I guess we shouldn't be surprised on the seeding WSU gets anymore. That said, I would be shocked if Wichita State doesn't hammer Dayton and get a chance to play Kentucky again.

Well another screw job by NCAA/CBS selection committee. Say what u want about Palm but he nailed WSU's seed perfectly for about the 4th str8 year. He isn't that smart so no doubt he is being fed the info.....If WSU loses last Sunday they are out, that's the bigger picture and it's not right...10 seed doesn't bother me as much as knowing the Shox stay home without their win St Louis. So in theory, if the Cleve Cavs with Labron were in the MVC and lost a few early season games and only beat a couple top 50 teams along the way, finished 30-4 but lost in the MVC tourney, based on todays NCAA selection criteria they would be NIT bound. Not saying the Shox are as good as an NBA team but it's a sad day when the talent on the floor is no longer a criteria for non P5 schools getting in....losses don't matter to P5 schools like Vandy...... A day like today is what could drive HCGM out of Wichita sooner rather than later....

Yeah, that Shockers seed was truly astonishing. If it is any consolation, it seems like pretty much all of the people who cover basketball closely thought it was an egregious mistake.

If Jerry Palm is right, then the terrorists have won.

Yes. None of WSU's players have experienced the NCAA tournament.

An interesting thing to think about.

The committee described their scrubbing process. After their initial ranking of teams, they like to review the rankings by comparing two teams directly. If they deem a swap is necessary, they'll make it. If not, they leave the team where it is.

Wichita ended up at #38 on the S-Curve released by the committee. #37 was Oklahoma St. And for good measure, #35 was Michigan St.

What likely happened: the committee initially voted Wichita St as a 10 seed, somewhere around #40 overall, recognized it was really stupid. They started the scrubbing process...and stopped at Oklahoma St because of head to head, ignoring all analytics and other resume factors. Hence, Wichita stays buried on the 10 line even though they compared favorably to teams ahead of them. All because they messed up the initial vote then got trapped by H2H.
