Per a recent twitter exchange with a BYU WBB assistant:

@goduckskg
Lower seed upsets can make men's NCAA tourney magical. Doesn't happen in Wmns tourney since Top 4 seeds host. Think MTSU beats Sparty in EL?

A BYU assistant replies to him in agreement:
dan_nielson
@goduckskg spot on. Helping the rich get richer just to boost attendance doesn't grow the game.

Graves' response:
@goduckskg
dan_nielson we need to go to a different model for sure. Good luck to you guys--pulling for you.

Hearing a *uck coach agree with a "rich getting richer" lament is beyond ironic. Plus, he's not complaining about hosting first round WNIT games - so he's a hypocrite.

Everything I hear from this Graves guy leaves me unimpressed to say the least.

(Graves vs OSU. 0-4, combined score 266-163; Average 67 to 41)

I think it won't work as long as Attendance ad Money Run he Game. Wonder if He thinks Eugene would be a Neutral Court for us?

don't have anything Personal against Graves the than He coaches a t a place I despise. His work at Gonzaga was good.

Didn't like what He sad about us having to accomplish something. I think He was referring to our last 2 years folding early.

Reall enjoyed last nights Game n he Second Half.
