And we should be happy Gonzaga stuck with us and the WCC this past summer.

This is exactly right. WCC isn't the problem.

Yes. That post is also a year old.

The WCC benefits quite a bit from BYU. Not like they did it out of charity.

I wouldn’t doubt they’re a little disappointed with our BB contribution, tbh.

TayPower

That's the take away from my post? Of course they didn't do it out of charity.

The WCC didn't just invite BYU out of the goodness of their hearts.

It's math. It's a better league. The WCC is the 8th best league this season, and

The WCC is a 1 bid league right now....

2/25/19 3:16pm

The MWC was a 1-bid league in 2016 and 2017. The last time the WCC was a one bid

Gentleman Stan

The WCC was a 1-bid league last year, and will be again this year...

SMC is in the First 4 out, with possibly 4 Quadrant 1 games left. How can you

Gentleman Stan

2/25/19 3:38pm

All I measure is total NCAA tourney bids, like you posted above with the MWC.

Richbyu

2/25/19 3:49pm

That's the final metric, along with NCAA Tournament wins.

Gentleman Stan

2/25/19 4:03pm

4 bids this year? What in the world?

UNHuskerCoug

2/26/19 12:52am

8th best conference? Come on Stanley! It’s a perennial 1 bid league.

Also, spare me the dumb tactic of calling anyone who doesn't praise the WCC

It plays a part in the drop off

jes2332

2/25/19 2:01pm

A reasonable argument. Still no point in slamming the WCC.

Some of the criticism i believe is accurate

So many bizzare excuses about why it's the WCC's fault that BYU isn't winning.

We were Gonzaga in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Recruited internationally, beat

I have to disagree. The style of play coupled with bad losses to low RPI teams

You do realize that the WCC is significantly stronger than the MWC

Gentleman Stan

2/25/19 3:26pm

WCC has been good to BYU, better than MWC would have remained.

Coogar2

2/25/19 6:17pm

My beef is that the top is too good and that the bottom has largely been bad.

buckeyecougarguy

this is a really good take

ColonelMustard

"Makes us look small"...as in the small WCC?
