Yeah, a late season road win against a 1-seed is a resume finisher as long as there a no "tumbles". Even a competitive or "good loss" would help. Great job of getting in position. We will see how they finish.
There is not likely to be a tumble unless injuries, etc, as a 20+ win team with 5 games to go + PAC tourny, that 6,7,8 HIGH QUALITY WINS, and has won 10+ games out of 11 games, etc, USUALLY does not stumble, tumble.
WSU will likely either go 4-1, 3-2.
5-0 isn't likely, and 2-3, 1-4, 0-5 is extremely BLOODY DAMN UNLIKELY.
It's VERY LIKELY that WSU goes 4-1,3-2, wins at least 1 PAC tourny game.
WSU might lose to EITHER ASU or UCLA or UW, in addition to semi probably losing to Arizona on road.
As long as WSU does not lose to 10-16 USC in Pullman, WSU should be fine.
And wSU will probably not lose to USC,
