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.
-
Reminder that you have 3 hours to get me your lists by PM or post.

My thoughts on the lists: Gonzaga TEAM WHOM SHALL NOT BE NAMED (and won't count) Xavier Florida State Remainder of the teams that are in: 21. West Virginia 22. Purdue 23. Arizona State 24. Marquette 25. BYU 26. California 27. Oklahoma State 28. Wisconsin 29. Texas 30. Tennessee 31. Utah 32. LSU 33. Michigan 34. Boston College 35. Texas A&M 36. Butler Auto Bids: Siena N Iowa Cleveland St. WKU VCU NDSU Portland St. Cornell ETSU Robert Morris Morehead St. Radford Chattanooga

Now, now, I just started this committee, I'm not a wise man. ;)
-
No love for Michigan State.
-
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.
-
Well, according to this committee so far, they're currently 6th on the bubble list with potentially 9 bubble spots left (pending conference tourney results). So, they're right in the ballpark as long as they don't kill their chances against Indiana.
-
Reminder to PM me or post those 3 lists before the end of the night.
-
BYU held off pesky Air Force to keep their lock status intact.
-
Their road/neutral record is damaging for them at 5-10, with only one "neutral" win against even a decent team (Gonzaga).
-
Well, at least Georgia won't be pulling a Georgia this year.
-
Well what do you expect from a conference with 5 (yes, 5) out of conference D1 wins? Oh, I know. The winner of that conference could lose the play-in game by 20. However, if the 1 or 2 seed wins the conference tourney, they probably won't get slotted in the play-in game on account of the MEAC-SWAC pity rule. So, instead, they'll lose to UNC by 70. EDIT: The best OOC win for the conference, by FAR, was a 1-point victory over Morehead State by Grambling. Of course, Grambling finished last in the SWAC and couldn't even make the conference tournament.
-
Texas squeaks by Kansas State, and will play Baylor in the semifinals.
-
Today, on "How bad is the SWAC?": Jackson State went 1-11 in non-conference. They're the 2-seed in the SWAC tournament.
-
Well, it wasn't a bad loss, but they've really struggled down the stretch, Clemson/Marquette-style (tough schedule at end of year). However, where Clemson/Marquette can afford to tumble from a 2-3 seed to a 5-6 seed, Arizona really couldn't afford to tumble from a 9-10 seed. I think they're done, but a lot of committee members liked them, likely because of some good non-con wins.
-
Marquette the most impressive team ever to lose one of its best players then proceed to lose five of six, right? The schedule had as much to do with that as anything, but...yeah. :)
-
Oh, Marquette. Fought all the way back from at 16-point second half deficit to take a brief one-point lead with 20 seconds left, only to see Villanova win it with a layup at the buzzer.
-
Says more about the Cubs bench than anything else, IMO. ;) -
Georgia Tech 86, Clemson 81. Clemson loses 4 of 5 to close out the year. Michigan 73, Iowa 45. BYU struggling with Air Force midway through the second half. Villanova about to blow a 16-point lead against Marquette.
-
I think that should be emphatic enough to render tomorrow's result meaningless...unless they go and lose by 30 or something. Considering Illinois' offense the past 3 weeks, winning by 30 would require them to hold Michigan to 12 points.
-
It's an Alford thing, mostly.
-
Michigan is 10-20 from three-point range and shooting 60% from the field overall. Doesn't look like this is going to be Iowa's year to win the Big Ten.
-
Speaking of bad losses, Clemson is trailing Georgia Tech by 10 with 3 minutes to play.
-
Actually, the record TT listed vs. the top 50 includes the top 25 also, so for instance Kansas is 9-4 against the top 50.
-
Like I said, I'd bump Washington and Villanova ahead of them pending today's results (Villanova leads Marquette by 16 at the half), and possibly Missouri or UCLA if they won their conference tournaments. Beyond that, there's too much of a gap between them and the other teams on that list.
