Yeah, they could, and I wouldn't be shocked at all. If NM had just beat Wyoming in the first round it would be a guaranteed four with a SD St-NM final.

So is St Mary's really playing at home against Eastern Washington to impress the committee? Whose idea was that? Go on the road and you have a chance of catching their attention.

Oh my god, overtime.

please, nobody say I hope they play all night. I need some sleep.

That's a complete crock. I go to lots of Big Sky games and Eastern Washington was terrible. You have to finish top 6 out of 9 teams to qualify for the conference tourney and they couldn't even do that. Over 300 division 1 teams could win a home game against Eastern Washington. A home win against them should impress exactly noone.

Yeah, if Mills were a senior and they wanted one last home game then I'd get it but that wasn't the case. If you want to impress the committee then go visit some crappy Big Sky team on the road and blow them out instead of hosting them.

That's a steal, the only team more overrated than USC this year is UCLA.

Anyone know who these P10 announcers are? They were driving me nuts last night.

They had to find a team that had not met their limit of games played. They wanted to get mills some run with the team after coming back from his injury. They are not trying to impress anyone. They ended up being a game short so they scheduled this game last week. I don't see anything wrong with it. Why in the hell are you listening to the announcers, just mute the morons

I know their options were limited but if they weren't doing it to impress anyone they could have called in anyone for a scrimmage. They chose to make it an official game to get the committees attention so it makes no sense to play a crappy team at home, their RPI will probably drop from this game. A road win might help it.

And I'm listening to these awful announcers cause the only place I can see the P10 tourney is on MSG+ which isn't in HD so if I'm going to know who the hell these crappy west coast players are I need to hear the announcers. Even in HD I'd need help with USC since they have no names on their jerseys.

Shocker, the terrible announcer just admitted he's a Louisiana boy.
