Think twice before you read too much into WSU’s stunning loss to South Dakota State.
At 1:56 p.m. PT on Saturday, Baylor Scheierman’s teardrop 3-pointer fell cleanly through the net at the buzzer to doom Washington State to an unexpected loss to South Dakota State.
By 1:57 p.m., it had already started in earnest and — to be honest — I kinda forgot what it was like.
“It,” is this: After a decade-long hiatus, WSU fans once again are trying their hands at amateur bracketology. My Twitter timeline quickly was flooded with a mixture of panic and dread as Cougs everywhere tried to figure out what a loss to a team from the Summit League would do to the NCAA tournament chances of a school trying to make it back to the Big Dance for the first time since 2008.
