BACATOLOGY: 3/6 NCAA TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS***RUTGERS PROJECTED 11 SEED***

can we give it to another team....lets give it to Virginia for tonight
NO!!!! I’d think UNC needs at least 2 to be above us. Let’s save it. Could (not probable) need it on Saturday to stay out of Dayton.
I know UConn winning helps us but seeing them potentially lose in embarrassing fashion is oh so satisfying.
UCLA and Ucant win. Good day for Rutgers.
Go Hoos Go!
Go Hoos Go!
San Diego State survives! What a great game. Interesting spot for Nevada. They have SJSU tonight and then if they win they get SDSU. A win over San Jose State might be enough for them, but they'd have preferred a chance to get to the MWC finals going through San Jose State and Colorado State instead.
Pitt got blown out. Obviously very good day for RU so far. Shame Florida couldn't beat Miss State in OT but that win shouldn't do much for the Bulldogs. They get a rested Alabama tomorrow
That window of games felt like an NCAA tournament window. I love this shit.
Not getting much work done today
FWIW here are the bracketmatrix competitors for the last spots and how their day is going.
Teams not in the field by the consensus:
UNC - listed on 1 bracket as I type - face UVA tonight
Michigan - listed on 3 brackets - lost to Rutgers by 12 - Adios!
Arizona State - listed on 16 brackets - face USC tonight as 4 pt dogs. (THIS IS A BIG ONE!)
Wisconsin - listed on 17 brackets - lost to Ohio State last night, helpless.
Oklahoma State - listed on 40 brackets - face Texas tonight as 7 pt dogs. BIG ONE.
Penn State was last team in, listed on 83 brackets - face Illinois tonight as 2 pt dogs.
Nevada - 87 brackets - play San Jose State soon as a 3.5 pt favorite. I don't think that's a "move the needle" chance but a loss could be fatal.
Miss State - 85 brackets - one pt win in OT over a mediocre Florida. Loss could've been fatal.
Rutgers - only 69 brackets - 12 pt win over bubbly Michigan - HUGE WIN!
Utah State - 73 brackets - face New Mexico tonight as 3.5 pt favorites. Great net, thin resume IMO.
Pitt - 79 brackets - lost 96-69 to Duke OUCH. That's going to leave a mark.

great metrics and about 6 wins i think vs field. They are your typical 8/9 type team
As many have written before, the BIG tournament does wear out teams for the big dance with 4 or 5 games on 4 or 5 days.
Go San Jose State
Arizona State
Oklahoma State
North Carolina
now of those 4, only Oklahoma State with a win will jump into the field definitively. , UNC would be close
Nevada losing is huge because they have been playing their way to the cut line. Still never convinced that the MWC would get 4 but it would be easier to take Utah State over Nevada

Don’t forget to account for FAU. If they don’t win their conference tournament another at large bid gone
I would have a hard time stomaching a 10 loss Nevada getting a bid
I want to root for PSU and I’d like to see them make it
Would it take them going to B1GT semis to be ahead of us.
I’d hate for them to send us to dayton

How far would Oregon have to go to get in the Tourney? Win the Pac 12 Tourney or can they get in if they get to the Champ Game?
