BACATOLOGY 3/11: NCAA TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS

[bac2therac]

if Oregon wins, the best thing about this is not only wipe out Virginia but also all 3 Big East bubble teams.

In reality full scrub coming tomorrow so things can change and those schools like Oklahoma and FAU are going to be scrutinized as well. I think Michigan State is safe given their metrics and clean resume and sos.

 

[bac2therac]

It has to affect somebody. NC State coach might have been fired. Steals a bid from somebody

yes Virginia or seton hall is gone....for now...or it could be Florida Atlantic...or Oklahoma

 

[bac2therac]

e,Some bracketologists suggesting a play in game for 10 seed. Has that ever happened?

seems silly to do it that way. Drake has the metrics to be a 10.

 

[fatsam98]

NC State likely is 11 if precidence from a couple years back when Va Tech made a similar run with similar metrics. That at least in my bracket will push Drake to a 10 seed and NC State will be on the 11 line with James Madison. The 4 plays ins will remain as 11s

Oregon State was a 12 when they won PAC12 tourney a few years ago IIRC. But they were the worst team in that conference that year I think. So I guess that's the floor

 

[bac2therac]

for now...... in the morning it will be 9 schools for 4 spots pending the Oregon/Colorado game

LAST FOUR BYES: DAYTON, NORTHWESTERN, COLORADO STATE, MICHIGAN STATE

LAST FOUR IN: SETON HALL, FLORIDA ATLANTIC, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS A&M

FIRST FOUR OUT: VIRGINIA, SAINT JOHNS, PROVIDENCE, PITTSBURGH

NEXT FOUR OUT: INDIANA STATE, OREGON, KANSAS STATE, OHIO STATE

SOME CONSIDERATION: VILLANOVA, WAKE FOREST, IOWA, SOUTH FLORIDA, CINCINNATI, UTAH, MEMPHIS, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA TECH

yeah thinking 11 but they could be a 10 or could be a 12, their metric still are below Drake, James Madson. Alot of interesting seedings coming up..New Mexico and Colorado if they win..and what if Oregon wins

 

[cicero grimes]

And down go the tar heels. Can't remember the last time 3 projected number 1 seeds lost on the eve of the tournament but it probably does not happen that often.

 

[G- RUnit]

Want Oregon to win. Kinda like the chaos

 

[shields]

Seton Hall in trouble.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

 

[G- RUnit]

Seton Hall in trouble.

That’s my thoughts too but looking at last few teams in and the more I look the more I am underwhelmed by Oklahoma and NCAA favorite, Dayton.

 

[fatsam98]

 

[shields]

Seton Hall did nothing ooc. Lost to lousy USC and us of course.

 

[G- RUnit]

Iowa too. Worry for them. Saw OOC rated 231.

But Oklahoma, Providence, New Mexico, TCU even worse.

Committee can’t say tourneys don’t matter.

Argument for expanding tourney.

 

[shields]

Iowa not getting in.

 

[fatsam98]

Oregon-Colorado down to the wire.... Let's go Ducks

 

[BigEastPhil]

NC State. One of the terrific stories of this unreal March Madness Champ Week !

 

[G- RUnit]

Hope we get Vegas next year for B1G tourney

 

[BigEastPhil]

4 more minutes and PAC 12 conference is done for basketball !

 

[G- RUnit]

Iowa not getting in.

Not argument. It’s whether losses to Iowa and RU will torpedo SHU

 

[fatsam98]

Pirates board claiming there is collusion going on within the conferences to enable these bid stealers.

😂😂

Well same came be said of B1G East so might want to back off that one.

 

[Knight Shift]

Seton Hall is probably toast. Carino had this late yesterday, early today:

"Any concerns about falling out would be assuaged if two of the following three things happen: North Carolina beats N.C. State in the ACC Tournament final, Colorado beats Oregon in the Pac-12 Tournament final, and Florida Atlantic wins the AAC Tournament.

2 of those 3 things did not happen, and could be 3 of those three things not happening with Oregon up 70-64 and 1:09 remaining.

 

[Mr Magoo]

We need Dante next year…lol

 

[G- RUnit]

Wow Oregon going to win!

March Madness!!!

 

[BigEastPhil]

It’s Madness and I love it !!!!

 

[bac2therac]

Some bracketologists suggesting a play in game for 10 seed. Has that ever happened?

So as silly as it is it could come into play if Oregon wins

11 seeds: Oregon, N C State, Drake, James Madison

We would have 2 10s but then the other 4 play ins get the 7s

It would be a screw to the 7s

They could also do one group as 11s and the other 2 as 12 seeds..they split them before...they also can move 2 of the AQs to 12

In this scenario Drake is a 10

 

[fatsam98]

We need Dante next year…lol

Sign me up

 

[biazza38]

Incredible year to not be a bubble team

 

[bac2therac]

Deep cleaning tomorrow. Oklahoma can easily be left out

That’s I guess the issue. Is it fair to the 7’s ?
Head spinning trying to figure this out. But maybe easier?? I don’t know.

Yeah this is better to wstch rather be a part of

Fairer to split 2 11s and 2 12s for play ins

 

[G- RUnit]

I think Dayton, Oklahoma and SHU/St. Johns will not sleep well.

 

[G- RUnit]

Agreed but….. not confident with NCAA

 

[fatsam98]

Long Beach State up 3 late.

Rooting for them, their longtime coach was told he won't be back next season, right before the big west tourney

 

[RUforester72]

Wow Oregon going to win!

March Madness!!!

Go Ducks!!!!!!

 

[Knight Shift]

Long Beach State wins.

 

[bac2therac]

Agreed but….. not confident with NCAA

I think we need to move Drake to 10 and we can move Oregon up a line to 11, their net will be in the 50-55 range tomorrow so its not that crazy

 

[G- RUnit]

Long Beach State up 3 late.

Great for them!! Also Vegas… will sorta
Long Beach State AD seems douchey now.
