Week 19 Other Games

[Jimdish255]

No matter what most of us will be bleary eyed next Friday night looking at our brackets wondering "WTH just happened? "

I am not saying Bracketmatrix is wrong per se as the committee might really feel that way, but that is bull crap. UConn should be firmly a 3 and if they win against Marquette they should be a 3 tilting towards a 2. How the hell can Baylor be a 2?! They are 20-12 and lost 3 times to Iowa State a team UConn smoked. That is what I am seeing in a lot websites.

Bracketmatrix can't actually "be wrong".

Bracketmatrix is just a listing of the top/most popular/etc brackets out there. Basically of all the bracketologists out there that are good or well known half have UConn as a 3 seed and half have UConn as a 4 seed.

I don't even care about the 2, sign me up for a 3 in the East.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

The uniqueness of Penn State is endearing to me.

First off, it's cool how they're lead by fifth-year do-everything guard Jalen Pickett, who somehow is even better at Penn State than he was in his three years at Siena.

Plus, their style is so, for lack of a better word: wacky.

• 7th in 3PA ratio and 38.9 3p%
• 4th in turnover ratio
• dead last in offensive rebounding and free throw ratio

Rutgers is swarming 3 people into the paint every time Edey touches the ball, and it's working early. Up 12-5 after 5 minutes

 

[firstnline]

Rutgers with the 10 point lead on the Boilers with 13 min to go in the first half.

 

[Waquoit]

Rutgers with the 10 point lead on the Boilers with 13 min to go in the first half.

I tuned in just in time to see Purdue take the halftime lead. I didn't even realize I had the BTN.

It can only be wronged.

It would be nice to see Rutgers pull off the upset. Purdue could actually fall to a 3 with a loss.

"UConn is the 5 seed in the south, where they meet 12 seed College of Charleston in Greensboro". I'm really, really hoping it's nothing like that.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Flipped on the Houston game, where the #1 team in the country, in their conference tourney quarterfinals, is seemingly playing in an almost completely empty arena. My god i do not miss that conference one bit.

 

[REB1094]

Purdue doing everything they can to throw this game away to the Rutgers full court press, but Rutgers just can’t hit their layups. I counted 3 steals that ended in a missed layup or charge in the last few minutes

Looks like Purdue will take it

EDIT: right after I hit send, Rutgers missed another layup lol

 

[firstnline]

Last 3 minutes is taking 3 hours in the Purdue Rutgers game.
Looks like Purdue will hang on.

 

[navery12]

Middle Tennessee misses the tying FT on a potential 4 point play with 13 seconds to go. May catch a break and get the ball back on a rebound out of bounds though

Boiler Up- Quality win against a very good Rutgers team.

 

[storrsroars]

Might've just seen the worst layup attempt ever in the ECU-Houston game. Osar caught a pass under the basket, let his defender fly by, then proceeded to... hit the bottom of the rim.

You know it is March when Big 10 bubble teams are losing as favorites.

I should have articulated it better than I did in my post for you and storrsroars. I wasn't raising my ire with the Bracketmatrix-that would be shooting the messenger. I am just flabbergasted that about 50% of the brackets and bracketologists have UConn as a 4 while, I am assuming, but correct me if I am wrong, many have Baylor as a #2. IMO, and even metrics wise, UConn should be a solid #3 seed as of this time.

Bracketmatrix is an aggregator of over 100 brackets. We have no idea when those brackets were updated. Likely many were not updated after the K-state loss. Only 13 of the 102 brackets have K-state as a 4 seed. Lets hope the people in charge watched the 1st 30 minutes of the UConn game and then changed the channel

There's a date next to each bracket that says when they were updated. The vast majority (like 80) were updated today and about 20 updated yesterday.

The 17 that didn't update today all have Baylor as a 2 and K-State as a 3. That's enough to influence the aggragate.
