Bracket Reveal top 16

[auror]

The first bracket reveal of the season is happening at 12:30 during our game. Any predictions? Will we be in or out?

BracketMatrix has us as a 4 (S-curve #13), but some do have us as a 5.

 

[UofCT]

I think we are 15 or 16

I think we'll be on the 4 line, and Marquette will be a low 3/high 4. Xavier just outside looking in.

 

[Hi-Low]

Should be in top 16 you would think with NET at #8.......I imagine on the 4 line around 14 but outside shot at 3 line.

UConn has 4 wins in NET top #15, don't know if anyone exceeds that but pretty good stat imo.

I'm putting my money on a 3-seed.

This is what my crude model spits out (1/3 ave predictive metrics, 1/3 ave resume metrics, 1/3 quad 1+2 win%):

	Final Rank	Seed
Alabama	1	1
Houston	2	1
Purdue	3	1
Kansas	4	1
UCLA	5	2
Arizona	6	2
Baylor	7	2
Texas	8	2
Gonzaga	9	3
Virginia	10	3
Tennessee	11	3
Marquette	12	3
Saint Mary's	13	4
UConn	14	4
Xavier	15	4
San Diego St	16	4
Miami	17	5
Iowa St	18	5
Kansas St	19	5
Indiana	20	5

Pretty close to the Bracket Matrix, only differing on a couple of the 4 seeds (2 seedlines higher on SDSU).

A 50/50 blend of just resume and predictive has us as a 3 seed.

 

[Hi-Low]

UConn outside the top 16....committee chair said UConn was close so likely a 5 seed right now. Have some work to do to make the 3 line in their eyes....need to close strong.

Indiana over UConn makes no sense whatsoever. They're worse in every metric.

 

[king conn]

Looks like the metric they used specifically for us was the AP top 25 poll.

 

[SubbaBub]

Committee won't gift us MSG. Need a run to leave no doubt. It's hard to argue us above X since they beat us twice.

 

[YoungFree]

NCAA playing it safe

Exactly

 

[Fishy]

They’re better in the “not losing to Xavier“ metric.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Looks like the metric they used specifically for us was the AP top 25 poll.

They eyeball fan confidence as expressed in social media.

 

[Rico444]

Looks like we'll have to make the Big East Tournament finals to crack the top 4 seeds. Crazy

 

[August_West]

We did this to ourselves.

But….The metrics ?

Nah I think we get there before BET

Andre Jackson needs to be in attack mode like this all the time. ESPECIALLY in transition.

 

[Hurleyman216]

A win is a win. If we were allowed to play D as physical as Seton Hall does we’d be undefeated. They had 40+ fouls by my estimate.

 

[Dove]

Andre is The Answer. We excel when he does. We fail when he does.

That's the story until we have a Caron, Kemba, Rip, Bazz or Khalid.

That missed air ball that Jackson almost turned into a 180 dunk would have been hands down the play of the year in all of college basketball

We had 40+ mistakes, unforced.

 

[Umami Zen]

Helpful that Richmond did not complete the game.. Great D/Boards.. Thought Andre had an excellent bounce-back game and Diarra had a great floor game.. SH is a tough/gritty team.. Can we keep the ball out of Sanogo's hands in the last three minutes of the game? LOL..Made most of our FTs.
Needed the win goin' into Wed..

We had some unforced mistakes, but when you get mugged after every rebound and constantly hacked it will cause some unforced errors as well.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I guess Joey California is out of the rotation.

For the first time all year he looked confident attacking the rim. Hopefully it wasn't just a blip and he can keep it up through the rest of the year, because he needs to be a net positive when he's on the court.

 

[Punkbo]

I’m very happy with this game. We’re all a bit uncomfortable with the lackluster finish, but the team played well. We’re one of the few teams in the country who can go 8 or 9 deep. If we limit turnovers, I like our chances on a neutral court for both tournaments.

 

[Mets1432]

Team gets so tight at the end of games.

Need to start running the offense before the 10 second mark on the shot clock.
