Huge difference in SOS is the difference. You guys really need to drop the "BCS slant" thing. Makes you look bad. WSU is bigger than that.

Easy to say when you play in a conference where 8-8 gets you in, hell sometimes 7-9. Also easy to say when you don't have to worry about schedule because it's built in.

Bad move scheduling a few of the teams the shox did. Some of it however is bad luck, CBE turned into crap, Texas Tech blows bawls, a couple of key losses that shouldn't have happened.

See you don't understand, kstate doesn't have to be perfect to get in. So really you shouldn't comment on it.

Don't get me wrong WSU did it to themselves and they shouldn't get in this year. However playing in a league like the valley just sucks cause it's a good enough league that ur not going to go perfect but a bad enough league that you can't screw up and have at large hopes.

So change conferences.

We can't. When KSU was the only football team WSU could beat, our football program committed suicide.

Here is a list of regular season champions and tournament champions that get the auto bids. UTEP, Kent State, Utah State and California need to win their tournaments to keep our 1% chance alive.

Anyone else feel the MVC should switch its tourney dates to THIS week?, WSU was last week and thats why theres no pub on them.

WSU will be in the NIT--let it die.

I was watching the Sunday night sports show in St. Louis and they addressed the issue of changing the dates. The Associate Commissioner of the Valley said the national TV coverage would not be there since all of the BCS schools have there tourneys the same time.

CUSA, WAC, and MidAm are all just getting started. How much is the benefit of the one game on CBS as opposed to all games on ESPN?

[RoyalShock]

We also had NCAA BB front-page coverage on ESPN.com. Move our tournament to this week and that doesn't happen. Not only that, you know the selection committee members won't be watching either. They'll be paying attention to all the power-conference tournaments.

Tech only down 1 to KU, early! ;)

[Shoxfan11]

Now 6, plus a tech on Knight...

[WuDrWu]

Tech has no chance because they think they can play an up tempo game with Kansas....they cannot.

And they play about 1/10 the defense KU does. If Tech would at least show some patience, they might be able to get deep in the game and then who knows?

Btw, it is disgusting the amount of time KU's post players spend in the lane. Watch the secondary break sometime......unreal.


28-25 Hawks under 4 to.

No goaltend?!

Although Texas Tech's big guy (can't remember his name, or probably even spell it) needs to stop whining after everything.

[WuDrWu]

Yep, that was a flippin brutal...especially in the college game where they are quick to call tending...that was egregious.

Tech needs to be careful not to let this get away from them before half.....

[WuDrWu]

Big putback to keep it close before halftime.

Down 2....could have been better (or worse). TT has to play smarter to have a chance...and get blatant goaltending calls.

[WuDrWu]

If you're feeling exceedingly childish........

Btw, 2 minutes into the 2nd half and Tech is done.
