Is the difference between #3 vs #4 that big? Pepp= #111, SMC= #78 kenpom
According to kenpom rankings SMC is actually rated HIGHER than Pepperdine.
I just think excuses are excuses.
Plenty of times the #2 seed has made the WCC final (and even won the tournament)

I’ve said it for a while, this format is bad for #2 seeds

Only problem is to have any chance to make tourney, gotta at least be a 2 seed going into Vegas

Which makes the setup even worse for a conference scrapping to get multiple bids

New idea. Teams get to pick their tournament seed in order of conference rank.

That would be really interesting, or highest seed gets to pick who they play fir

Nobody would turn down a triple bye.

Easy answer is BYU learns to play on Sunday. BYU was 1-1 vs Pepp with both

Or BYU could just cancel the BB program since that has a higher likelihood

I mean, that’s why it’s bad for the #2 seed

It’s bad form to ask and receive special accommodations, and then whine that

The tournament had a traditional quarterfinal for years with BYU as a member

What is the upside were BYU to lose in Quarters against a lower rated team?

BYU teams headed to the NCAA Tournament that have lost in the Conf quarters?

Average 5 Yr WCC RPI Ranking: Pre-BYU ('07-11)=14.5 With BYU ('17-21)=8.6

Not gonna happen.

Didn’t say it was, but that’s the crux of the complaint.

I hear what you are saying, but I'm not sure objectively that you can say

I agree with you in principle

It especially hurts BYU since we don't practice on Sunday.

No. But the difference between Gonzaga & everyone else makes that argument moot.

Except USF in a quarterfinal game, right?

Bring it. I don't think Few or any Zags are afraid of a loss.
flyzag
3/9/21 10:19am
Zero reason to be. Feel if BYU were to ever get close, Zags would just turn it up notch & coast. Never a threat.

BYU's experience the last 2 years is that the format doesn't benefit the #2 seed
CaliWG
3/9/21 10:30am
It didn't seem to bother SMC in 2019 (they won as a 2 seed).

2 years data of losing in semis to another NCAA tournament worthy team in year
