BACATOLOGY 2/26: NCAA TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS

[bac2therac]

James Madison survived an upset bid by Georgia State to move to 26-3

 

[bac2therac]

Seton Hall playing like *** down 33-16 to Creighton

Ole Miss up on Alabama in a game that would given their resume new life

 

[bac2therac]

Richmond wins at St Louis 80-64 to continue to stay atop the A10

 

[G- RUnit]

Friars probably done.
Maryland confounding blowing us out on the road, NW wins convincingly at Maryland without two starters.
Samford blown out by .500 Wooford. Could they drop in seeding?
UVA up 4 at BC at the half. I know they play good D and tempo could be a problem but I am not scared of them.
Minny like Iowa is entertaining.
Colorado lives another day.
Tennessee v Auburn was great game.
St. John’s alive.
When SHU has a clunker they really have a clunker.

 

[bac2therac]

Drake in 3rd overtime fighting for their lives

 

[bac2therac]

Providence isnt done by a longshot

 

[bac2therac]

South Carolina wins at Texas A&M....lock them Cocks up. Meanwhile the Aggies now with 13 losses are more or less thru

 

[bac2therac]

Oklahoma put up an anemic 45 up vs Iowa State in a loss. Sooners are not necessarily in trouble but they may need to win one and its Houston, Cincy and at Texas

 

[bac2therac]

St Johns big win at Butler just ended the Bulldogs realistic hopes. Meanwhile with the bubble melting around them are headed up up up but is it too late, with 2 games vs Gtown/DePaul left

 

[bac2therac]

Colorado holds serve vs Cal and continues to hang right there despite a flimsy resume

 

[bac2therac]

Drake wins in 3 overtimes at Illinois-Chicago 107-105

 

[bac2therac]

Seton Hall blown out by Creighton 85-64...wont move them to the first four games but the problem is that UConn is next and another loss will send them into that grouping.

 

[bac2therac]

Virginia clinging to a 3 point lead at BC with 29 seconds to go

a loss tonight puts them in the first four.

 

[bac2therac]

Illinois wrapping up a win over Minnesota. Marked the last chance of any faint Gopher NCAA heartbeat.

 

[bac2therac]

Virginia holds on and wins at BC 72-68

Oregon St at Oregon the only other bubble game of note as the Ducks try to fill the vacuum created by a bunch of bloated power 6 schools collecting 13 losses

 

[kcg88]

Haven't been following the bubble as closely for some reason this year but this thread is still my first stop every morning. Thanks for the rundown bac.

 

[shields]

Same thing happened with maryland two years ago. Won there and came home and Maryland beat us.

 

[shields]

The Johnnies have games with those two horrible teams?

 

[RUJMM78]

The Johnnies have games with those two horrible teams?

Rutgers fans might have to watch St.Johns,Seton Hall and Princeton get NCAA bids.Next season can't come soon enough.

 

[G- RUnit]

Providence isnt done by a longshot

Long shot? They dont beat Nova at home, they are in big trouble. I suppose UConn might not care last game of season …

well you said probably done, right now they are in the field

 

[G- RUnit]

well you said probably done, right now they are in the field

Well I don’t think it’s not by a long shot either. I think they are in trouble.

 

[bac2therac]

LAST 4 BYES: NEVADA, MISSISSIPPI STATE, SETON HALL, VIRGINIA
LAST 4 IN: GONZAGA, WAKE FOREST, PROVIDENCE, NEW MEXICO

FIRST FOUR OUT: UTAH, VILLANOVA, COLORADO, JAMES MADISON
NEXT FOUR OUT: KANSAS STATE, IOWA, DRAKE, SAINT JOHN'S
ON DECK: MEMPHIS, SYRACUSE, PRINCETON, OREGON

 

[bac2therac]

The Johnnies have games with those two horrible teams?

they will move up or down based on what other schools are doing around them. Those two games will not help their profile other than win total. If one conference tourney games might matter this year it would be in the Big East

 

[friar10]

Friars probably done.

St. John’s alive.
When SHU has a clunker they really have a clunker.

Friars are done because they got hammered by the number five team in the country on the road ? They need to beat Villanova sat if they lose that yeah they may be done unless they should beat Uconn which is unlikely.

 

[bac2therac]

Nebby in trouble down 4 with under 4....a win tonight locks them in...a loss and still vulnerable

 

[bac2therac]

Osu up 73-67 under 3 min

 

[bac2therac]

Nebby down 10 with 90 seconds left. They remain on the bubble as a 10 or last 9 seed at best

 

[bac2therac]

Ohio State now on the fringes....wins over Purdue, Alabama, Michigan State, and Nebraska

 

[bac2therac]

Memphis knocks off East Carolina.. remains in contention

 

[G- RUnit]

I just look at resume and sorta underwhelmed.
It’s not that you lost to Marquette, it’s that you got destroyed by Marquette.
Think behind SHU and now St. John’s gets the Pitino love. That’s all.

 

[bac2therac]

Utah clouts Stanford to stay in place awaiting what Gonzaga does tonight

 

[Retired711]

Utah clouts Stanford to stay in place awaiting what Gonzaga does tonight

And at halftime Gonzaga leads University of San Francisco by 1 on the road.

 

[bac2therac]

And at halftime Gonzaga leads University of San Francisco by 1 on the road.

wow it was one point at half and now its 70-48 Gonzaga...this is a Q1 road win for the Zags so they are in and quite possibly above the first four but we shall see in the morning

Washington State rallied from way back to oust USC and avert a big disaster for their seeding.

 

[bac2therac]

for ***** and giggles...had Rutgers beaten Maryland and stood at 16-12 now they would have been somewhere around the St Johns spot maybe ahead maybe behind so 8/9th team out so that was a missed opportunity and now we are not even on the board for consideration

 

[BigEastPhil]

Ohio State now on the fringes....wins over Purdue, Alabama, Michigan State, and Nebraska

Bac - Incredibly been hearing a lot on Ohio State as of late given their recent wins vs Purdue / Sparty / Nebraska etc.

When you say Ohio State is on the “fringes “ - are they like at “next four out” ish ?

 

[bac2therac]

Have to wait until new numbers get crunched tomorrow but they might make it to 10th or 11th out

Realistically its a big longshot

 

[HallX2]

We get rolled in Omaha and then Palm
Puts us in his bracket. Really? How can anyone continue to defend this guy.

I know not supposed to say this committee would do anything to get/keep the Zags in.
Pretty sure same for Nova. If they beat Providence….
St. John’s and Pitino approaching the same.
