Joe Lunardi still had us in at 13-13 earlier this week. Conference record means zero when it comes to the selection process. This new NET system would work in our favor as we'd be in the top 15 in Quad 1 wins if we win out the regular season. The committee thinks highly of the B1G this year. If we go 17-14, we're in. Book it. Not gonna happen but we have a chance.

Lunardi would be the 68th seeded bracketoligist if there was a 68 seeded bracket. All of us bracketoligist project the field as if the season ended today so having them 13-13 and in just means that have really good top ended wins. From studying team sheets this week if IU finished 17-14 I wouldn’t like their chances regardless of how many quad 1 wins they have.

The problem is that even with us winning out like that, we still went 8-12 in conference. Which the committee may not look at conference record, but at 8-12, they would look at it and say hell no.

If there was no conference tournament you are right they would say heck no but since there is a tournament if they went 8-12 and made the semi-finals or finals they would say heck yes depending on who they beat to get there

And that’s what makes pretty good teams able to close out games they probably should have lost. It’s cool to be mentally tough and well coached but when you get a defensive stop because the ref doesn’t call a mugging it helps. When you get extra free throws down the stretch when you weren’t touched, it helps. So mentally tough and well coached helps a lot when you call the fouls.

It’s garbage and the conference suffers for it.

It’s like this with every conference. I agree that it shouldn’t be like that. Just how it goes though

What...?

They may not (won’t) but they would look at it and say hell no. Makes perfect sense Joe.

Without Azubuike and Vick KU is in trouble. Without those guys they’re, what, the 4th best team in their conference?

They have actually been better without Vick. Azuibuike, however, was a big loss. A rim protector that they don't have now.

Yeah Kansas is getting destroyed

They have a had a disappointing season yet still are a #4 at this very moment in the tourney. What I would do to know we could have a bad year and still be a top 16 team.

How did BYU become so... meh?

They haven’t failed to win 20 games and haven’t finished worse than 3rd in conference since 2004. 

On pace to keep up the streak this year. 

Pretty decent stretch even for a mid-major.

And have been to the NIT 4 of 6 years in the WCC. An absolutely awful conference move. Most try and move up rather than down. They should have stayed in the MWC or moved to the PAC.

I think that stuff was all due to their football team becoming an Independent.  But I agree with you they should have stayed in the MWC or looked to the Pac-12.

I would argue the WCC featuring Gonzaga every year and St. Mary’s most years is better than the MWC that has Nevada the past two years and no consistent contenders outside of that.
