    But we have a chance, and it's reasonable, to advance, deep.
    I agree. Sure I feel WSU is constantly disrespected. But I have also gotten to the point that no opponent really scares me. As long as the Shox play their game and play it well they will have a shot against anyone. Such a nice position to be in.

    • I love that Gregg mentioned that the committee matched up non P5 teams to thin the herd.
      Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

      • Just play our game. It's very possible we could still be playing when the vaunted flagship bows out of the region of fluff.

          • Muller calling out that he reached out to 25 tournament teams to try to schedule this year, all said no.

              Yep, but it's the mid-majors fault that they "don't schedule anyone" or that the "don't challenge themselves".

              When your Syracuse And can play Eric Fisher Acadamy 10 times at home before ACC play, and be OK, because you will get enough shots in those games, it's BS.

              If anything, mid-majors should get MORE credit, because they have more pressure on them and less room for error, but $$$ talks.

              • On the road pretty much all day today and I was so anxious find out our seed and who we had. I remember thinking that we'll have to add 3 or 4 to what seed we should actually get and that will be the seed they give us. Check Shockernet, and sure enough, we're a 10 seed. The formula really is that predictable now.

                Selection committee screw job aside, these are going to be some fun match ups to watch. Think 3G was spot on with his comment about them having to eliminate as many non-P5s as possible. Looking at the bracket makes it painfully obvious.

                They detest our university and others like us. If we advance anything beyond their little token "Cinderella story," were a problem. We were beyond that **** 4+ years ago.

                Oh, and man, they must have it in for the Miller brothers. Second year in a row one of them has us in the round of 64, extremely underseeded?

                  . And on top of that you can lose most of the conference road games so long as you chalk up a couple good wins along the way.

                    • Maybe we have to take the Long Beach State light approach?

                      • Checked the weather. Strong North wind tomorrow. I assume the result of a giant collective sigh of relief in Lawrence.

                        • We could have the exact same resume of someone like Seton Hall and we wouldn't even sniff the bubble. The committee is going to move the goalposts however they see fit. It has nothing to do with "who you play, who you beat" it has everything to do with what conference are you from.

                          • The ADs from outside the p5 on the Committee must have nuts the size of neutrons. Those imbeciles are digging their own grave when they go along with this horse ****.

                              HAHAHA love that guy.

                              • Today sucked as a Bird fan. Simply put the Valley needs to be better. After seeing the disrespect you guys got with the seed I'm all in on the Shockers for the rest of the season. Good luck and kick some Kentucky ass. Would love to see Calipari whine some more.
