21 wins, 4 to go, First place in PAC-12
A lot of work ahead for sure but it seems to me, this 23-24 team is entering G.O.A.T status as far as WSU MBB history is concerned.
Your thoughts?
They aren't there yet. They are currently equal to some of the better, best past WSU teams.
Some would not say even that, because they say there is a technical, theoretical chance that WSU could still goto NIT.
But in order for WSU to goto NIT, WSU would have to go 0-4, 1-3, their last 4 games, as 3-1, 2-2, 4-0, etc, during last 4 games, gets WSU into top 3 in conference and thus into NCAA tourny
And WSU is not going to go 0-4, 1-3, their last 4 games.
So WSU is basically playing for SEEDING.
So because of that WSU is equal to the better, best WSU teams.
But they aren't technically in GOAT land, conversation yet.
To be in the GOAT discussion, WSU has to go either 4-0, 3-1, in last 4 games, then win 1,2 PAC 12 tourny games, get a #3,4,5,6 seed, then goto ELITE 8 in NCAA tourny.
IF WSU does that, then this WSU team will be GOAT.
