Wyoming has the greatest home-court advantage in CBB because of their elevation. Their best win away from home this year was @ Utah State, a 4-seed in the NIT. They're in the tournament because of close home wins over Colorado State and Boise State.

Had we fallen to Dayton, I now feel good about whether we would have beaten these teams.
Oklahoma players are watching this **** show of a game and saying “what the ****”.
OU could win the NIT with how they played tonight. Conflicted about whether I should root for them as they're still in our league for at least another year, maybe 3.
Eh I love ISU's team but they've had trends of truly bad basketball.
Wyoming only lost 8 games, but 3 of their losses are worse than anything we have, and they only had 4 Q1 wins. You'd have to say their resume was deserving in comparison to others like Notre Dame, but there's a reason they're only #58 in KenPom.
Sure, but I don't think we've played against as lax of defense since Mizzou - maybe OU at home.

Yeah, I was just looking at their schedule. They went 5-4 on the road in the MWC which is decent.
Their resume looks pretty sketchy, I agree, those 2 wins got them into the tourney.
A&M 4-10 in Q1 games, 2 of those came over the weekend. Wyoming is 4-5 in Q1, A&M had plenty of chances all year and blew it.
I love the First Four!
I've been many times and always had a great time.
The SWAC Teams NEVER lose the Battle of the Bands!

They're very inconsistent in the message they send - sometimes it's a top mid-major that only has 1-2 but in this case, Wyoming is in because of their 4 wins which was as many as anyone else being looked at for the last spots.
