Yes GCU would love to beat NMSU on their way to the Indiana bubble but I wouldn't discount winning the WAC for anyone just because NMSU has be struggling on figuring out how to live covid free. NMSU has 1 D1 game under their belt and we will be in our 2nd week of January before they possibly can get to their 2nd D1 game... Again I won't fault anyone who wins the WAC if it isn't NMSU, mainly b/c the other WAC schools have done a better job at keeping Covid at bay. I want NMSU along with the rest of the WAC to be safe and healthy while hooping but NMSU seems to be struggling for whatever the reason but I hope they figure it out soon or they won't have enough games to qualify to postseason.
Its pretty hard to get lower than a 15 though. There's some really bad conferences that have a near monopoly on a couple 16 seeds and add in the occasional team with a .500 record that happens to win their tourney. Or even teams from a middling conference that wasnt won by the conferences best team.

RE: WAC Play Begins This Week!
Going to pretend it's a normal season and put out the usual uninformed predictions:
CBU @ UVU - split Friday/Saturday.
GCU @ Tarleton - both games to GCU, by a total of 20 points.

Only half time and can see I was way off. Tarleton tied and looking really good on their home court. UVU overwhelming CBU.
Looks like the conference title is wide open this time.
Edit: Scuffle UVU vs CBU, looks like mutliple players. Hope it doesn't end the game, after everyone got past COVID to get there.

RE: WAC Play Begins This Week!
Man, rental car nightmare, traffic and I finally made it to the game. I haven’t seen Tarleton play before so I’m not sure if they’re playing good, bad or average but gcu is playing horrible. A lot of dumb decisions and missed layups.

I was listening to GCU game before I got drawn into Boise/Air Force. Sounded like an ok game.
Surprised that players from either CBU or UVU would be that undisciplined.

Are they normally a 3 pt team? Seems like you would just feed the 7 foot Midgard down low

McLothan (sp?) with the great pass. GCU looking ok. But then Tarleton gets it to 4 again...
Off topic, New Mexico with the whopping 10 points at almost halftime versus Utah State lol.

Congratulations on the win, and also on making it to a real game. I haven't been to one since before Christmas 2019.

Just busting your chops. Point is, it could be argued that both teams could/should have played better tonight. Bottom line is GCU, a +100 Net ranked team, got pulled into a dogfight by a much, much smaller and inexperienced team. The rest of the WAC should take notice. Tarleton has been doing this for decades.
I recommend R&R BBQ for lunch tomorrow.
