BB 2016: Hosting or Not?

If they don't wet the bed this weekend against USC, you could certainly be right.. long shot, but maybe..

If it's a long shot, then who do you have hosting out west? Only 4 teams out west have RPIs in the top 40 currently; Arizona, Arizona St., Gonzaga, and UCSB. UCSB didn't bid. Gonzaga is distant from any other school that may make the tourney outside of Washington and who knows if they bid. It would come down to Arizona or Arizona St; and Arizona is 2 hours further from the coastal teams like the potential WCC champ or UCSB, CSF, or LBS.

I don't think Gonzaga is a realistic option. I was actually thinking Washington, but you're right, they don't have a better case than Arizona St.

SEC Tourney live on ESPN-SEC. LSU v. TN 0-4, top 6. TN leading and LSU looking dazed and confused.

I don't think Gonzaga is either. They're somewhat remote, location-wise. Not to mention they don't have a very large park. It's newer, but unsure if it's up to hosting standards. And who knows if they submitted a bid.

I just think Arizona State is looking that the shiniest turd out west.
