Bracketology Cream?

[azfan]

So ESPN dropped their latest 64 team bracketology by Charlie Cream.

Wonder what insight Cream has?

He has Grand Canyon as the automatic qualifier from the WAC.

WHAT?

I am a huge fan of Coach Molly Miller and the 13 and three Grand Canyon Antelopes. However I think the likelihood of Grand Canyon overtaking the 16 and 0 Cal Baptist team is close to if not zero.

In 2 weeks Grand Canyon travels to Riverside for their two games against Cal Baptist. I guess Cream projects the Lopes will sweep Cal Baptist and vault into first place.

This is so unlikely that it makes me suspect anything that Cream has placed on the ESPN site.

It's even worse than that. UNC's defeat of NC State moved the Tar Heels into the field as the last team in. Hopefully, the Wolfpack Women take care of business in the rematch so we can push them right back out!

His bracket does have some intriguing matchups. NC State with a potential showdown with Iowa State. Virginia Tech and Texas as a first-round game.

I think any matchups reflected on Cream's bracketology are merely imaginary rather than probable.

But to play along with Cream he's got the Arizona kitties set up for a regional game against Mayland. I think that would be a fun game to watch and while it may happen in the tournament I'm really not sure or confident about Cream's current projection.

On the other hand he has the ASU Sun Devils as the seventh team out I do think that's probably appropriate unless the Devils make a miracle run over their last five games with an upset over Arizona or Stanford. Gien the youth of CTT's team I'm not confident that we will take care of business against Washington, Cal, and Washington State.

Cream also has the Trojans one slot above ASU on the top eight out.

Back to the WAC, in conference play Cal Baptist is first in offense first in defense and of course first in the conference. the Lopes are fourth in both categories reflecting the toughness of black play compared to their non-conference schedule.

I really wonder if Cream invests anytime at all and looking at the non-power five conferences. Some of this just reflects in my mind lack of effort or laziness

On the other hand as a Lopes fan if he's privy to some analytic I'd love to hear it. Of course I'm going to be rooting hard for the Lopes in two weeks but they've got a tough Hill to climb against the streaking 16 and 0 Cal Baptist team.

Out of Forum hibernation for one post. Cal Baptist is not eligible for the NCAA tournament. It is only their 3rd year in D1. I think you can dance in year 4, or after year 4.
Cal Baptist also has one of the best pg's in D1. However, NCAA does not include her stats with the other teams because of the teams D1 status(sorry thats BS to me), so it is hard for people to know about her. Her name is Ane Olaeta. CBU should beat the Lopes if their freshman guard, Nicole Avila-Ambrosi is back playing. She hurt her knee in the last game, had ice on it but seemed okay on the bench. IMO Nicole Avila-Ambrosi, is a better all around player than GCU's Scott.
I enjoy your posts on the AZ teams.

Good Luck
Go UConn

Note Cal Baptist just added a game vs Oregon on 2/22/21 at 1pm Pacific. Game should be streamed on WAC network.

Thank you. Very helpful. Had no idea that Cal Baptist had just moved up

Charlie Cream should send you Valentine's for an incremental pop in his perceived knowledge.

Lurking, huh? it's a shame you obviously have a wide, deep body of knowledge to share.
