Much less worried about Iowa State than I am about the 2nd game against FAU. I just checked their damn schedule. Holy heck. They played some close games in losses against good teams:

They had closes losses to Arizona and Illinois. These results show they are a very competitive team.
 
I have a question. On the Yard this season there have been a billion Ken this and that with statistics that could melt your gray matter. Did any of that prove correct besides us or was it wasted bytes as far as predicting bids?
 
On March 9th I placed 3 total bets on bubble teams in/out that were all +money underdogs.

I had Virginia (+135) in, St. John's (+185) out, and Villanova (+130) out.

3 cashes.

Say it with me people. Your NET doesn't matter. KenPom and predictives matter less at the bubble. SOR/KPI are King at the bubble. 48 hours before the selection only matters for bid thieves.

The league lost two All-BE players and championship week broke all the wrong ways for us. I don't believe there's any conspiracy, I just think that the league as a whole need to up the OOC.

We tried to this year and even our schedule turned out to be worse than what was on paper. English and Pitino need to go get some games.

They are talented but don't play lockdown D. They will trade baskets. Shannon is a handful to stop off the dribble. Domask is a 6-6 point forward with great body control and backdown post game. Coleman Hawkins is a long, athletic 3 and D.

Not scared of them. It’s NOT about being scared of them. It’s about rewarding regular season performance. You can’t address my question because there’s no good answer for it.

I guess the answer is the committee with every stat and model at their disposal who has spent hundreds of hours the last month on this bracket know more than you?

only thing i'd worry about with uconn is kind of like houston in the aac, they've only played one or two real games since conference play started

i still think you should be fine huskie bros, maybe one bad half or so but you'll overcome it.

I take back my statement a week ago about Cincy being NIT. It doesn't even look like they're that low enough to make it even

I may be strange but I love our bracket. NCAA is throwing the best at us only out of massive respect for our program. It won't work.

Jesus.

If by respect you mean trying to do whatever it takes to get this conference out of the way, then sure, we will go with you there.
 
It'll be funny when MSU beats UNC tho

Also come on..if you're going to just make up the bracket for fun, you might as well have dropped St Peters 1 seed line for a 1v16 rematch against Purdue!

They’re getting universally panned on CBS and ESPN and all over the internet. Not just me, guy. Please tell me how UNC deserved that bracket over UConn.

They loaded the east because they don't want us to win #6. They don't, it separates us from Duke and makes us the leading program over the last 30-40 years.

We are champs and we will be champs again. 6 games to go, let's

WIN THE WHOLE F&*#@ING THING

A memo got missed.

The whole “disrespect” thing was last year’s theme.

This year is “come at me bro”.

Please post in accordance with the proper theme.

Metrics only say so much. Iowa State is a joke of a team. I’ve watched multiple ISU Illinois and Auburn games and I’m just not concerned. We did a very good job of avoiding teams that can smash it from 3 and get Clingan in space except BYU. We got great matchups. Matchups win tournaments not metrics.

They beat Arizona.
 
Cripes. North Carolina got Arizona, Baylor and Alabama as their 2-4.

Baylor lost 10 games. Alabama lost 11. Both lost by double digits in the conference tourney. Arizona limped home and lost to a not-even-on-the-bubble Oregon team in the PAC 12.

Seems crazy that the worst 1 by a mile has the softest regional.

At the end of the day we will have to win the games in front of us. The large conferences threatening to break away and have their own tournament might well be impacting leagues like the Big East in terms of bids and seeds. Smaller conference teams like Indiana State and Seton Hall were the ones snubbed.
