2009 NCAA Tournament Mock Selection Committee

[CubInOK]

If Penn State beats Indiana I think there in if they lose to Indiana I think they are out. Of course another win would make it safer still.

 

if Penn State loses to Indiana after amassing a 20 point lead in the 2nd half, they should fire everyone

 

Villanova almost did it earlier lol.

 

Indiana isn't exactly Marquette

Texas Tech is pretty close, though.

 

Anyway, my 4 team list is:

Florida State

Xavier

Illinois

Gonzaga

 

I'll have the rest up later.

[Coach C]

Oh, and FWIW, I had a feeling the way Baylor was playing yesterday, that they could potentionally upset KU.

 

If Baylor plays like that (which they should had been capable of) they could have easily contend for a NCAA Tourny Dance. If they win out, then they're are in.

[Prior4CyYoung]

There going to have to beat Texas then winner of Ok Ok St

[SouthSideRyan]

Baylor is not winning the Big 12 tourney. They don't play defense and are horribly coached.

Rhode Island lost to Duquesne in the A-10 quarters.

UNLV lost by 15 at home to San Diego State in the MWC quarters, marking the third time UNLV has lost to SD State this year.

Rhode Island lost to Duquesne in the A-10 quarters.

UNLV lost by 15 at home to San Diego State in the MWC quarters, marking the third time UNLV has lost to SD State this year.

 

I agree on both.

[Exile on Waveland]

A very wise man on this board didn't have Oklahoma on his top line. Something tells me others will now start to come around to his way of thinking.

I'll be shocked if they get past Texas.

[Vanilla Ice]

OK, I believe Oklahoma should be moved down to 7 or 8 on the S-Curve after their loss. West Virginia and Oklahoma State should be placed higher now than the lists that came in a couple hours ago. Miami, Providence, Rhode Island, Notre Dame and Northwestern should all be removed from bubble discussion. Arizona should be moved down the list a lot of spots.

 

The bubble should look something like this.

 

Ohio State

Dayton

South Carolina

Maryland

Penn State

Virginia Tech

Minnesota

Utah State

St. Mary's

Arizona

UNLV

New Mexico

Auburn

Creighton

Florida

San Diego State

I'll leave those 15 on the bubble, but Creighton and St. Mary's need pretty much all those other bubble teams to lose and lose soon. Some others (the ACC and SEC teams) need to win at least 2 total(some 3) to play themselves in. I'd guess a couple of these teams will play their way in, the last 2 or 3 are gonna back their way in.

[Prior4CyYoung]

Big 12 is really showing how weak of a league they really are. Oklahoma should not have been a 1 to begin with there definitely a 2 seed now. Now I think it just depends on who does better Michigan State or Louisville as to who should get that 1 seed.

[ISUCubsFan]

I'll probably be back later tonight with actual analysis, but in case I'm not I'll put this up now. Move Utah and/or Cal down 1 spot if they lose tonight.

If both choke if could open the door for Memphis

[SouthSideRyan]

I probably don't agree with any of these, but do any of these teams deserve considerations if they continue runs to the finals?

 

Temple(A win over Xavier, close loss to Dayton)

Duquesne(Win over Dayton, close loss to Xavier)

USC(Wins over Cal and UCLA, close loss to Washington)

Miss St. (Wins over South Carolina and LSU, close loss to TN)

[Vanilla Ice]

No

 

Maybe USC but they would have to have other teams really choke

Let me put it this way...I'd have Creighton, St. Mary's, Utah State, the 3 Big Ten bubble teams and Dayton over them no matter what those 4 teams do from here on out. Also, as the SEC tournament goes, I don't think there's a single team that can help their position by advancing in it.

[bukie]

Oh, and with Providence's loss, the Big East auto bid has to go to a team already locked into the field, so that last at-large opened up. So, if every other tournament is won by a team not already in the field, the current field is final.
