I've been fairly complimentary of the committee in recent years — a few gripes here and there but nothing major. This year, though, wow. Some of these choices are just indefensible. I understand bid steals complicated the process but there are some egregious mistakes.

In three years as head coach, Chris Victor has led SU to a WAC regular season title, a CBI title, a 43-8 home record, and three consecutive seasons of at least 20 wins — something the program hadn’t done at the D1 level since the 1950s. Remarkable program turnaround.

Despite coming up short in the championship, San Diego State cemented its name on the sport's biggest stage after years in the shadows. "It's not fake here," Lamont Butler told @HeatCheckCBB . On SDSU's blue-collar approach to building a powerhouse:

San Diego State is in the spotlight now, but the Aztecs' blue-collar approach has often been overlooked as it toils in the shadows of power-conference programs.

That’s the biggest win in Mountain West history. San Diego State takes out the No. 1 overall seed in Alabama, holds Brandon Miller to 3-of-19 shooting, and advances to the first Elite Eight in conference history. Seattle U transfer Darrion Trammell leads all scorers with 21.

The San Diego State comeback was huge but this is the most impressed I’ve been by Colorado State this season. CSU’s defense down the stretch was huge, especially with a zone stalling Utah State’s possessions and Kendle Moore making some heads-up plays. Massive win.

There’s Nevada, an enormous gap, Utah State and probably Fresno State a few steps behind, another gigantic gap, and then the rest of the Mountain West. That’s all we know right now.
