Everyone take a shot

A Mountain West team is eliminated.

If we take away San Diego State's magical run and 5-1 record in the 2023 tournament, the league is now 4-19 since 2019. The 4 wins came last year:

Colorado State beat Virginia in the 1st Four

5 seed San Diego Dtate 12 seed UAB and 13 seed Yale

8 seed Utah St Beat 9 seed TCU which shouldn't even count because Jamie can't beat a team with a better seed.

It's just those 4 wins plus the SDSU 2023 run since 2019. And they got another 4 in this year, 36.3 % of their league while the ACC only got 22.2% in.

Man that context you added is nuts. Two of their wins came against a Virginia team that the world knew shouldn’t have been there, and against Jamie Dixon who has essentially never beaten a higher seed in his 20+ years of coaching?

There was a website I saw a few years ago which listed a performance vs seed line metric. Dixon was the worst of all time. Literally the worst. Out of maybe like 1000 NCAAT coaches. Tony Bennett was one of the 3-5 worst. This was before he won the natty though and I've never been able to locate the site again so not sure what it looks like now. So those 4 wins they have are against 2 of the worst NCAAT coaches ever and then UAB and Yale juggernauts.

Mountain West now 0-2 this year. Maybe Ethan Morton can get the MWC a win today. I had no clue he played for Colorado State but I was listening to one of the shows and they singled him out as one of the best defenders in the country. He's only averaging 2 PPG though. He ans Jeffress would have made a heck of defensive backcourt. We could have won games 20-18.
