Selection Committee Games of Interest

It is a tough one.  With Nevada losing we may need to take the gamble that Oregon loses tomorrow and they don't take USC.   The more shots we have to have a bid open up, we probably need to pull for at this point.  Arizona has a large contingent of fans there, so they will have the edge that way.  Oregon will be playing an extra game.  This also assumes Oregon not in with a win tonight.  What we do know is that USC probably is in for sure with a win tonight.  We probably have to root for them to lose with that being the case.  In addition, an Oregon win eliminates a UCLA Q1 home win potentially over USC.

During the Oregon/USC broadcast: "Howie says USC will still be in the tournament even if they lose this game. They are currently a 10 seed, but if they lose this game they will be in the play-in game as a 12 seed."

You know, if you go by the own different conferences tv broadcasts, there’s like 200 teams that should be in on Sunday. 

 

Just dont ask BTN. No room for 201.

What stings about Nevada is that they have an RPI of 12, SOR of 33, and BPI of 28. Great numbers.

 

However, they are:

Q1: 2-2 (Wins: vs. URI, at BSU)

Q2: 5-3 (Wins: vs. BSU, at Fresno St, at UC Irvine, at UNLV, at UNLV)

Then 2 Q3 losses (vs. UNLV, neut. San Francisco).

 

None of those teams will be in the tournament. Maybe Nevada doesn't end up getting selected?

 

One can hope.

That really looks bad for us. It shouldn't but it does. There's too much hype associated with too many of those entries for us to overcome. Sigh. What a bittersweet season this will end up as.
