This Indiana State team that is playing Wichita right now in the MVC final would finish well below Texas Tech in the B12.

I think it's based on everyone knows going in what Self is going to do...if someone else steps up and surprises based on expectations they win the award.

I think it's more jealousy than anything else. They're tired of the domination and their only payback is post season award votes.

I understand the idea of giving it to a coach of a team that over preformed, or even just anyone other than Self, but Barnes would maybe be the fourth coach I would give it to.

Yep, 25 spots below Texas Tech actually in KenPom. Shocking competition.

Figured you guys might like this, since you've already offered him (god I hope he ends up at Arkansas, but I kind of doubt he does). 10th grader, Malik Monk.

KenPom is sometimes out of wack though. It says WSU would be #1 in the Big 12. But how the F would they know that? They'd have to play the teams we played. Not totally accurate. I know KenPom is based on pace, tempo yada yada, and it doesn't necessarily mean they'd be the best team but I bet that throws people off

WSU destroys the bad teams they play. And that's mostly because, to their credit, they play hard every game. That's why they're above KU in KP.

The eye test is the best. This isn't a discredit to WSU but the 2-4 seeds are gonna be beasts. If they can beat a UNC, a SDSU, Michigan and other teams I can't think of right now that they'd likely be facing in the S16, then kudos to them. I've seen all of them and I'd be surprised if they'd get past that round.

Who here would want to play an underseeded tOSU or Michigan State? Not me. The big dance is gonna be nuts. A lot of good teams.
