Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4552410, member: 833"] We are at the point of the season where teams that had major injuries, and now have those players back, get reconsidered in that light. The Committee may do nothing, but there are a few teams whose seasons were impacted by injuries, but now those teams are full strength and playing better. Creighton is in the field, but it will be interesting to see how they are seeded given that they went 0-4 when Kalkbrenner was sick, and have looked like a Top 10-15 team with him healthy. USC had a tough run without two of their starters, but at 100%, they look pretty good. They still have to beat ASU and can’t have a bad loss in the PAC 12 tournament. An interesting team is Villanova. The Committee has said repeatedly over time that its purpose is to select the best teams for the NCAA tournament. Villanova, with Moore and Whittier at 100%, has not proven it is one of those teams yet, but it could. If Villanova wins its next 2, and then 2 more in the Big East Tournament, they might get into the discussion depending on how many bubble teams face plant in their conference tournaments. I am expecting that to be a big number. We should expect Villanova’s “A” game this weekend, because they have a shot to play themselves into the Tournament. [/QUOTE]
