Post-Season for the Big West

    On the broadcast of the Aggie's game against UC San Diego, the commentators made a point of the Big West not having had two teams in the NCAA tournament since 2005 when both Pacific and Utah State made it. This year, with both UC Irvine and UC San Diego having great teams, the odds would seem favorable for the Big West to get two bids once again. Here's a thought: If the Aggies could pull off a major upset and win the Big West, would the Big West get three teams into the Big Dance? This discussion should be about the Aggies prospects for the Big West Tournament, but also conferneces outlook for the NCAAs.

    I would think it depends on who wins the BWC tour. Today, the NET rankings show UCSD at something like 43 along with some heavyweights, snd Irvine at 66 with borderline teams like USF. The strength of the BWC won’t do much for their rankings the rest of the season even if they both run the table. So, if someone other than UCSD wins the conference tournament, I think you’ll see 2 with the
    tritons getting a pretty good seed. UCSD wins it? Gets a little dicey for Irvine. I’m not familiar enough with UCI’s body of work, but a quick glance doesn’t show any high level wins that would push them. Seems like, from a quick google, mid 60 NET is the cutoff, and those last schools in tend to be from power conferences .
