It held by 13. Ouch.North Carolina is going to absolutely regret scheduling a home game vs Marquette this week....they are down double digits...it will be a damaging Q3 loss if it holds
What about 6 more wins? :>)My current guesstimate for RU:
0 more wins = 10 or 11 seed
1 more win = 7 or 8 seed
2 more wins = 6 or 7 seed
3 more wins = 5 or 6 seed
Really hoping we can snag 2 more Ws (including B1GT) to lock up a 7 seed or higher and avoid the dreaded 8/9 matchup.
He dropped us 3 seed lines for the Maryland loss, I believe. Just stupid. I've been following him for a long time and he's prone to lapses in logic.sorry but De Courcy putting RU at 11 before tonight in his bracket is just bad analysis from him. He is not very good
He has Oregon and UCLA 7s...this is a complete homer job given Fox has PAC 12 games.
Xavier and SHU in as 11s..you can see the shilling for BE and Pac 12...BE is not getting 5
also has Stanford and UConn in the field and Minnesota out as of today along with Duke and doesnt even have Ga Tech or MSU in first 4 out

I think if RU were finishing out with, along with A-Minnesota, instead of A-Nebraska something like A-Purdue, H-Michigan, or A- one of the mid tier teams they've already played away, RU would not need another win - none of those losses would hurt enough including A-Minn. But if they lose at Nebraska that dings the resume, perhaps enough to keep them out (but I'd still take even odds at least for a first four spot). So they've done enough to get in as of now, but losing 3 straight now would leave it in very subjective hands.
I'd never put it past a network to give their product a nudge. He's at least partially affiliated with BTN though, right? Haven't seen him in the studio this year but certainly there a lot last year and they're still a Fox station using his bracket projections exclusively.as I said I think bias, he had all 3 of SHU/Xavier/Uconn in and well 2 of those lost tonight and you cannot even make a case he had them seeded the same or better than RU..thats bizarre
and too high seedings for UCLA and Oregon. He is guilty of the same things I see that Jerry Palm does with SEC and A10 and what Lunardi does with ACC and Big 12.

When he was with the Sporting News I remember reading his opinion piece on B1G expansion trying to say that PSU's presence in NYC meant that RU wouldn't add anything significant. Lapses in logic. He's a friendly enough guy and will answer fans on Twitter more often than not, but that's just given me more opportunities to see him lob crappy arguments out there.
Could be pandemic related, not sure he's local to the studio.seems to really be in the BTN studio much less than other years I noticed. Relying on Andy Katz more. Its weird but I dont like FOX for college hoops. While they have some very good announcers...and alot from the Big 10 like Bardo and Jimmy Jackson is very good, I think their in studio talent is weak.
at the very least, avoids sounding like a dope.

I really only watch studio stuff following games I watch, which is mostly RU and occasionally a BE game, so I only really see Fox the last few years. I like Lavin a lot, I couldn't tell you if he's more insightful than the average studio analyst but he's likeable and, at the very least, avoids sounding like a dope.
Play in game isn’t awful if you win and gives you a game before opponent. Usually 12 seed?
BAC - would you say that a win at Nebraska 100% assures that we’re not only in but avoid the play in game? Looking at the bubble, it seems like there will have to be 4 teams with worse resumes even if we (worst case scenerio) got smoked by Minn and then took another pounding against Michigan State or PSU in round one?
I don’t expect this - I saw a rebirth of our transition game which had been dead in the water since the first Iowa game (regardless of the quality of the opponent). Having that as a weapon would change everything about what we can do and the variety of styles we can play. Cautiously optimistic as it was only one game. But not being in the play in game is kind of that 1/4th win needed milestone. IMO that’s the dreaded landing spot - not an 8/9 game.
UNC net this morning: #44 (down from #33).thats a big big loss, by double digits, should take a big NET hit

I just don’t want the dreaded 8-9 game which we had against Iowa and ASU. Again if you win a play in game it’s kinda fun.
I am looking at Minnesota before they play us, NW, Nebraska and Penn State. If they go 3-0 do they need season ending win over us?
Stanford Oregon interesting tonight.
Being an 8 seed is way better than being a play-in game.
I’m not so sure. One one level you’re absolutely correct. On the other hand, I’d might rather win a play in a game, win the 5-12 game and then play the winner of 4-13 rather than an 8-9 game and then playing 1.
Yes but sir it is more difficult to win two games than one game. If you just ASSUME we win the play-in game and the first round game then okay but that's a weird assumption to make?
