Every year, I pick against Baylor in my bracket and I am rarely proven wrong. I will be picking them to lose their 2nd round game again, no matter the match up. Won't be surprised if they poop the bed and lose first round either.

They're another Big12 flamer candidate.

I would like to hear the case that WSU was better than KU last year.

I would like to hear the case that WSU was better than KU last year."I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

I asked him to convince me of his opinion. Make his case. I'm waiting on him. If you agree with his opinion, you are welcome to give it a shot too.

Obviously, the better you are, especially relative to your opponent(s), the better your chance of winning. But with the sort of dispersion that exists in college basketball, playing a ~30 game regular season, plus a conference tournament, plus a (maximum) six round single elimination tournament doesn't tell you who's best. (Which is also why we see all the Monte Carlo style simulations of playing the tournament 10,000 times, or whatever.) It just tells you who's the champion. The talk about who's best is just for smack, and WSU's record and performance over the past five years stacks up well with just about any. No point in defending or arguing it beyond that unless you're just trying to kill time.
