Bless you, exactly what I wanted. I really appreciate it and a far more accurate picture of what people think of us.

                            I keep hearing that palm is the "only one" who thinks this way, but looking at the above information, it appears there are 18 others who also think we are out if we don't win the conference tournament.

                              I wouldn't make that leap. There are 18 that don't clearly have the Shox as a lock/ should be in. If the have the Shox as a 10 or 11 seed, then a loss may knock them down a seed line but still be in for those brackets, they just are predicting a win of the tourney.

                                If they keep attacking the glass with pride they'll be just fine. It'll be a good March.
