I suspect we're in win or lose tonight.

That said I have never been a fan of leaving one's fate up to others. Besides, I'm tired of it being Gonzaga or SMC. Time to asert ourselves a bit more.

I could be wrong, I am not denying that. I get a little tired of bib's condescending attitude at times. My opinion is simply because I am not comfortable with BYU always being "last 4 in" since in my experience BYU is always way lower than projected.

Totally agree. We are still on the bubble. My guess is if we lose tonight and make it to the tourney it will be as a play-in, which I don't want. Win tonight and not only are we in but they can't give us a play-on game.

There is someone. It is Winder and he is getting BURNED. I have been telling all you "Winder is a beast defensively" people that Winder is a step slow defensively. Most guards don't have a problem getting by him, which is why he always tries to slap the ball out from behind them as they pass every time.

I know you are kind of being TIC here but in all seriousness, I don't think it does. We still remain in the "last 4 in the NIT, in most people's prediction brackets which IMO means we are out. BYU needs to win the WCC to get in IMO. We just need tonight's win and we are in. If we lose, I predict NIT.
Really. ESPN announcers said we were likely to survive the bubble even if we lost last night. Anything is possible, but BYU is most likely in. Personally, I would rather win a couple of home games in NIT if MC were available. But it is not.

Well since announcers are on the selection committee they can't be wrong can they? :whistle:
It is quite possible that ESPY staff researchers did homework.

Anae just might be the guy. Wisconsin DC says Anae is totally unpredictable because he just runs a bunch of plays with no rhyme or reason. Whooped Butt on Houston DC for 3 of 4 quarters. Destroyed Texas DC and HC careers.

totally agree that BYU gets shafted on seeding almost every time. I do not recall them getting shafted about getting in or not getting in. I have not read an expert opinion saying we are out if we lose tonight. If we get blown out - sure. But then we would deserve to be out.

And if we get NIT or a play in game - maybe we get a win or 2.

ESPN wants us in due to our offense and entertaining style of play. We are in the tourney. http://www.bracketmatrix.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has us on 83/96 brackets before we won the game.

That spirited rally after KC went down prevented a blowout loss that would have required serious effort to overlook.

I am sick thinking about that injury - not sure how BYU recovers quickly. Surprisingly, the rally helped take my mind off of seeing KC writhing in pain in the floor.
