One free throw!

Post by 3goggles »

What a difference that missed free throw against Oregon did for this team. Make and you are probably a 5 maybe 4 seed and don't get an 11 seed who is really 6 seed

WSU being a play in team was a joke from the beginning. I really wish the committee was filled with people who had a clue.

Story of the season. Just never had enough. Close, but not enough. Enough heart, enough points, enough effort, enough composure, everything...

Props for even winning 25 games.

Probably avoid a first round lose but in the day you are right!

Maybe but the committee pretty much admitted that conference tournaments didn't change seedings. Or they did for some teams and didn't for other teams. Just a bad selection overall. Been in a bad mood since Sunday.

The fact that 12s are beating 5s at a 44% clip now shows the committee doesn't know how to seed shit.

Just use KenPom for God's sake...

That team is a 4 seed at worst. Their defense is incredible.

Committe should've more heavily factored in VanVleet missing games. No way this team is an 11 fully healthy with their PG running the show and playing great D.

Not that it fuckin matters for us really.

We could have possibly lost to a 16 seed tonight for all it matters.

This plays out like every other game. Embarrassed at Utah first half. Embarrassed at Rado first half, embarrassed second half vs Rado in Vegas, embarrassed in first half vs Oregon in Vegas. First half in SC. First half in UCLA. First half in McKale vs UCLA. Gonzaga in Spokane. And on and on. Difference is though, we ran into a great defensive team that could keep up the intensity, get some stops when needed to stop the blood from pouring out, and keep it a ten point win rather than a single possession win or in the rare case, a loss
