He's not building up 3 days in STL. He was defending my "good" team stance that was attempted to be refuted (which is a no-win argument anyways).
We want to get an at large bid just like you without relying on Arch Madness. The thread from Valley Game 4 with your back and forth arguments about this defends that end-game. If he didn't care about the at large, then that argument never happens.
You have to admit, it wasn't the best rationale to say that showing up on Sunday in St. Louis equates to "good". The whole body of work should be looked at, not 2 or 3 random games that ultimately end with a CIT appearance or no postseason at all.
By your rationale, Illinois State had a terrible year last year based on their one and done in St. Louis. Conversely, WSU had a subpar year last year because they lost on Saturday.
