Of Note: This is contingent on Wisconsin winning and SMU winning. I hope both do so I don't have to re-do this in 30 minutes.

Not familiar with him.

Not familiar with him.

Well he doesn't think Duke is a 1 and think ND is a 2 seed

 

[ericd7633]

I'd have ND as a #2 seed if their Non Conf. SOS wasn't in the 320's. The top 8 IMO have been set for some time now. Kansas still has a better resume IMO.

Eric what do you do with the last #1 if Wisconsin loses? Arizona as the west #1 or Virginia?

 

[ralphiewvu]

I wouldn't mind this if it shook out.

That's really hard, word is the committee has two brackets ready to go contingent on these last games. Because of that, I think they'll likely put UVA out west, and ship Wisconsin to the East. Just my opinion. I think they likely, at this point, have Gonzaga/KU in the South/Midwest(for geography), because of that, the only thing they can really switch would be Wisconsin/UVA.

 

[ericd7633]

I wouldn't mind this if it shook out.

Would be cool to see all those old Big East schools in that top half of the region with Nova, Cincy, WVU and L'Ville.

 

[bksballer89]

Not looking good for Wisconsin right now.

Down 9 with under 9 to go

The way UNC handled us Friday night, I would not care to have a 1seed knowing they are # 4 in our bracket.

Indeed, I do miss the regional rivalries and rough and tough big east.

 

[ericd7633]

If Wisconsin does lose and UVA gets to the one line, UNC wouldn't be a 4 in the same region. That would switch them somewhere else to avoid a S16 rematch.

 

[dcZONAfan]

Honestly I'll be disappointed if, should Wisconsin lose, Arizona doesn't get the 1 out west after taking care of business against a really hot team in Oregon. I guess we will see. Hope msu can hold on

 

[ericd7633]

And now UCONN is within 6. If they win, IU would be my next team out.

If Wisconsin loses, and that is the contingency bracket the committee went with, look for Gonzaga to be the #2 out west, with Zona being the #1 out west. UVA the #2 in the East, Wisconsin the #2 in the Midwest. Definitely not impossible.

I couldn't remember and was thinking it was only the first weekend they avoided.

Honestly I'll be disappointed if, should Wisconsin lose, Arizona doesn't get the 1 out west after taking care of business against a really hot team in Oregon. I guess we will see. Hope msu can hold on

I figured UVA was going to be a two seed after the last week we had. I would have no issues with Arizona getting the one seed over us now.

 

[ericd7633]

Wonder what would happen if this game went OT? If it does, I'd have to think it would after 6:00 pm.

 

[ericd7633]

To sum up:

I correctly predicted 38 teams to the exact line.
I predicted 20 teams within one line of their seeds.
I had Colorado State and Temple in the field. Missed on UCLA and Ole Miss.
