NCAA Tourney Talk

I think at 21-10 and all but 1 loss coming to teams in Ken Pom's top 50 Baylor probably sneaks in. They would have pretty much guaranteed it with a win yesterday. As it is, I'm guessing they end up one of the last few in.

There are alot sucky teams this year. Almost none of the bubble teams are helping thier case by going one and done in their conference tourney

[1972Shocker]

I don't know if I would call the majority of bubble teams "sucky", but most do have a hole or two in their lineups and perhaps have been a little inconsistent playing very well at times and very poorly at times.

[RoyalShock]

I don't know how close Arkansas is/was to the bubble, but they're about to hop off to safety with a win over Vandy.

nice victory for the Hogs

heres Lunardi ltest brackett. Hes got Ill State state in, by Lunardi they should be safe because he dont even have them as the last 4 in, and he even has them rising. Interesting matchups for both valley teams. Lunardi has them matched up with pac 10 teams.

From Lunardi:

Illinois St
Only a disastrous MVC title game performance could have damaged the Redbirds. Well, a 30-point hammering with everyone watching certainly qualifies as a disaster.

Why seeded here?
With no Top 50 wins, it's going to be an awfully long week at Illinois State.

May change because:
Will finishing second in a down Valley be a positive or a negative for the Redbirds?

Good Wins
RPI 1-25: none
RPI 26-50: Creighton, @Creighton

Bad Losses
RPI 101-200: @Bradley, @Northern Iowa, @Indiana State
RPI 201+: @Eastern Michigan

Our friends from Lawrence stinking it up in the first half agaisnt Nebraska.l

Nebraska up 27-22 at the half.

Not that KU is at risk of missing the dance. But a loss to Nebraska would be embarrassing and could have some impact on their seeding.

KU will probably come back and win it, but so far they seem somewhat disinterested in the proceedings.

KU won easily. 64-54.

Michigan with the offensive show of the day losing to Wisconsin 51-34.

[BA2929]

TAM and KSU in a battle. 26-26 with 7:00 left in the 1st.

[1972Shocker]

St. Joe's upset of #12 Xavier in the A-10 semis may not be great news for Illinois State and other bubble teams.

[martymoose]

KU won easily. 64-54.

sarcasm?

[1972Shocker]

Texas A&M sneaks by K-State 63-60.

Texas A&M probably punched its ticket to the dance tonight.

K-State is probably in also, but its seeding may have taken a hit by its performance down the stretch.

A comment from a KSU fan:

"We don't deserve post season play. Not even the NIT with the performance tonight. Oh and Billy, please go pro. I would love to see a team again. What happened to the Bill from the six games last year?"

Man, that hurts. Sad but true.
