Winner goes to MSG …BOOOOOM!That would mean Rutgers-UConn in Albany, 2nd round game
Up 13 it’s overtraditionally Purdue has trouble in end game situations so....
You don’t like nantz , hill and raff ?Atmosphere there is a morgue and announcers awful
From a bid stealers, correct me on what’s left.Atmosphere there is a morgue and announcers awful

UAB - win and in
AAC winner not Hou / Memphis - win and in (two teams alive)
Vandy - could get in with a win today, win tourney and in
VCU - if they lose their title game
Not that I get a vote, but based on this I have to think that barring Vandy winning their tournament- we are “a lock“. I would believe our resume trumps Vandy and VCU. This is based on all the bracket people I’ve been reading and following.
I do think, that any auto bid win above may push us definitely to Dayton.
Caveat is, who knows what the committee is deciding.

This is just how I see things today on 3/11 and 12:30 PM. The entire field and seeds will be scrubbed and alot of numbers crunching overnight and tomorrow morning that could change things
With Rutgers, I believe Rutgers is 90% locked in the field. I think its 60/40 that we avoid Dayton. Rutgers has a shot at 10 here but its tenuous for sure. Do not necessarily expect that. 11 might be more correct. Rutgers fans should sweat less than last year. Right now 101 of 105 brackets on the Matrix have RU in the field, although right now in Dayton. The big thing for me is 7 wins vs schools in the field and the high end over a projected one seed is glorious.
I feel North Carolina State has the weakest profile of any of the teams in the field and could easily be passed up for ANY of my projected first 4 out. I do not think any of the next 6 out can get into the field.
Vanderbilt is coming with a rush. I made a post last night that i need to apologize for. I said that they needed to win the SEC tourney to get in. That was just wrong and reactionary and I should have known better. If Vandy wins today I will put them in the field. If they do not they still have a shot to get in but probably less than 50/50. They are 10-10 in Q1/2. 7 wins vs schools in the field including 2 high level Q1 wins over Tennessee and at Arkansas. The other 5 wins are Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Auburn and last 2 in Pitt. It is interesting their Q4 loss was to Grambling State who is the projected AQ from the SWAC and could actually move into Q3 today. 2 Q3 loss,, the Southern Miss one not all that bad and truly the only bad one was LSU which is their only loss in their last 11 games. SOS is a fine 22. Remember a late run by Texas A&M in this same SEC tourney was rejected in favor of a flimsy resume from Notre Dame. So let us test that.
Utah State is getting in because the metrics are great. 18 in the NET in the 5th rated conference. Yes only two wins in Q1 and in field vs Boise 2-4. But Q2 is 9-1 giving them 11-5 in Q1/2. Q3 they have a whopping 13 wins and the 24-5 mark in Q1/2/3 is why their NET is 18. Now they have 2 Q4 losses and their fans in bracketology seem to be ignoring them. I do not say I like having them in and in general think the Mountain West is overrated. Beating San Diego State probably moves them to the 9 line. Whether a full scrub can put them over RU or into the first four is yet to be determined.
Pittsburgh's saving grace might be a win over Northwestern and knocking off North Carolina State in their only meeting but as said above they also lost to Vanderbilt
I want to be an 11 seed playing on Friday afternoon. Let me enjoy the first day of the tournament in peace.
Bac, my buddy went to Clemson and is livid about some brackets having NC State over them. He can accept being on the bubble but no way should NC state be in over them. We just compared their schedules. I do t see it either. Big obvious is they played each other 3 times and Clemson beat their ass all three times by a total of 65 points!!!!!! Just using these two, please tell me how YOU also have nc state over them. Based on what?
I'll copy and paste what I posted earlier in another thread here on geography/dates.I want to be an 11 seed playing on Friday afternoon. Let me enjoy the first day of the tournament in peace.
The other thing here is Vanderbilt is getting whooped basically at a home site. If the BIG tourney was held in Newark and we made a run you know every pundit would mention that however.A&M all over Vanderbilt 19-5 early. Seems like every bubble team except us is ending the year getting blown out. Probably doesn't matter but who knows
memphis will be the worryHouston up bigly at half in front of dozens of people.... 38-23.
Was worried about this one, stupid me.
Yeah but not too worried about Houston's ability to handle Tulane if it comes to thatmemphis will be the worry
Reading the tea leaves it's almost like the Committee is pencils down on Friday night, unless bid thieves emergeIts likely Vandy fate might have been decided before today...thinking not in
Correct, pencils not pen.Reading the tea leaves it's almost like the Committee is pencils down on Friday night, unless bid thieves emerge
Good teams don’t do that.Purdue will only lose this lead if they pull a rutgers at minny
Haha!Houston up bigly at half in front of dozens of people.... 38-23.

No a few breaks. A few shots. Not to be a dick, but man if we had just one decent shooter we’d have 22 winsCrazy year. Hard to see many teams we beat seeded higher than us, with a few breaks we could have been a 6 or better. Let’s get in and make some waves and set a new standard to beat next year.
Cam Spencer shoots 43% from 3 lol how horrible. Yes our offense is bad but let’s maybe try to avoid saying dumb things.No a few breaks. A few shots. Not to be a dick, but man if we had just one decent shooter we’d have 22 wins
