Please make it make sense

Changes going up take a long time in these models. However, put a stinker on the record like the dub loss and you drop like a rock.

We are a Tournament team. It’s just whether we have the bodies to not wear down too much the next 2 months.
 
KenPom has three teams that WSU beat rated higher: Nevada, BSU, and USF. Bart Torvick's site has WSU higher than all three of those teams.

It really does not matter what Ken Pom, Bart's site, etc, say.

All that matters is what the official NCAA Basketball Rankings say, or will say.

And I am pretty sure that those OFFICIAL rankings will say that WSU is ranked higher then Bradley, Nevada, BSU, USF, Northern Colorado(10-5, a borderline Quad 1, Quad 2), with 5 Quad 1 wins, 1 Quad 2 win(Northern Iowa(9-6), and 13-3 record, 3-0 in conference, and about a top 60 Quad 1 score, ranking, and if not now, will have.

Also if the season ended right now, the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee, would choose WSU to goto NCAA tournament, as about, between a 5th seed, 6th seed, 7th seed, 8th seed, 9th seed at worst.

If the season ended now, and if WSU didn't goto to NCAA tournament, it would be the biggest BS SNUB, in history, if season ended now.

Kenpom has us at 70th? @3-0 in conference? With the team we just beat 10 pts higher at 60th?

NET Rankings have us 67, just behind USF (who is legit). 6 in the WCC in top 75 so there will be opportunities to move up including Gonzaga at the kennel this Saturday (tall task). St Mary’s could be a quad 1 at home and away at this point. The key is for the top half of the league to only best each other and no losses to bottom feeders.

That's just BS. How many Quad 1, top 65 NET rankings teams, programs, have 5 Quad 1 wins, 1,2 Quad 2 wins, like WSU has? And how many of those few programs have done that with 3,4,5 injuries like WSU?
And how many programs are 13-3, 3-0 in conference, with 5 Quad 1 wins, 1,2 Quad 2 wins? Hell not even Gonzaga, as they are 9-4, with 3,4,5,6 Quad 1 wins, and 1,2,3,4 Quad 2 wins.

Not very many. Some Major League BS, SNUBBING going on.

If go by the number of Quad 1 wins(5), Quad 2 wins(1,2), 13-3, 3-0 record, that's a top 39, Quad 1, NCAA Tournament Bid, 5th seed to 9th seed record.

Mik, is this kind of what you are saying?

"WSU, with 5 Quad 1 wins and a 13-3 record, gets snubbed despite injuries. Compare to Gonzaga's record. It's Major League BS."
 
I don’t understand or agree with being lower than BSU or Nevada.
However to set the record straight we currently have 1 quad one win!
