Where does Wyoming end up?
The streak of losses to end the season along with the east coast bias in college basketball gives me a bad feeling of ending up in the NIT.

If we would have played better tonight I think the playin game at worst was a lock.
They decided to not show up and although the score ended up somewhat close the game was a blowout.
Don’t know what will happen. Think they deserve the NIT more than the NCAA to be honest. Think if they somehow get in the NCAA they will get embarrassed. Would love to see them prove me wrong though.

Before last night's game we were still projected as high as a 10 seed and as a Iast-4-in at the lowest. Those are NOT based on the pending outcome, but on if the season was over prior to it. Odds are, we are headed east.

I don’t know how this is really much of a question to be honest. The last 4-in is a huge opportunity as the entire country will be following so that they can make their final bracket picks. The NIT gets pretty much no publicity and the the first 2 games (if at home) would be while students are on spring break.
To me - This is like asking would we rather go to the Potato Bowl to face Western Michigan and have a better chance of winning or becoming the G5 representative to the New Year’s Eve Bowls to face a more traditional powerhouse where we will have many more eyes but a lesser chance of winning.
I like Wyoming’s chances in a last 4-in scenario. The league spent most of the year trying to figure out how to gameplan around Ike. Good luck to any team trying to figure out in a couple days.
Edit - my response was to those discussing their view of the different tournaments. The original question asks where I believe we will end up. I believe that is in the NIT after a conference ‘upset’ that seems to happen every year at this time.

Those projections don’t really take into account ‘spoilers’ and unpredicted results such as Texas A&M knocking off Arkansas or Memphis/Tulane winning the AAC. This is why being in the last 4-in at this point is tenuous at best.

NCAA, maybe Ike can get his mojo back, and figure out how to handle the double team.
Ike seems to be just a half step too slow when the opposition figures out how to handle him.Itsux2beaewe wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 11:45 am NCAA, maybe Ike can get his mojo back, and figure out how to handle the double team.

Wyoming is 11-6 in quad 1 and 2 games. That is one of the very best records in the at large field for those quad games. Plus some of the other “bubble” teams had very very bad OOC SOS.
If Wyoming doesn’t get in the only thing they can use for an excuse is that Wyoming’s BPI from ESPN was 102 which means we shouldn’t even get in the NIT. Not sure what ESPN does with those but that is a complete joke.

I think Wyoming deserves to get in. I just think there are too many factors working against them to get in. Maybe the run into the rankings was enough exposure but other than that we're talking about a small school out west most people haven't heard of.seattlecowboy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 2:07 pmWyoming is 11-6 in quad 1 and 2 games.

BPI is trash but at this point I don't even feel the NET is useful considering Wake Forest is above UW with a weak ass schedule and basically one good win. I have very low expectations at this point.

Lunardi updated and has the Pokes out following Richmond win. I’m not surprised. I’ve been saying all along there will be upsets and this ‘lock’ stuff is far from it. Still hopeful but personally doubtful.

They don’t use NET for whether you get in or not. It is mainly used for seeding purposes.DVDA wrote: ↑Sun Mar 13, 2022 2:24 pmI think Wyoming deserves to get in.

I still think Wyoming gets and 11 seed or better. I wouldn’t listen to Joe Lunardi, Andy Katz, Mike Decourcy and all of the talking heads on the major networks. They aren’t very accurate with this and they like to create dram to get clicks.
