2019-20 Games of Interest

[SkoShox]

They aren't getting closer and closer .. they have been floating between 66 and 75 for about a month now. If anything they are inching farther away from the 75 mark. I check it nearly daily. Win/Losses are having less and less affect on the NET at this point. Huge blowouts are really the only thing moving the needle.

You are correct. UCONN is +4 since Monday. OSU is -3 since Monday. I am not really concerned about UCONN. But OSU could absolutely fall to a Q2 (this coming from someone who also checks it near daily ;) )

OSU has been fluctuating back and forth between Q1 and Q2 for most of the year. UCONN on the other hand is giving some breathing room in the past three weeks.

[SkoShox]

Other possible Q1 victories:

South Carolina wins out they could get very close to a top 50 NET. They are at 64 right now and still play two bubble teams.

Using the Bracket Matrix as the metric for seeds:

https://www.bracketmatrix.com/

I include only Seeds 9 thru 12 seeds, plus the first ten out as Bubble Watch teams.

Wichita State is currently ahead the team below:

Yale at Penn

Comments:
Not sure Yale is likely to get an At-Large if they don't win the Ivy League, bur they do have somewhat of a chance over the next 4 games if they keep winnng.

Oklahoma at #17 West Virginia - Root for Austin Reaves

Comments:
Lots of games and and all 10 teams just outside the bubble play today.

[Steeleshocker]

Providence with a big road win over Villanova. May need to beat SMU tomorrow with all these teams that are getting big wins late in the year.

[Shock Top]

KU survives an upset. Baylor gets upset.

Another title going to Lawrence.

[TheShocktocles]

How can West Virginia lose 5 of the last 6 and be ranked? Yeah I know they beat us, but the rankings are nothing but a fraud. Kinda like the special treatment the NCAA gives to so-called power conference schools. Just bullsht.

[TheShocktocles]

Oh no. West Virgina and Texas Tech lost again today. This should move both them up in the rankings and gurantee a spot in the tournament for them. But West Virgina will drop from a 7 seed to 8 seed. Texas Tech will move up to a 6th seed. The Big 12 is an awesome conference and when teams lose it does not matter.

[N Crestway]

KU survives an upset. Baylor gets upset.

Another title going to Lawrence.

Could really see the team's flaws in this one without a healthy Azubuike.

[Maizerunner08]

Little to no help today from what I’ve seen.

[ShockerFever]

Just saw a graphic from the Gonzaga game, Lunardi has updated his bracket and we are the very last team in the field now.

So much for being "just fine".

Lunardi is the 55th ranked predictor on Bracket Matrix. He’s a No. 2 seed in the Bracket NIT.
