Message: [QUOTE="6Nattys4Us, post: 5220633, member: 13819"] On that bracketmatrix we are nominally the last 8, some show 9s for us, a couple of 7s if you scroll to the right. 7s: - a lot of volatility to keep them all at 7 1. BYU plays Houston today - let's go Cougars let BYU fall to an 8 2. Missouri plays Florida today - let's go Seminoles, err, Gators drop Missouri down to an 8 3. Kansas - lost yesterday 4. Marquette - won but plays St. John's. And beating a team 3x in a season is rough - we already beat Marquette 2x, so let's play St. John's! 8s: 1. Gonzaga - won and auto bid likely stays or rises as a matter of 7s losing. 2. Memphis - likely to win American and rise to 7 or 6 3. Mississippi St - lost yesterday 4. UConn - we are on a bender now! Post-season record over last 3 seasons running at 16-0: [LIST] [*]2022-2023: 6 in a row [*]2023-2024: 9 in a row including BET. [*]2024-2025: 1 in a row...so far....if we win two more, 18-0 heading into a dance and no one will want to dance with us. [/LIST] So there is some wiggle room especially with 3 of 4 7s likely to or already has lost and an 8 already lost. And some 6's are in for trouble in their tourney - UCLA plays Wisconsin, Illinois plays Maryland. So while the committee usually doesn't give credence to conference tournaments, when you have so many teams log jammed at 22-9 before they start it gives clarity once the tourney's finishes as some go to 22-10, others 25-9 and that includes NET rating changes, Quad 1 and 2 W/L changes and you start to see changes in seeding not inclusion. Even which team is #1 - #4 gets mixed around based on conference tourney variances. [/QUOTE]
