Writers like to embellish for dramatic effect. That's what they do when they call WSU a national power.

If WSU is a national power then so is a quarter of the rest of the NCAA.

Your NCAA tournament record compares with: Stanford, Oregon, Georgia Tech, & West Virginia... none of whom are national powers. They're just above average programs that have had a couple years where they really did well.

So Google a quarter of the NCAA and see if the term National Power is attached to all their names in articles...

I don't need to. The quarter of the NCAA who have similar histories and records to you don't get mentioned as national powers... meaning you shouldn't be labeled as such either.

Do you consider Oregon basketball a "national power"? You shouldn't.

But we are. Perhaps there's more to this National Power branding than merely W/L records alone.

I'm sorry you are confused and/or hurt about the issue. Maybe we should just call a spade a spade - or a National Power a National Power agreed?

You don't think there's a national conspiracy aimed at helping WSU do you?
