    The NCAA would dearly love for WBB to be a revenue sport, but outside of a select few programs (SDSU being one of them) it's not.
    HATE how he tries to get the last word in and makes sure everyone knows he is right even if he isn't. Do I think we got snubbed sure. That's my loyalty as a fan to feel so. As a media member, its probably the worst draw in terms of getting there but it could be an easy path to the sweet 16.But that's why we're the newcomers and why Tennessee gets a fifth seed. AJ prepared the girls to not get a "snub" draw coming in from talking with him.If the girls make it a constant where they start making it to the dance yearly and have tough schedules I might see the getting higher seeds despite having mediocre results. Look at the big ten, big 12, sec, and pac 10 for examples of that happening.Now I gotta get some sleep, headed out to Rapid to cover the State A boys basketball tourney tomorrow. Good luck Bison and good luck rabbits!

    Look, the previous poster made a generalization that was flat out incorrect.

    If there has been one consistent thing about how the NCAA has ran the WBB tournament it's been inconsistency. They've tried everything to get people to the games and to get the games on TV, but no soap.

    It's flat out incorrect to say that teams playing on the home court of worse seeds is historically 'usual' or common. It's not. There's NOTHING usual about the tournament format, except that the NCAA screws with it every few years.

    BTW Blue: Were you the one that trashed Julia Whitted over on the SDSU forum?
