16-17 Games of Interest

Nova going down to Butler.

The same Butler that lost to a Valley team?

0-3 valley team. And CU lost to Nova so that makes WSU better than KU. Wait I confused myself.

WSU has literally been right next door to CU in kenpom virtually all year, if that helps.

9th place Valley team. Butler sucks? Villanova sucks more?

Iowa State nearly pulled out a win at #2 Baylor last night, but Baylor finished strong and survived. These are the little, unnoticed games, that will matter to WSU come March. Ain't no catchin' Baylor, but it is very possible that WSU and Iowa State are competitors for a NCAA seed, whether it be for a 7 seed, or just to grab the last at-large.

In years like 2013-2014, we all needed to root for the #2 team to lose to the "almost top 25" team. This year, it is the exact opposite.

You have to include the Butler beat Indiana who beat Kansas to get all the way there, but yeah.

But then you must also factor in Gardner Webb beat Nebraska who beat Indiana who beat Kansas.

Gardner Webb > North Carolina

Gardner Webb > North Carolina

Well, as Joaquin (Yogi) Andujar used to say, there's one word for that: You never know.

We all know who the bid would go to in those circumstances. Even though we are talking about the same Cyclone squad that struggled with the Sycamores on a neutral court.

Granted it was at their place, but we didn't exactly blow ISUb away ourselves ...

"In those circumstances"? I'm simply saying it is very possible that the final resume ranks look as follows:

1) Iowa St (had they won @ Baylor)
2) WSU
3) Iowa St (given that they lost @ Baylor)

We should all be glad Iowa St lost, and should continue to root for similar results the rest of the year. Whining about how the selection committee works is just an unrelated rabbit trail.

[Cdizzle]

When did whining about how the selection committee works become a rabbit trail unrelated to guessing how the selection committee will rank teams at the end of the season?

Are you bored? Is that why you're just making stuff up to start more unnecessary squabbles?

Well, the significance of an away win at OU has surely started to dissipate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
