Purdue won at home against Illinois. Ok, we get it. Purdue also lost at Minnesota. Of course, there is no need for an argument whether Purdue OR Illinois deserved 1 bid, as they are both in.
-
Bilas, Syracuse plays in the Big East. That is why their schedule is better. Syracuse didn't play a single game outside New York in the non-conference. Xavier won their league. They deserve a bid.
-
Man, Virginia gets a 4 seed with an RPI of 55. That just seems insane to me. I guess the committee really did ignore VA's non-conference slate.
-
The committee takes a lot of flack, but I really think they got it right this year. Maybe some ACC teams are a bit higher than I would've thought, but overall a nice bracket.
-
Really, if you look at Syracuse's profile, it's not that impressive. Very unimpressive non-conference, and would've had a hard time putting them in before Drexel, and Drexel got left out. And Illinois shouldn't have been in because Wisconsin beat them? That doesn't make any sense.
-
Yep, Stanford in, Drexel out. 64 of 65 teams correct in NSBB bracket. Good work, guys.
-
If Drexel is that last team, we got them all.
-
So, 60 of 60 so far...
-
So, A&M, Memphis, Louisville, Tennessee, Virginia, Xavier, BYU in last bracket.
-
Wow, 50 out of 50 so far.
-
Wow, committee love for USC. And Arkansas is in.
-
See? It ended well for you. That potential elite 8 matchup with Illinois is certainly winnable as well. ;)
-
Got a feeling Drexel is out. So far, 33 out of 33 teams match our bracket though. :)
-
Committee likes Gonzaga.
-
Illinois in. And, as a fan, I LOVE that pod.
-
...in the Midwest. There are still 10-12 bubble spots available.
-
If Purdue is a 9, I don't see how Illinois isn't in. but what gets me is that there were a few bubble teams in with the midwest bracket. Every 9-10-11-12 seed is a bubble team. In the Midwest, there were actually only 3 bubble teams in it, as Winthrop won their conference.
-
Committee didn't like UNLV as much as we did. Otherwise, it's pretty close to our bracket so far.
-
Well, if you get the 2 seed with Kansas, it might be just as well if you're out there. Florida as the #1 overall just makes no sense. Yes, they dominated SEC West teams in the conference tournament, and they dominated the SEC overall, but the SEC simply wasn't that good this year.
-
Committee nonsensical decision #1: Why the heck do you put Florida in the Midwest and Ohio State in the South? There's just no reason to do that.
-
Starts at 6 EDT, 5 central.
-
I think that the conference tournaments don't mean as much as the media pundits think they do, and that the #1s are pretty much all set already in the committee. There's so much else to do in the committee that being concerned about the order of the 6 top teams at this point in the game is pointless.
-
Welcome to watching Illinois basketball. Paint dries faster.
-
Of course, the reason they haven't beaten anyone in the country is that they play offense like they do.
-
One thing I do like about this Illini team is they play defense so well, if they ever have a good shooting game they can beat anybody.
