#1 seeds dropping like flies
- Thread starter HenryMuto
- Start date
Most, if not all of them should be in the tournament before Indiana or Ohio State.
Doesn't make it good for the P5 bubble teams. Some of these will and should make the field
Only one that has any shot at an at large of the 8 teams that were #1 seeds to fall is Belmont.
Hey now Ohio State was without their leading scorer and leading rebounder and best player for the last 3 games and nearly beat Wisconsin.
They won at Cincinnati and at Creighton and vs Iowa!
I really don’t think this Ohio State team is good at all. They are horrible offensively and can’t shoot, even with Wesson on the floor. Luther Mohammed was a combined 2 for his last ~35 at one point and Andre Wesson was like 2/20. Their resume may get them in, but if they lose to IU at full strength they are in trouble. The good news is, they might sneak into a de facto home game in Dayton.
But they had to face a top5 lottery pick.. And Morant tore them up.
Not so much worried about that conference.. But others could be stretched a bit, as to help in avoiding a ****** team winning it.. Just to go to the NCAAT and get smoked.

The entire Big 10 is garbage imo
I’m still of the belief that regular season champs get the first auto bid
Then, if a different team, the conference tourney champs
Do the at larges after that
Probably not sound logistically but...

This is where I make my annual argument that one bid conference should NOT have a conference tournament (or at least give their auto bid to the conference tournament winner). They should send their regular season champion to the NCAA so they have a better chance of getting a tourney win and more $$$ for the conference (along with more exposure).
Conferences have tried to stack the deck against higher seeds in recent years by giving the lower seeds double and triple byes but that doesn't always work out.

I should add that the NIT is filling up quick if a lot of these teams (as expected) don't make the NCAAs.
