Won -- Oregon -7.5 at Washington. The Huskies took them to OT, but ...

Saint Mary's -19.5 vs Pepperdine.
The selection committee insists that every game is treated the same whether it is regular season or in a conference tournament. I don't believe it. I think the closer you get to Selection Sunday, the less they matter.
Once the start putting brackets together, they don't want to make wholesale changes. They have enough work with changes they have to make due to bidstealers.
OTOH, I think a really bad loss, like Wisconsin's loss to Penn State, can drop you a seed line. Saint Mary's losing to Pepperdine could drop them a seed line. I am not sure our winning or losing to Wisconsin will move the bar.
