Wanted to see if it was better for Wyoming that Boise St or San Diego St won, and didn't realize how weak Wyoming's resume was, 0-1.vs SanDiego St, 1-2 vs Boise St, 1-1 ColoradoSt, 2-4 vs the 3 MWC locks, both wins at home, and a blow out loss @ Arizona. Other 2 Q1 wins @ Utah St and @ Fresno St. for their 4-5 Q1 record, the 7-1 Q2 isn't much better.

We have 18 wins … are there any teams in that will have equal or less? That’s my worry. Other than Michigan but I feel like that’s a reason we’ll be in the first 4
Yep, two great results. Don’t think a hokie win would kill us bcause they may be in regardless
If we make it I think the odds are high we’ll be in First Four lined up to play the highest 5 seed available
Sign me up for Wyoming and then providence
East region would be nice too
Don't think I've seen VaTech miss a 3 this entire tournament
Bubble definitely has shrunk. Think 10 teams are fighting for 7 spots. I didn't move SMU down even with the loss. It wasn't a bad loss at all plus I think they can still get in. Their WAB is 2.0 on torvik.
Last byes:
Indiana
Texas A&M
Wyoming
Playins:
Rutgers
Michigan
Virginia Tech
Notre Dame
Remaining out:
SMU
Xavier
Oklahoma
A Virginia Tech win would move them past all the last 4 ins. A loss to Duke probably makes them the last team in and at the mercy of Davidson. I think RU-VT and Michigan-ND is a good possibility
Conference tourney has basically no bearing on how teams play in the actual tourney.
Still confused of the love for Indiana? We just beat them! They lost 7 of 10 to end the season.
I agree with Scarlet Blind. Wyoming's resume is not great. I think they are out. There is a guy in the men's bball thread on the Syracuse site that does a good job with breaking down the brackets. (Not as good as BAC) but he has been doing it for years and has been pretty good in the past. He has us in as a play in.
Exactly. Everyone gets wrapped up in conference tourney because it’s the last time you see a team. They had to come back to beat an average Michigan team and played an Illinois team ( solid win) with not much to play for. They haven’t been good for over a month.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were out. See Colorado St last year.
There is no guarantee Rutgers gets picked over Xavier..or Notre Dame
I think we are in over Xavier but not ND
Find a list and look near the bottom of it and you will find him.
I can understand (not agree but understand) ND getting in over us, but I cannot see how Xavier is still alive on the bubble. They sucked down the stretch. I get the committee does not look at how a team does down the stretch but aside from us there are probably 2-3 other bubble teams I would put in over them.
This just feels right. But could see the committee flipping us and A&M especially if they win the $EC
Crazy thing about this VaTech run is they almost lost to Clemson in 2nd round, which only would have helped us (not a ton, but still). That was a game with big implications.
the selection committee always gives great weight to the conference tourneys. I think Texas AnM and Va tech are both in and both avoid Dayton. Especially if they win their tourneys. Last year Georgetown and Oregon state were given Real seeds and avoided Dayton for winning their conference tourneys
No they don’t always give great weight to the conference tournaments. And you couldn’t be more wrong about Oregon state and Georgetown as to why they weren’t in Dayton.
Play-in games are the last four at-larges and last four autos. Oregon State and Georgetown would've had to be as bad as the worst 16 seeds to be in play-in games
