There starting to get some attention from the national pundits..

Wow the fact that even we've gotten ESPN to bite shows that these guys may be the real deal haha

 

[cubuffsdoug]

F*** ESPiN!!!

The fact they have Ohio State as a 1st seed, Maryland as a 3rd seed, and GTown as a 10th seed makes me questioned the whole thing.

And that was before tonight's game.

And that was before tonight's game.

Tonight's game very well could hurt depending on how they look at it... 17 pt conference road win, sure, good, but what we found out tonight is that we won't have Geo for some more important games

Injuries rarely count against tournament teams assuming they tread water.

There is only one bracketologist that matters. And that’s our very own @bac2therac Lunardi has nothing on him. When bac says we’re in, then and only then, can we take it to the bank.

haha thanks...but IMO and I know others are different about this, its just way too early to legitimately look at this...there are 17 conference games left and thats true for most schools around the country. The sample size of just non conference game just makes the whole resume thing incomplete

We’ve won 5 in a row by 7, 20, 19, 45 and 17 points.

Lunardi's bracketology, referenced in OP, was last updated 12/23. Clearly we're a couple notches higher right now.

Now updated, same placement. I don't think it includes Friday night games.

 

[Mr_Twister]

If we’re close we get the benefit of the doubt on the through-the-roof TV numbers and national storyline we would bring.

 

[IMARUFAN]

Damn ... so close.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I woke up in the middle of the night and checked my phone for the updated NET rankings and was pissed that they still said “updated through Jan 2”. Get it together NCAA.

 

[fbc1866]

That's a big request.

Absolutely correct. Trying to accurately forecast hundreds of teams' records through 2/3 of the remaining season based on performance through 1/3 of the season is probably worse than trying to make a 30-day weather forecast. Sure, it's fun to speculate, but putting any stock in bracketology right now is just a bit silly.

Silly is the kindest way to describe it.

NET rankings are out and we’re 29, 7th of Big Ten teams.
