IT'S ALMOST UPON US

All I care about is put Villanova FRIDAY and SUNDAY!

Although I think we're going to be Thursday and Saturday which is going to suck donkey for my schedule.

Early yesterday, the "experts" seemed to universally converge around 68 teams, with Oklahoma State, LSU, Purdue, Texas, Temple, BYU, Boise State, Indiana, and Ole Miss all in on 85% of the expert brackets. No one else was close.

Then Wyoming stole a bid, and hell gets unleashed. Which one of those nine is out now? None of those 9 can feel totally secure...it could be them. If UConn steals another bid, the madness gets even crazier. Two of the nine will going home, at least. That's where the drama is.

FWIW, those who read my Bubble Watch know that BYU is the team I think is the odd man out. If UConn wins today, Texas is the second team out. However, any of those teams could get sent home. Jontae said in the other thread he thinks Indiana and Ole Miss should be out if UConn wins. Who do all of the rest of you have?

Indiana and ole miss are good bets in my opinion as well.

I personally think both texas(undeserved) and Byu are fine.

 

[podsox]

prayer texas isn't the 11 in our region. awful matchup for nd.

today Kentucky makes a statement imo

 

[pumpkinhead33793]

Kentucky, Villanova, Wisconsin and Arizona should be the 1 seeds, and in that order. I still think Duke could get the nod as a 1 seed just because of who they beat.

Duke, Virginia, Notre Dame and Iowa State will be 2 seeds IMO.

Kansas, Gonzaga, Maryland and Northern Iowa will be 3 seeds.

 

[podsox]

mine would be
1. Kentucky, nova, Virginia, wisky
2. duke, zona, Kansas, zaga
3. iowa st, nd, Maryland, Oklahoma
4. n. iowa, unc, Utah, Baylor

Well today will be some what pointless. Committee will favor teams and help them out.

Agree with u on the 1's. I would put ND in the 2's. They won the ACC tournament and beat Duke twice.

I agree with the 4 seed. I have a feeling UNC will be in Nova Bracket. we always end up in their bracket. Committee might screw us and put us in the Kentucky bracket.

 

[purguy12]

I don't see anyone beating Kentucky. I was watching the game, it was 16-16 and I left for like 5 min and now its 41-25. LOL

Best Final Match up Kentucky vs Duke. Hope both lose.

Sure would be but I am very nervous about the amount of minutes Duke has played and no bench and they can not shoot FTs

It would be fun to watch the Bigs play against each other. Again i hope both lose. LOL

Ole Miss and Boise.

Ole Miss has lost 4 of their last 5 I believe an RPI of 55. I seem them being out if Uconn wins. But with wyomings auto bid Boise has to be the odd guy out. The SoS is 132.

Just my opinion though.

I'm with you. I hope they put WVU on a Friday/Sunday schedule but see us likely the Thursday/Saturday deal. But really I'm just looking for my team to win a game or two.

 

[bksballer89]

Wisconsin down 6.

Number of major-conference teams to lose 3 or fewer games and not get a #1 seed in the last decade: 0

(Last time was Oklahoma in 2004)

Thanks, shitty Pac 12!

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

I am not sure how Wisconsin gets a higher seed than Duke.

Duke smoked them on their home floor. Duke beat 5 teams likely to be ranked in the top 20.

Duke did not lose to anything worse than a bubble team (miami)....no Rutgers on their resume.

Duke annihilated Michigan State as well.
