I'm guessing that HerHoopStats will wait until Sunday/Monday to get the conference tourney results. No changes to top 16 other than Bama and Ole Miss swapping their 4 spots in the 1 & 3 bracket. [INDENT][I]The mining and reassessing of data never stops. After losing Wednesday, Minnesota dropped to the last team in the field. Upon further review, the Gophers are out of the projection, even though no other bubble teams stepped forward. Virginia Tech, even after a loss Thursday, is now the last team in the field. Why do the Hokies have the edge? Each team has advantages over the other in different areas, although none of the numbers are pretty. Minnesota has lost five of its past six games. Virginia Tech has dropped four of six. The Hokies' 1-7 record in Quad 1 games is just better than Minnesota's 0-6, but the Gophers have a better NET rating (38 to 46). The biggest problem with Virginia Tech's candidacy is four losses (including two at home) against teams not in NCAA tournament consideration (Virginia, Syracuse, Stanford and Boston College); the Gophers have no such losses. But the Hokies' 3-7 record against tournament teams (Minnesota is 2-11) ultimately puts them in the field. Nothing illustrates the weakness of this season's bubble than this battle for the final spot.[/I][/INDENT] [ATTACH type="full" width="458px"]107519[/ATTACH] Big Ten - 12, SEC - 10, ACC - 9, Big 12 - 7, Ivy - 3, Big East - 2. Still not seeing 12 teams from the B10, but what do I know. [ATTACH type="full" width="186px"]107520[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
