What will be WSU NCAA Tourny Seed

[Carolina_Shock]

I going the other way. We have single digit metrics, top 20 team, history of winning games in the dance with most being upsets (based on seed). With the committee knowing the outcry if an 8 seed is favored over a 2, they are going to give some shocker love an place us as a 5. This year they do right thing!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Now, feel free to call me an idiot.

No that's actually completely logical. Seeding them much worse makes the committee look like idiots.

It's really getting old every year around this time with the overarching national narrative saying basically that WSU is fitting of this seed due to empirical evidence A, B, C, X, and Y, but due to evidence Z they are going to get a much more punitive and difficult seed line. Because Z.

What's even more asinine is the fact the Selection Committee is happy to make the same mistake over, and over, and over again. Like a petulant child who won't learn from mistakes or listen to outside advice.

It's especially bad that the national media is all over it now, from all kinds of outlets, saying how bad it would be if WSU was underseeded again. I mean if the media is pleading for WSU to be seeded higher, maybe the committee should take a hint. I mean, they do the same when the ESPN is pimping Duke and UNC to be 1 seeds they probably don't deserve.

I am getting the feeling they do a classic hose job and place us as the 7-10 oppisite game of Gonzaga 1/2 seed to protect their power 5 boys.

6, book it

[SB Shock]

95% of shockernet wrong.....lol.

6, book it

Good guess!:smiley_simmons:

I think it's more about 95% of the selection committee was wrong.

[shoxlax]

10 is what we will get, 6 is what we deserve.

First round matchup in Tulsa vs Arkansas?

I'm bumping this because I hate myself for being right

I'm right there with you! Minus the 6 part that is; I can't tell anymore what we deserve because the committee has proven once again that they are looking through cement colored glasses when it comes to the Shox

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

We deserve a 5, we'll get a 10. The seven and two seeds will immediately say "well crap" when the seedings are announced.

I still think the 7 and 2 have crapped their pants

Kentucky is a terrible draw. They are playing better than 3 of the 4 1 seeds.

[Kel Varnsen]

If we had such a quality young man like Tyler Brown as a player and PR representative, the committee would probably look more favorably on us.

I feel bad for him actually. Due to no fault of his own, he has become a ShockerNet meme and may never recover.

Agreed.

Since we return all of our rotation players for next Season, I predict we will somehow, someway, play Kentucky again in the 2nd round next Season.
