2012 Bracket Busters Projections

[WuShock Reaper]

Todays (01/10/12) Bracketbuster Games of Note:

Charleston Southern (RPI #142) at Gardner-Webb (RPI #259)


Commentary:

A loss by CSU here would not only hurt our RPI and SOS, but would most likely kill any chances for CSU to get a high profile ESPN TV game.

Mr. Katz isn't very high on our Shockers I guess.

Todays (01/10/12) Bracketbuster Games of Note:

Charleston Southern LOST (RPI #142) at Gardner-Webb (RPI #259)


Commentary:

I think it is safe say that CSU is done for a decent Bracketbuster game.

I didnt get that impression, where do you see that?

Todays (01/11/12) Bracketbuster Games of Note:

Ohio (RPI #75) vs. Buffalo (RPI #96)
Kent State (RPI #101) vs. Miami of Ohio (RPI #244)

Commentary:
The Ohio versus Buffalo game tonight is likely a play in/play out type of Bracketbuster TV game. However, we need Ohio to win as they are a "Home" team this year.

Well considering he gave a write up on nearly every school except Wichita State, and then made the comment that "Murray State will not play another ranked team the rest of the year." makes it sound like he thinks no matter who they get for a BB game won't be ranked. If we win out until the BB game, I don't see how we're not ranked. It just seemed to me he left off Wichita State completely in that article, aside from using us in his lists of potential opponents.

Yeah I got the same feeling. It was like he didn't consider us one of the top 5 road teams. He mentioned us a lot but only as a possible another opponent for teams that don't get their first pick. I kept waiting for the Shocker scenerio but it wasn't there.

Chicago State playing @ San Diego State tonight.

46-42 SDSU leads with 12 mins left in 2nd half.

Wow. Perhaps the most surprising score of the night. #22 SDSU won but I'm sure the 73-65 final score was well within the number. Chicago State still winless at 0-16.

That is exactly how I felt with the article. Way to verbalize my thoughts better.

Wow that is pretty stunning. It just goes to show that you have to show up to play every night or even the very worst team in division 1 can make it a game.

Big ups for providing valuable and relevant information in this thread. Thanks.

What in the world has happened to Detroit this year? Weren't they supposed to be talented, and a popular choice to displace Butler at the top of the Horizon? They seem to be going the way of their city, which is not a good way to go.
