Agree - that felt wrong

In the end, the "blue bloods" seem to get any advantage they need to justify why straying from the RPI is needed. In the end, the committee made that decision. Did they get it wrong? Performance at regionals says no. To prove them wrong, we have to get great at winning no matter where they put us. I will always want that for us and believed we would... both last year and last weekend. Reality is, there's a lot of psychology to this game. Teams that expect to be standing in OKC because they've repeatedly done that often end up in OKC. We have to get there twice, 3 times, or more for that to truly be how our girls FEEL. Manifesting your destiny is real.
