Guys, I just don't trust a selection committee picking WSU with their best potential non-con win being a Tulsa. That won't do it.
Going 16-2 in the Valley would be awesome. But how realistic is that? Even with a down Valley, that is still a gauntlet. And that is the problem. The margin of error is so thin. That's why the UConn game and the SDSU games are so meaningful.
There are lots of teams in Valley-like conferences (or close to it) that go 16-2, 15-3, have no marquee wins and are left in the NIT. We may have an NCAA-type team, but we have limited chances to prove it. And right now, we're 0 for 1.
