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

[koko2315]

Haha that’s fair I forgot how much of a local party it is

it was a great half day at work/early lunch day

 

[bac2therac]

Creighton 3-8 vs Q1 projected as a 7????!!!!

maybe a 6 still possible

top player went out during a stretch where they lost several games in a row, he came back and they started winning again. They played tough sos and had some high end wins..yes only 4 wins vs field but the metrics love them. The tip off that they will be seeded this good is when they are basically a 5 seed in the ncaa top 16 reveal a few weeks back.

 

[bac2therac]

I get that, but going by your analysis from Monday, might you not want NCS to lose, so we move ahead of them and then hope Clemson loses to UVA tomorrow to keep them out (or to Duke/Miami winner in the finals to keep them below us if they sneak in)?

yes that would be the perfect scenario but do we risk it. NC State did get that win yesterday over Va Tech by alot that probably left them in good shape. Not sure a loss will knock them out. I can see reasons why the committee might like NC State over Rutgers in seeding and in the field overall even though I wouldnt agree.

UNLV within 6. Boise State prognosis with a loss?

Big tourney atmosphere looks tremendous too. Remember st John's and especially those full of themselves Uconn fans fill msg. The rest of the field not so much maybe the H all in good times.

 

[kcg88]

Stanford 57, Arizona 56. Lots of time left but Arizona is playing with their food just like UCLA did.

Wachtel is all over the place. Just tweeted that PSU’s win helps Rutgers…though he tweeted after Rutgers won that RU fans should root for Illinois.

Lol

PSU's win helps Rutgers' resume, but also hurts us in the direct competition between us and Penn St. I assume that's where the contradiction comes from.

Overall it definitely hurts us though.

 

[fluoxetine]

I agree with rooting for NC State.

 

[kcg88]

Two point game! Boise had led by 16 at halftime

 

[fatsam98]

Wow UNLV pulls ahead.

Lunardi has Boise as a 'last four bye' team

 

[bac2therac]

wow...wouldnt be a good loss for them . Yet I think they are still safe, Currently on 9 line this would ding that

 

[bac2therac]

Wow UNLV pulls ahead.

Lunardi has Boise as a 'last four bye' team

I differ a bit from Lunardi...they seem safer than most, even the matrix has them as highest 10

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Like to see Stanford , nova ans banderbijt go down here

Vandy is one that makes me nervous

 

[bac2therac]

I think with Vandy they pretty much have to win it all, see Texas A&M last year.

Clemson up 5

UNLV up 2

Arizona struggling only up 3

 

[RutgersNo1]

Bac, is nc state in if lose to Clemson by 10+?

 

[Altrev]

So, we are rooting for UNLV or Boise St? Thanks.

 

[kcg88]

Don't sleep on Boise erasing Q1 wins for Nevada and Utah State if they lose here. #27 in the NET entering the day.

Kinda no win as helps Clemson.

 

[G- RUnit]

PSU's win helps Rutgers' resume, but also hurts us in the direct competition between us and Penn St. I assume that's where the contradiction comes from.

Overall it definitely hurts us though.

I think only helps us. We swept them and recently. Hardly definitive!

 

[Joey Bags]

Julian Reese has the worst free throw shooting motion I’ve ever seen

 

[Altrev]

Guys, am I rooting for Nevada or Boise? Thanks

 

[fatsam98]

Guys, am I rooting for Nevada or Boise? Thanks

UNLV...

Nevada lost earlier

 

[kcg88]

Guys, am I rooting for Nevada or Boise? Thanks

Slightly for UNLV. Might knock Boise below us (bac says no but others may say yes). On the other hand UNLV would go to the semis with a chance to steal a bid.

 

[Altrev]

Thanks

 

[kcg88]

Replay reviews ruining a good game right now.

 

[kcg88]

For 38 minutes when they can't review it that's UNLV ball. But now that they can look frame by frame in the final two minutes it's Boise ball.

 

[bac2therac]

Bac, is nc state in if lose to Clemson by 10+?

its tough with them, no bad losses, not a lot of wins, they probably still could lose here and not be in trouble unless Clemson gets to finals

 

[kcg88]

UNLV guy just falls over and that'll probably do it. Yikes.

 

[biazza38]

Unlv guy slipped and lost the ball down 2 with 22 seconds left. Ugh
Boise at the line up 2

 

[bac2therac]

Don't sleep on Boise erasing Q1 wins for Nevada and Utah State if they lose here. #27 in the NET entering the day.

good catch..im still liking 3 from this conference

 

[kcg88]

good catch..im still liking 3 from this conference

If Utah State wins tonight I agree

 

[kcg88]

Does the Mountain West give each team 10 timeouts? Play basketball.

 

[kcg88]

THIS IS MARCH

 

[biazza38]

OMG OMG!!!
Tell that was a 3

 

[Altrev]

Holy sh*t!!!!

 

[tfio]

Wow wow wow

 

[fatsam98]

UNLV unbelievable buzzer beater. Overtime!

 

[Shell21]

wow what a shot. how do they not foul?

 

[bac2therac]

If Clemson wins tonight that would be 3 wins vs Nc State

has to have implications for the Wolfpack right?
