Never a friend to the Tulsa's or the Wichita State's, he has Wichita State out of the tournament even though they are ranked # 21 in the polls and have a 28-4 record and 17-1 in the conference. He is nuts. He is probably still mad that Tulsa got in last year.
Giving up on Jerry Palm
- Thread starter I.I.
- Start date
Not only that but Illinois State is something like 25-5 right now and most bracketokogy folks have the Valley getting 2 teams in.
Both WSU and ISU are tourney worthy teams --- likely playing on Saturday or Sunday the first week. Outside shot of a sweet 16 with the right matchups.
Wichita State would be a team I would pay to see in Tulsa next week.
Out of town Friday but might go Sunday to see them or an AAC squad. Not interested otherwise.

Kansas as a #1 seed might draw just a few extra fans for the weekend
Who wants to play a Greg Marshall team in March?
Anyone?
They could be the most ridiculously low 9 or 10 seed to face a 1 or a 2 Saturday or Sunday...

Hope to see them here as a 7, 8, or 9, or 10...but I don't think they would put them up against Kansas again as an 8-9. Maybe a 7-10 against a # 2 Baylor.
I'll predict #1 Kansas and #2 Baylor also expect to see Arkansas, Wichita State and maybe Creighton. Oklahoma State would be a huge surprise I dont think they will be so lucky.
By contrast Duke and No Carolina play their first round games in near home cities like Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh and now this year just across the state line in Greenville, South Carolina.
I suspect because of their #1-#4 seeds every year they get home field but it sure seems the NCAA caters to their needs.
GO TU!!!!

Conference opponents cannot play in a game prior to the Elite Eight. If you get a pod with KU at a #1 seed and a pod with Baylor as a 2-seed, OSU has to go elsewhere. I would love to see Cincinnati as the 7 or the 8 here though.
BUMP!!!
Yep... Greg gets it...
Following his team's 64-58 win over Dayton on Friday, Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall criticized the NCAA tournament selection committee -- again -- for slotting Dayton as a 7-seed against the Shockers, a team many believe deserved better than a 10-seed.
"And I would like to finish by saying that, once again, I think Dayton deserved a better draw in this tournament," said Marshall, whose team will advance to face the winner of Kentucky's matchup against Northern Kentucky. "I'll finish with that."
