This thread is an epic failure. You are the vast majority of the posts in the thread. Sometimes you’re even answering yourself lol. As you can see no one cares LMFAO.
This thread gets a lot of views, but not as many posts. Not a ton of controversy to drive responses, except from people like you saying the thread is meaningless, lol

BYU beats Iowa State

I have been struggling with both schools seeding. With Iowa State they have been jostling back from 3 to 4 and back again. With Wisconsin profile dimming I have moved them back to 3...I may still keep them there despite the loss

with BYU they have been moving up every week but have been stuck on moving them beyond a 7 but a 6 certainly in reach now.

Feel free to move Maryland up to 3 in place of Iowa State, ha ha...

Cool, did not know about their ceiling based on the super-lame out-of-conference schedule...
yeah I think even if they win the Big 10 tourney they are likely to still be a 4. With all the Big 10 schools around 4 and 5, I dont see any contingency bracket based on whether Maryland beats Michigan State

So Arkansas/Ole Miss goes to wire and Ole Miss pulls it out on the last possession. Arky still in the tournament..we shall see if they play in Dayton. I moved Ole Miss earlier to a 5 seed but could see where they might be a 6

does Nova making the big east final (3 more wins over UConn, Creighton, SJU/Marquette) get them in?

likely no....the Columbia loss is one too many but they will be close...the thing is you cant make a resume in a few days

would need alot of help around the bubble.

North Carolina passed the eye test looking excellent down the stretch to pull away from Wake 68-59. Night and day on how they handled the slim lead with 2 minutes left and Rutgers last night

Do they have to beat Duke..maybe maybe not

Wake will be up on the board for consideration but realistically their hopes popped this afternoon

New Mexico advances to the Mountain West semis. Lobos are pretty much a lock to land somewhere on the 8/9 line

Texas holding a slim lead over A&M 55-53 with just under 10 minutes to go. With a victory, theLonghorns could vault into the field for now

UNC transfer from Louisville wasn't even playing 10 mins a game now he's getting 30+ and huge part of the offense

Withers has been up and down. Really terrible , then good , then hitting threes. Like all teams the players are inconsistent and that is why they do not have more high level wins.

Longhorns win 94-89 in 2 Ots...huge win

I know i earlier said they might need 3 but with some floundering by Xavier and Indiana and Ohio State...this win might put them back in the field

Doing a quick numbers crunch

Agree on UNC-----I think they're in.

Just one mans opinion but I think X is gonna get squeezed out.

Its a guessing game as to whether committee is already done selecting field

These games might not matter

A questionable Nevada got in a couple years back despite bowing out in Mwc quarters

You and Ru66 should stay out of these threads. He does an excellent job updating as all these games are fluid.
It’s a waste of time and human life and you need to be updated on this? Do you also come to this board for weather updates? I get my weather and NCAA updates from professionals who actually get paid to do the job.
