Which means that they’re likely going to move into the Top 30 of the NET rankings. Which makes that win by Utah over Washington State back in December a Quad 1 win.
Who would have thought WSU would be leading the conference with 4 games to go?
So the PAC 12 “Cooged it” in MBB this year?
Apparently they did. Regardless, Wazzu is now #28 in the NET, which currently gives Utah another Quad 1 win. That’s now 4 Q1 wins on Utah’s NCAA Tournament resume, which is what gets you at large berths. Utah still has two more opportunities for Q1 wins before the conference tournament (@ Colorado and @ Oregon). They currently sit at 4-6 in Q1 games and 4-2 in Q2 games. Unfortunately, our Utes are 3-2 in Q3 games, with both losses to ASU being Q3 losses. That’s what is dragging down their resume right now. Without those two losses, Utah would be like a 7 or 8 seed.
Or Washington State simply has their best team in over a decade this year
WSU’s coach is going to be able to pick and choose any open jobs come next month
