How Wichita State gets all this respect for a 1 seed, when they are undefeated just boggles my mind.
I mean Wichita State is 24-0 and is a good team, but their best wins @St. Louis, @Indiana State, Tennessee, @Alabama, DePaul/BYU neutral floor wins. This resume is NOT better than freaking San Diego State who is 20-1 in the decent MWC. MWC still has New Mexico, UNLV, Boise State, Utah State which are all solid teams that have made the NCAA Tournament as at-large teams. San Diego State was a 2 seed in 2011 tournament, and while Wichita State made the Final Four last year and played Louisville tough that isn't enough for them to get a 1 seed. San Diego State has 1 loss to #2 Arizona and if losing to Arizona is the only reason Wichita State is above San Diego State then scheduling is a joke. Wichita State's resume is not even worthy of being in the discussion for a 1 seed. If Wichita State ends up on the 1 line I NEVER want to hear the committee say who did you play because it will be BS. I bet Wichita State wishes they could get better teams home/home, but they should have played neutral site games and got better teams. I am sure Kansas would have played them instead of New Mexico in Kansas City if the Shockers wouldn't expect a home game like the Lobos aren't expecting. Murray State in 2012 went 30-1 in the regular season/post season tournament and got a 6 seed. That Murray State team won @top 25 Memphis and won the Alaska Shootout and won at UAB and Southern Miss. However, they weren't even worthy of a 1 seed. Memphis = St. Louis and I don't think Alabama, Tennessee, DePaul, BYU should move them up to being in discussion for a 1 seed.
San Diego State has beaten Creighton, Marquette, Washington, @Kansas, and their conference rivals who are decent for a non-power 5 league. San Diego State if they are within 1 loss of Wichita State should be a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament.
