This is obviously a dumb discussion in the first place

Because nobody besides Gonzaga and SMC have ever one the WCC Tournament in the modern era. And I don’t think the WCC has ever had 4 bids.

BUT, every year there are 4-8 teams or so who are absolutely devastated because they didn’t get in. And there is a prominent theory that the committee favors power conferences.

POLL: Would you rather St Mary’s be the 3 or 4 seed?

BYU won’t beat SMC and Gonzaga in Vegas

BYU Fan

2/16/20 2:05pm

They could beat both, and a SMC win looks better than a win against USF. But I

USF isn’t very likely to finish 4th

BYU Fan

Same applies to any of those teams.

You could substitute any WCC team for SMC and that sentence would

Let Gonzaga play them in the semifinals, so 4th place

I personally think the odds of a better NCAA seed are greater if SMC is a 3 seed

BYUCLA

People forget about the NCAA committee bias.

If that happens, it wouldn't be BYU who gets left out.

Depends on the next 3 games. It might be both.

PJMort

2/16/20 2:27pm

Exactly. Results matter, not some arbitrary number of bids per conference.

byubyu

2/16/20 2:31pm

But- to the Committee the number from the WCC does matter.

Name a clearly deserving WCC team that has been left out of the tournament.....

byubyu

2/16/20 2:35pm

Not true. Clearly don’t understand the selection process. This isn’t football

Mr. Scoobs

2/16/20 3:22pm

WCC doesn’t even play football. Who doesn’t understand now?

PJMort

2/16/20 5:42pm

Selection criteria and process in b-ball postseason much different than how it

This is not how the determination works.

BYUCLA

2/16/20 2:25pm

Yeah- 4 teams from the WCC. Sure.

PJMort

2/16/20 2:30pm

Ehh could happen. Likely SMC is left out but their resume isn’t bad

chitownboy

2/16/20 5:42pm

Well- since nobody besides Gonzaga and SMC has ever won the WCC tournament.

PJMort

2/16/20 5:47pm

If the WCC has 4 deserving teams, 4 will get in. E.g. if Pacific beats SMC

Sorry, you must have been watching a different committee than I have.

SMC.

BYU won't be the one left out. Can't remember a time BYU was deserving and got

Broda

2/16/20 2:40pm

Wrong. A year after the committee said to bulk up your non conference schedule

byubyu

2/16/20 2:40pm

Sorry that was 2016. 2018 still didn't learn their lesson and played the 296th

byubyu

2/16/20 2:45pm

Nah this would be worse for SMC than us, we have a much stronger resume, We are

akmewg

2/16/20 5:03pm

We need 2 more wins at least IMO, maybe 3.

PJMort

2/16/20 7:01pm

If we beat SCU we don’t have to worry about more than 1

I would hate to end the season with 3 straight losses.

PJMort

2/16/20 8:54pm

We can lose @Pepperdine and still win a game or two in the WCC tourney

If a 4th team wins...
