I was thinking a Seton Hall vs Minnesota game would be fun. 8-9 game possibly?

definitely possible...we could also see a SHU-Syracuse matchup in a 8-9 game

 

[King of S]

Belmont needs to be in. TCU very weak conference record this year.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

Good job as always Bac

 

[gordel1]

No arguments here except I think Oklahoma and Washington are on thinner ice than people realize. Also, could swap Ohio St and ASU. However, my gut tells me the Kaleb Wesson suspension is why you gave them the bye. One thing also worth considering with ASU's win over then #1 Kansas is that is when Kansas was at full strength not the watered down version that lost a bunch of games later in the season. Think Ohio St replaces Temple here though on last four in and have Temple out with ASU getting the last bye.

at the expense of TCU? Probably not, TCU did sweep Iowa State who won the Big 12 tourney, that helped them.

at the expense of Washington, I would say yes

 

[bac2therac]

Oklahoma is fine

wins over Wofford, Florida, Kansas, TCU2x, Creighton..those are as good wins or better than ASU, also sos is 28 and they didnt play one game vs a Q4 school

 

[RUinPinehurst]

NC State is "out."

 

[bac2therac]

hopefully not

 

[gordel1]

Wow Belmont and Temple in the play in. Didnt see either of those teams.

 

[King of S]

Belmont in! Who’s out??

 

[bac2therac]

ASU, St Johns, TCU, or Ohio State

One is out

 

[bac2therac]

Kudos to committee for rewarding the little guy...and they will beat Temple

 

[gordel1]

or NC State

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Wofford....wow....7 seed

 

[bac2therac]

Well deserved...poor SHU

 

[bac2therac]

Got one wrong

TCU out Belmont in

Not bad and love they put Belmont in

 

[bac2therac]

I am going toot my horn on NC State not making it. Been calling it for weeks

 

[shields]

And the Johnnies beat VCU by a point, where people thought there was a foul at the end of the game. I saw the shot and thought kid was fouled, announcers thought the same.

Saw this coming....TCU weak conference record.

 

[RUinPinehurst]

St. Johns? "Turrble," as Chas Barkley would say.

 

[bac2therac]

Palm, Lunardi and Bac had same 68 in and all missed on Belmont

 

[gordel1]

Big East got no respect with the seeding. I thought Washington as a 9 is way too high. ASU was way closer to being out than I thought. The head of the committee said they are looking at losses greater now which hurt ASU obviously and almost knocked them out. I actually think if ASU beat Oregon in the Semis of the PAC 12 tourney they still would have been in the play in game.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Great job Bac.

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

I knew they'd match Oklahoma and Ole Miss 8/9

if ASU beat Oregon, they would have trounced Washington in the finals

[bac2therac]

I dont think SHU is happy about being 10 and getting Wofford. Still not sure why Marquette should be seeded ahead of Nova...actually Marquette has the tougher game IMO

 

[superfan01]

Great job @bac2therac . I always enjoy your stuff. One day they will name this board after you.

And kudos on NC stare. You were early.

Didn’t even make last four out.

 

[bac2therac]

I loved Belmont, should have had the balls to put them in....but even if I had them in, I would have taken SJU out not TCU
