Surely you aren't this obtuse, are you?
Firstly, I'm not sure why you'd include this year when the season is only 2/3 of the way through.
Let's take the average from 2010-2016 and see what we get. The whole point of that was to say that WSU has been relevant enough to be considered for an at-large bid since about 2011. That's consistency. That's something WSU has proven. Illinois State has not.
Can we get Illinois State's numbers over the same time period? And then can we assume that Illinois State is going to 5 straight NCAA Tournaments, a Sweet 16, a Final Four, and have an undefeated season? K, thanks.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha......
YOU used the word perennial, not me. You do understand what that word means, no?
You include this season because you're currently playing it. It counts. Your RPI isn't top 30, like 6 of the other years I listed.
Now you want to go average, but you only want to use the years where you're good? Even though we can go back within 10 years to show when you weren't? And you don't want to use 2017 because it doesn't support your claim even though ITS REAL AND ITS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW???
This is the 2nd baseless claim you've made in a week that you've been called out on statistically and YOU CANT back it up. Championz math right there folks.
And what do you do when losing an argument? Move the target and attack someone else. Sorry bro, you put this bullseye on yourself and you're not talking yourself out of this one.
You say you want to come here and talk basketball but your erroneous claims make that impossible.
You chose the word bucko.... live with it.
