2020-21 Bracketology

[Arizona Shocker]

F*** Yes!

Had a big post planned about Big 10 getting 9 teams in and other grumblings...forget all that, we dancing!

[ABC]

Yep. BYU's reaction said it all.

what was their reaction?

[Shock Top]

Gary Parrish couldn't be bothered. "Drake beats Wichita State and USC beats Drake" and on to bigger and more important things,.

He’s just pissed WSU is in and Memphis was, yet again, and underachieving disappointment.

Interesting stat on the bracketology show. We are 15-0 when scoring 65 pts. 1-5 when scoring less than 65.

Only single bid leagues can select a replacement from their conference. Multi bid leagues just pull from the first four out.

What happens when the first four out is used up?

Probably start having forfeits. The replacement teams only happens between now and Tuesday night.

I believe they had a big turnaround in their season.

They were 6-5 with no impressive wins (beat USF by 1) and losses to VCU by 11, W Kentucky by 6, and just lost their second game to Tulsa.

Since then, they are 10-3 with losses to SMU by 2 and 2 losses to Houston by a total of 5 points. Their 10 wins were by an average of 15 points.

Memphis with a 1 seed in the NIT. If any of their fans are on here, I’m super happy for you guys. Best of luck.

According to 2020-21D1MBB_TournamentReplacementPolicy.pdf (ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com), 2.b.vi, any replacement team that doesn't get into the NCAA Championship, will still be a No. 1 seed in the NIT. Does that mean that Memphis will lose their No. 1 seed if there are no replacements necessary?

Any of the four replacement teams that does not make it into the NCAA championship would still be a No. 1 seed in the NIT and compete in the first round of that tournament March 17-20.

No Memphis got a 1 seed because Louisville declined an invite to the NIT

On talent, they should be up there (or better) with Houston.

If GM or KS (and one year in, I’d may have to included IB for now) had UofM’s roster, they’d be national title contenders.

Memphis should win the NIT hands down

Depends on if Penny can motivate them. He was able to play the "Houston screwed us" angle to get them to play well vs Houston but I dunno if that will carry over to the NIT

[Woodrow]

If Memphis and SMU win their first round game they will play each other in the 2nd round.

Good question.

On talent alone I agree. Just depends how serious they take it.
