Yeah, almost any team (not counting SJSU, Fresno or La Tech) from the WAC would be a 14 seed except for maybe Nevada who could get a 13.

NMSU has a better resume for seed purposes than Nevada.

Re: NMSU destroys Hawaii, is hawaii beatable?

Hawaii might recover because they do have some good players, but last night, they looked like they were tired of traveling, tired or each other, and just had all kinds of bad body language.

I would be shocked if they beat LaTech, but they might be a dangerous 4 seed if they refocus.

I think another thing that has hurt Pane this year is the quality of the screens being set for him.

If that had been Pane they would have called an offensive foul 100% of the time. Reputation is everything in basketball, and the refs are human too.

I agree that is not a foul on Medlin. For it to be an O foul, Medlin would have to have established a legal defensive position (both feet on the ground) prior to the initiation of contact, and Burton would have had to gain an advantage as the result of the contact. Im not sure that both of those thi...

Re: The Hawaii game is huge...

I like USU to win, but Hawaii to cover. Matchup issues up front, probably a lot of offensive boards for Hawaii. It's unfortunate for USU that in a year where they are struggling with post depth, the top 3 teams in the conference are all excellent at rebounding.

I never said or implied that the game was never close.
