Tiebreaker Scenarios for PAC-12 tourney

[duhu]

Anyway, I apologize for misleading you guys. I assumed the PAC-12 tiebreakers were the same as the Big 10 and other conferences.

Nothing would shock me.

No **** ... he sure as hell doesn't seem to be aware how badly we got treated this week re coverage by ESPN and the Pac 12 network. Or he doesn't care. :huh:

That being said ... I still think he's doing a good job. He just needs to straighten out some media issues.

There was a lot of misinformation out there.

While I agree with CVille that by all rights we should be in and not have to sweat Selection Sunday other than seeding ... I share your misgivings, and they are well informed. I too remember 2011, when Lunardi had us in, and then when we were denied, Bilas, Vitale, and others whose opinions I respect (even from ESPN) said we got hosed.

However, besides the difference in RPI between that year and this one that CVille pointed out, we have also since then established ourselves with at least a respectable national reputation, first by winning the 2012 Pac 12 Tourney, then taking Arizona to the wire in the Chengate game (wherein most national figures also said we got hosed ... but we sure got some national pub because of it), and then wiping the floor with said Arizona (sorry Adam) on Valentine's Day last year. Before all that, I would dare to guess that there were several eastern "sportswriters"/pundits/assholes that weren't even sure we had a basketball program.

In short ... this ain't 2011 ... and if we do get denied (even if we lose against Wazzu/USC) it will be even a bigger travesty than what happened then.

Good points LB, completely agree we have come along way since 2011. At the time, I believed the win at Stanford sealed it for us, but you always have to see how the rest of the conference and bubble shakes out. That's all. Win vs. Wazzu/USC and we're in. I'm just not as confident on us picking up that win after watching the last few games, with the scoring droughts and displays of offensive ineptitude.

The only way we are left out is if we don't finish vs. Wazzu/USC, the other bubble teams make some runs and the committee puts more emphasis on recent success vs. full season (essentially us with and without Dinwiddie) aka college football syndrome - what have you done for me lately. Unlikely, but let's not even make it a question vs. Wazzu/USC.

There really isn't any difference between seeds #3 - #10.

 

[rolandftw]

I don't think I even want to know how they figure out tiebreakers.

 

[tante]

Really want another crack at Arizona.

Really want another crack at Arizona.

Two beat-downs weren't enough for you?
