There will also be a Top 16 Reveal this week...we missed out on the Top 16 in the initial Reveal which was right after our worst game of the year at KSU.

The 2/8 update to ESPN's Bracketology is up has us as a 3 seed.

I found another site that does a weekly bracketology and they have us at a 5 seed.

It will be interesting to see how this goes...our NET ranking is relatively poor compared to our record. We are presently at #28. But if you look at the nitty gritty report underlying we do very well with a 9-3 Quadrant 1 record...only South Carolina and Stanford have a better Quad 1 record and NC State is also 9-3.

I think our relatively poor NET is due to the algorithm has an emphasis on defensive stats rather than offensive stats. The algorithm probably also punishes us for our turnovers.

That is interesting to me. I never knew about those defensive and turnover algorithms. Actually I never know about any algorithms. Thanks Soonercuda.
 
That's a pretty big jump from 12th anf 14th.

We've got some really tough games ahead of us. I'd love it if we can win out, but I'm thinking one or two more losses in the last seven games.
