West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey is pursuing legal action against NCAA Tournament selection committee.
West Virginia governor taking legal action against NCAA Selection Committee over snub
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey is holding a press conference at 1 p.m. ET to announce he will be pursuing legal action against the NCAA selection committee for not placing the West Virginia men’s basketball team in the NCAA Tournament. In his announcement, Morrisey referred to the NCAA as the “National Corrupt Athletic Association.â€Â
You're spot on IMO. About the only way I see they could run into a serious late game challenge are injury bug or foul trouble but that is hugely dependent on the zebra crew(s) assigned. They're just too strong, deep and talented to not be the odds-on favorite right now.
How many chuckleheads had us in the Final Four last year? Or NC State?Lunardi has us losing in round 2 to St Mary's --
I'm seeing no one put us in the Final Four -- good or bad?

I do think St. Mary's is a tougher draw in the Round of 32 than many want to admit.
We should beat them for sure but it's not an insane pick or anything.
I did read a pretty good article on ESPN breaking down all the NCAAT teams and it has us with a Ceiling of making the Final Four.
The reason most talking heads are probably not picking us to get there is Duke.
I do think people will sleep on us though -- which isn't a bad thing
If memory serves, almost everyone had us losing to St Mary's in the second round last year. Grand Canyon upset them. Vandy is definitely capable of taking them out too.
Kinda funny that it was Bryce Drew standing in their way of us last time and now it's his old team.

Drew is a good mid-major coach. He stunk at Vandy though.
A Michigan State seeded any higher than 3 is always a Final 4 candidate in my books. 30 plus years of following college basketball. I don't ever doubt Izzo.
I'm glad another SEC team is there, but I have little confidence in a Rebel Run in the tournament. I just don't think they are built for the constantly changing nature of the Dance. Each game, it's something you have to adjust to. The better teams have to navigate those early games against relative unknown programs, then to advance to play better teams who they may have seen during the season.

My first bracket ended up with a Final Four of Auburn, Florida, Alabama, and Gonzaga. Then Bama v Florida, and I have Bama finding a way to beat them on the third try.
Yeah, I like this. The pressure is pretty much off us at this point, just like it was last season. As long as Grant gets a positive evaluation today, then I like us a lot in this spot.

Not that I disagree with his assessment and naming ... but filing a lawsuit is just stupid.
However, South Alabama might want to consider filing a lawsuit for the idiocy of their bid to NIT being revoked:
S. Alabama has NIT invite nixed: 'Unacceptable'
South Alabama had its invitation to the NIT rescinded after the Jaguars were informed they would be playing, a decision the coach called "unacceptable."

I think we must have amateurs running these things now.
The committee's reasoning on that was kinda sketch. They said it was because of the Tucker DeVries injury, but he hasn't played since December 6, so that's clearly not the reason. But still, filing a lawsuit is about as crazy as claiming a national championship because you got left out of the CFP.Not that I disagree with his assessment and naming ... but filing a lawsuit is just stupid.
