By the way, Pablo called Michigan and Illinois a tie, so "he" got that one wrong.  |

And majority can't be correct about Missouri State and Wichita State.

And majority can't be correct about Missouri State and Wichita State. Tight first set with MSU taking it 26-24. |

Yes. Unfortunately, I suck this week. And I probably SHOULD have said "yes" to both Missouri State and Wichita State getting an at large vs AQ, because it looks like I picked the wrong one.  |

Some participants don't think it through enough -> and it is now detailed out in the heading "Will the following team receive an "at large" bid ( not to be confused with the "automatic qualifier" bid awarded to each conference champion)?, especially when some AQ's are known before the deadline. The good thing is that it will usually only happen to them the first time! |

Or they think a team might lose in their tournament. What's the safer pick? Creighton as an AQ or banking on them winning the tournament? Same deal with Wichita State.
If I'd known the tournament was in Springfield ...
