Over/under 45 minutes until Calipari publicly rips the committee for screwing WSU and UK?

Warmup shirts need to say "STILL ANGRY".

Depends on which 1 seed was in our region.

It could be worse. Our 2 seed could be Duke or Arizona. We can beat Kentucky.

Everyone's favorite team to hate, Kansas, beat them @ Kentucky and everyone on here seems to think KU is the worst team in the world.

So if KU can beat them, we should blow them out by 50.

Plus Dayton has lost their last two games to George Washington and Davidson. Not exactly two amazing teams there.

Yeah we should consider ourselves lucky we're not playing TCU.

[ShockerDropOut]

So the committee in their seeding believes that we are the 37-40th best team in the country? Stupid.

Scouting report?

[Kel Varnsen]

Can the committee stop pretending they even look at (or understand) advanced metrics? Absurd.

10?....Jerry Palm talked us down. The committee obviously doesn't look at BPI/Kenpalm. We got screwed again. Guess our boys gotta pull up their britches and go out there and kick butt. Go Shocks.

Or the AP ranking

[IlliniShocker]

And if someone said 7 seed with isu in as a 11, or 10 with no isu, i would take the 10. Enjoy the NIT.

I really don't understand the people with this chain of thought. Completely understand hating on conference rivals, since I'm the same way with most Big Ten teams. Everyone keeps bitching about how weak the Valley is, but then turn right back around and actively hope for another Valley team to miss the tournament? It makes absolutely no sense.

Michigan State AD Mark Hollis oversees committee

Plaster him with tweets @MSUAD

[ShockerFever]

It's clear the committee only values Top 50 wins, but only if the Top 50 wins fit into their mindset. 2 wins over Illinois State (32) would not look as good as 2 wins over Syracuse (83). Now how the **** does that make sense? They're a bunch of walking hypocrites.

They cater to a category where only the P5 has the advantage. There is no way any non-P5 team can EVER rack up the amount of Top 50 wins that qualifies them unless they play 6 non-conference games on the road at Top 25 teams in November and December. Then they must not have an off night (like P5's do whenever) and go basically undefeated for 2 months in their conferences slate. THEN, they must win a hot weekend conference tournament in March where they hope they don't have another off-night against teams hungry as hell to get into the NCAA's by beating them.

And you think the NCAA, who is all about students, equality, and fairness, is being FAIR?

This trash is what killed football and they're perilously close to doing in basketball.

Ill bet anything youre right!

[1972Shocker]

Gotlube already said WSU will lose against Dayton.

Now their is a surprise.

[Ta Town Shocker]

I understand the arguments about pairing up WSU with non P5 teams and the beef with prior years. If anyone expected WSU to have a cakewalk to the F4 this year though, I just don't get it.

[SB Shock]

Can the committee stop pretending they even look at (or understand) advanced metrics? Absurd.

Thing is they never said they would use advance metric. But this might get the NCAA to move forward quicker in using advance metrics.

[ShockerFever]

Yeah we should consider ourselves lucky we're not playing TCU.

We would have if we didn't win St. Louis.
