Only way we get in at this point is if we win the WCC tournament.

Wins vs St. Mary's and zags will go along way...It would help if the zags beat Memphis and we beat the zags at home..

Selection committee isn't particularly kind. Besides, given our losses there is no guarantee of an invite. Had we one or two of the top 25 teams we played then I'd feel better about our chances.

Only way to win the conference is to win out and hope for some Zags losses. Winning out would get us in the tournament. So winning out = winning conference= getting spot in dance. I just don't see it happening though, and I don't have much hope at all for a tournament championship. Maybe BYU turns into beast mode like they did in the NIT tourney last season... One can hope.

Today will determine if we can get an invite. The conference should be able to get 2 bids due to its rpi. GU is 1. The other is between SM and us. Their SOS is hurting them.

I'm afraid the only way the WCC to ENSURE 2 teams into the tournament is have someone knock the ZAgs out of the conference tournament. BYU and SMC have pretty weak resumes, likely won't win the conference regular season title, and will have to depend on the conf tournament to get in the dance.

Espn already has WCC with 2 bids so not so far fetched..The guy from Espn has like 90+ accuracy when it comes to his tourney feild and the real one...We just need to keep getting W's all it comes down to.

First and foremost we have to win.



If win out except for the conference championship, I'd say we have a shot.

I don't understand that Lunardi tweet.



???



Was he saying that SMC would be in with a win over BYU? Or the other way around? Was he saying that he would put the winner in his newest bracket? OR that the winner would most likely make the tournament?
C
ChiTownCOUG
He was saying the winner of the game would be in the feild of 64..So his new bracket iam sure BYU will be in his last 4 in..

I wouldn't say we have a weak resume; RPI 48, SOS 10-15. If we keep winning we still have an at large shot. Also would help for Stanford and Texas to keep winning as well.
