Updated Bracketology 2.12.16

I saud this yo my buddy the other night. I think we could see 6-8 11-15 seeds win this year

I tend to agree. Based on this projection Stephen F Austin, Belmont are NMSU are all pretty good 15's. And like I said earlier the 12-14's project to be really good.

Gonzaga misses a golden opportunity to get a quality win. Starting to think they may need to win the WCCT to make their 18th consecutive tournament.

It is crazy that a gonzaga team has such terrible guards

Yeah it is crazy. Perkins was a top 75 guy out of high school, but hasn't lived up to the hype yet. They have NWG coming in next year, so that'll help, but they'll lose Wiltjer and possibly Sabonis. I still think they'll win the WCCT as is and get in.

UConn providence in round 1.

Thank you.

I'd love to beat up on Little Brother in the tourney.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Texas lost two road games last week: @Oklahoma and @Iowa State, yet they didn't fall in the polls. Guessing their RPI didn't drop.

Now they just have to win these home games.

fail, pitt sucks, and has beaten no one

 

[SteelersPride]

otherwise excellent

Pitt is in solid right now. Low 40s RPI, quality SOS, 6 Top 100 wins. They may suck but not as much as most everyone else lol

Winning @ND and @FSU along with Syracuse are very quality wins.

Finish 4-2, which I think is very realistic, and Pitt goes into ACCT 20-9(10-8) with an RPI of 41 and an SOS of 44. At that point I think they'd be lock status even if they lose their first game of the ACCT.

However, finishing 3-3 leaves Pitt in a VERY precarious situation. RPI would then be in the mid 50's.

It's really crazy how one game can mean so much

20-9(10-8) Pitt is probably safely in.
19-10(9-9) Pitt has to do some damage in DC.

Just curious even though this is very unlikely to happen. If Duke wins both road games this week against UNC & Ville, how far would you boost them up to? And what if they win one of the two?

If Duke wins both:
W/L: 21-6
RPI: 11
SOS: 8

If Duke were to win both, I'd say they are for sure on the 3 line and depending on what else happens around the country I could see them on the 2 line.

If Duke splits w/either w/l scenario:
W/L: 20-7
RPI 15
SOS: 8

If Duke splits I'd say they'd probably end up on the 4 line, with an outside chance at being on the 3 line(very slim) depending on what happens around the country.

I'd have Duke on the 5 line right now(this bracketology was before the UVA game) if they lost both, they may even stay on the 5 line, but 6 line at the absolute worst.

One seeds will end up being Nova, Virginia, KS, and AZ

I find it very unlikely we will end up a 1. Only way would be if we win out AND happen to beat both Utah and Oregon in the PAC tourney. That's highly unlikely considering the toughest road trip in the PAC is @Col and Utah. I think we lose @Utah, however if we play like we did tonight nobody in the PAC can beat us even on their best night

I agree with a top 5 coach and your talent you guys could sweep the PAC especially if you play the way you did tonight. I turned it off because it got boring. Utah has lost only once at home I believe and I have no idea why they're not ranked. Col is no pushover either. BPI has you as a 5 seed right now. Win out the reg season and win the Pac tourney and I think that guarantees a #1 seed. You guys are getting hot at the right time.

And healthy. Our only loss this year with our full squad was @UCLA and it was Zeus's first game back. Next game Trier broke his hand. Now that both are playing their best ball anything could happen from here on out.
