    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kickass ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

      Ah yes...http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...tate-redbirds: Tulsa and Murray State, no top 25 wins. Though looking at the last 4, I think a case could be made for them over Providence.

        IMO, half of it is the MVC, but half of it is the OOC. We lost to good teams and won the cupcakes. We need to get rid of cupcakes at home, and win some top 50 opponents, the respect will be there.
        No our OOC was fine. We weren't good yet.

        • I like Charles Barkley. Kudos to Gary Parrish too.

            • At least Barkely gave the Shox the lead "you got screwed" story.
              The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
              We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                Depends on the 8 seed. The problem here wasn't the 10 seed, it was a 10 seed putting us against:


                UK (the toughest 2 seed by KenPom)
                UCLA (a weak 3)
                UNC (a strong 1)

                Essentially this means road games for the first two games having to beat the #3 and #4 teams to get to the Final Four. That's a really, really tough route even with "easy" games against UCLA and Dayton (and those aren't easy).

                  If you think Jerry Palm has that kind of influence then I don't know what to tell you.

                  We have 3 Top 130 wins. I'm SURE they looked at that. Probably why they dropped us to a 10.

                  We can beat anyone in that region. If we're as good as most of us think on here, then we should be facing UNC in the Elite 8.

                  • Charles Barkley:

                    "The Committee didn't respect Gonzaga for years, but then gave them respect after they proved they belonged. They're not doing the same thing for WSU. That is wrong."

                    (Close, but not exact quote.)

                      Barkley was more than fair in support of Shockers.

                          • There is absolutely ZERO justification for this seeding. Every poll and every ranking has WSU pegged higher--whether it be Sagarin, Kenpom, AP, USA Today, EVEN the vaunted RPI. A 30-4 record? 6th Straight trip to the tournament with a successful history over that time? There is no other way to look at this...WSU has every reason to have the chip on their shoulder, has every reason to leave the Valley NOW, and every motivation for going and kicking some butt.
