“Should be in” section has CSU and Boise St.

Wyoming is listed in the “Still Work to do” section along with San Diego St. and Utah St.

Wyoming

Meet the Providence of the Rockies. Much like the Friars, Wyoming has excelled in close games. Jeff Linder's team is tied with Boise State in the loss column atop the Mountain West standings after compiling a 6-1 record in conference games decided by single digits. You can watch a good deal of basketball and not see an offense so heavily focused on just two players: Graham Ike and Hunter Maldonado. Both carry possession usage figures over 30%, no teammate playing regular minutes tops 17% and, most importantly, the heavy focus works. So far this has been the best offense in the league, one that makes its 2s and absolutely lives at the free throw line. The Cowboys are appearing in mock brackets as a double-digit seed.

On what planet do those two get in before us? Do they have any really good road wins like us?

Everybody for the most has both of them getting in before us.

CSU beat St. Mary’s by 16 I think it was, which is #20 in NET
They also beat Mississippi St who is a bubble team and Creighton by 14 points who is a bubble team.
They beat Oral Roberts, a NCAA team last year and in 2nd place in their conference behind South Dakota St by 29 points.

Boise St is mainly because they went on the 14 game win streak more than anything and have the highest Kenpom rating in the MWC.

Wyomings biggest wins were the home games last week in conference. As long as Wyoming doesn’t crap the bed they should get in but Wyoming has less room for error than the other 2.

Tonight’s game is big as Utah St is a bubble team also.

wtf? On what planet would CSU get in over us? Asinine. Who cares if you win close games? Good teams win games. trash. This margin of victory stuff is complete garbage. Plus we have no bad losses. That doesn't seem to count for anything, apparently

Take care of what we need to then the results will come not what outsiders think, who cares what they think. We'll do us...nuff said

The sheep got a good early season win over Saint Mary's, while we got boat raced by Arizona. Two completely different levels of teams, but their NET rankings were close. We've been kicking ass and taking names since then, but a 29 point blowout will get a team written off for a long time.

I kinda like it this way. It’s more fun being a Cinderella. Rather be an 11+ seed than a 7-8. Remember how great it felt when they knocked out Gonzaga?
