Frankly my dear I don't give a damn. Until we get in.

No Syracuse this year, but New York's team is dancing!

Bobby Hurley's State University of New York - Buffalo (with the words "New York" prominently displayed on their jerseys) win and are in.

Not sure why Mississippi is still being considered. Lost four of last five. Think all of the SEC teams are getting a weird bump up on strength of schedule by losing to Kentucky. Who wouldn't lose to Kentucky?

Indiana is 5-9 in last 14 with two wins against RU. If they are not named Indiana are they even in the conversation?

Temple has the best win of the bunch with the nice win over Kansas.

Just like BYU and Texas because I think if they get in, they could both do some damage and makes for a far more interesting tourney.

Every year Mountain West flops. Not impressed with Colorado State or Boise. Wyoming? Really?

Miami, UCLA, Tulsa should still be in conversation. Tulsa finished second in a under-rated and decent league. Miami up and down but beat Duke at Duke.

East coast and mid-west bias against Pac 12 is comical. UCLA deserves a look. Arizona might be the 2nd best team in the country and all we hear about is Duke, Villanova, Wisc, UVA, deserving of the one seeds. Comical.

Mississippi has wins at Oregon and at Arkansas. Committee thinks very highly of quality road wins. They also beat WVU...3 very good wins there.....they only lost to Kentucky by 3. SOS is a solid 46...3-5 vs rpi top 50 but especially solid is the 9-8 mark vs rpi top 100.They do have some bad losses...worst of which is Charleston Southern but losing to the likes of TCU and Western Kentucky as well

Indiana has some very good wins and solid marks against top 50/100rpi 4-9 vs top 50 and 8-12 vs top 100..only one bad loss and that's to Northwestern, every other bubble has more bad losses. The SOS is a strong 22. Wins over SMU, Butler, Maryland and Ohio State....show me a bubble team with better wins

How you finish is not a criteria so Indiana losing 9 of 14, Oklahoma State losing 5 of 6 and Ole Miss losing 4 of 5 do not matter...its body of work.

Temple has a win over Kansas but is a weak 2-8 vs top 50....a better 8-8 vs top 100 but the AAC may not get 4...they better be rooting against UConn

AAC is not underrated. UConn was mediocre this year and is benefitting from playing the conference tourney at home. Tulsa has two wins over Temple and nothing else on their bland resume. UCLA 2-8 vs top 50, 5-11 vs top 100 and is like 4-12 on the road. Miami just 2-7 vs top 50. Just because they beat Duke does not mean they should get in These 3 schools have virtually no shot


its going to be close. I love that Cinderella Wyoming won yesterday but its going to make my job difficult in figuring out whose bid do they steal. If UConn wins today...and the lateness of that game at 3:15 is going to wreck havoc with the committee meaning they have to have a separate bracket to for SMU and then another if UConn wins, cant just easily move schools as the play in games will all have to be switched and at least one school seeded 12th bumped up in seeding should UConn win as the Huskies will get a 12 and one of the 11th seeded schools gets bounced out of the tourney

Be Bac later this afternoon with my predicted bracket and seedings after some serious numbers crunching
