Selection Sunday Thread

[shock]

"Why does WSU do really well against higher seeded opponents?"

"Because we're really good."

[WheatShock]

With us landing a 10 seed, we clearly were not thought of highly by the commiteee. It makes me wonder if we had lost to ISU in the title game, if we would have been left out. I hate saying it, but Parish may have been right about us after all.

I think you mean facepalm, but it sure does look like we would've been left out.

[Shocker Mama]

KU seems to have a friendly path, assuming Vick doesn't beat up any women or Jackson doesn't vandalize anything between now and then.

Or there are more rapes in the Bball dorm while Bragg is smoking two pipes simultaneously.

[SHOCKvalue]

I think it's safe to say we can all put the talk about Shaus and Rasmussen being cheerleaders of sorts for WSU amongst the balance of the Selection Committee.

De nada.

The committee thought WSU was ranked 36-40 after Shaus and Rasmussen lobbied for us. Since Shaus got us in last year, he obviously has an impact so where would WSU have ended up without them? 13-15 seed?

A committee member is being interviewed on ESPN by Andy Katz.

He said we were the most discussed team in regards to our seeding due to our high metrics, yet bad looking resume.

Said it ultimately came down to us only having one win against a team in the tournament, which was SDSt.

Time to either leave this conference, or start scheduling some "Away only" games against perennial tournament teams.

Head of the selection committee said WSU was the most discussed. It came down to wins against top 50 teams.

So a biased irrelevant metric. Gotcha

3 of their 4 losses came to tourney teams (and one should've been). Two on neutral courts (the should've been on the road).

With the Syracuse argument, that deserves a 4-seed!

I guess the benefit of this whole committee snub is that we're getting A LOT of good pub about our team!

We did last year too.

This is all one big repeat. All the talk; all the storylines; everything.

Unless, as Bilas says, they just got outvoted.
