Happily cheered for KState in that game.

Hopefully they just punched their ticket to the big dance too.

I will say this: if Elmarko is only as athletic as this year's tape, then I'm not sure his ceiling is even Elijah's best season.

Elmarko had a cool dunk and then sucked at everything else.

You know who else had cool dunks? Bryant Nash.

I think the teams fighting for 4 seeds are still active and with wins in their tournaments we gonna be a 5. Ouch.

If you think this is a gotcha for what I’ve been saying, then you have not comprehended what I’ve been saying.

One hint is that, much moreso than the dunk, his rebounding last night was very encouraging.

That not true. In the past few weeks he's shown some ability to defend and rebound physically from the guard position, and hit that little midrange number

As a freshman elmarko already played more and put up better numbers than nash did even as a junior or senior

Oh, I know.

I was iust teasing. Nash wasn't good. But I had a huge poster of him on my wall as a kid because I liked him for some reason (his dunking).

hey, at least a 5 12 upset is a common trope and won't be talked about for years....right?

Yeah, that's why I didn't buy Parrish saying earlier this week that we won't drop below 4 because one loss would be one game of 32 (or whatever). The problem is that other teams in the 4-6 seed line competition will pick up multiple Q1 wins this week, and we won't.

Bracketology 5's:

BYU, San Diego State, Nevada, South Carolina

6's:

St Mary's, Clemson, Wisconsin, Washington St

First off, that's too low for St Mary's who just won their tournament...but I don't think they jump to a 4.
Clemson got bounced so they ain't going anywhere.
Wisconsin only has 4 quad 1 wins to our 7. I think if they made the finals of the B10 tourney they could jump us..They are 22nd to our 18th in NET.
Washington State is too low in NET. They ain't jumping.

Now the 5's.
BYU could honestly already be argued to be ahead of us. They beat us. They rank higher than we do in NET. They are just 1 quad win short. If they beat Tech today, they should be a 4 ahead of us.
San Diego State is just 1 spot behind us in NET. They only have 4 quad 1 wins. I think they'd need to win the Mountain West tourney.
Nevada is even further down NET but they have 6 quad 1 wins. I think they'd jump us if they win the Mountain West tourney.
South Carolina seems overseeded here with only 4 quad wins and being 50th in NET - but I guess they only have 6 losses. I think they'd have to at least win 2 in the SEC tournament to be in the discusion here.

Of the 4's there, I think we're the most vulnerable to drop...so I think it's kinda likely at least one of the above scenarios happens.

At this point, I only care because it would ruin one of the best remaining Bill facts.

If we want a 4 we likely need BYU to loose today, South Carolina to not get past Auburn and have neither of Nevada or San Diego State reach the Mountain West Finals.

I don't think it really matters if we are a 4 or 5. We are gonna play a decent team in the first round.

All about match ups and hitting some shots at this point

I don't care how low moral is right now. This team is still dangerous. And will be rested and hopefully healthy. Don't let us win one

It matters because a decent 12 could fall to that spot.
Do you want to play Indiana State/Princeton in the first game or Samford?*

*even Samford would scare me a bit.
Give me UC Irvine or Charleston.

We don't want a good shooting 3 point team in the first round, i'll tell you that.

I'm more worried about an athletic team.

Even if we get our guys back, we're talking one non-athlete and one good-when-healthy athlete, added to a team that is otherwise fairly unathletic across the board (exception being KJ, who certainly does not always play to it particularly on the glass).

Self normally has issues defending the 3.
This year it's the worst it's ever been since 2014.
Add to that fact is that we can't make 3's so if we fall into a hole, it's going to be tougher to climb out.

A team like Indiana State or Princeton would scare me more than a Texas A&M or Seton Hall.

Indiana State lost in their conference tourney. I don’t think they'll hold onto a spot.
