What Is Your NCAA Tourney Seed Prediction?

[TEvans4Three]

Again, there is a difference between “no bad losses” and no losses to bad teams. Getting blown out multiple times by teams in 30s and 40s in the NET is damaging to our resume because the committee wants to see how you do against tournament teams.

What is a blowout to you?

 

[StoopsBros]

Michigan State needs to be out. They just aren't a tourney team, in my opinion.

Personally, I'd rather see if Indiana State can win a game or two over watching Michigan State again.

What is a blowout to you?

Well, all but three of our losses are by double digits, and one of those three was by nine. In all 8 of those games, the outcome was determined by probably around the 8:00 minute mark. Those are not competitive games. There was zero chance of us winning.

NET	Team	Lost By
7​	UNC	12​
39​	TCU	9​
18​	Kansas	12​
25​	Texas	15​
30​	Taco Tech	1​
62​	UCF	11​
14​	Baylor	17​
18​	Kansas	10​
9​	Iowa St	13​
1​	Houston	2​
25​	Texas	14​

But you said 30s and 40s, which would classify only 1 of those games of 10+ pts lost.

Ok, that’s fair. I forgot that Texas has improved their NET so much. It still isn’t a great look that we haven’t been able to compete better against those teams.

The Athletic has us in and as a 9 but said that the loser of our game could slide to the bubble. They didn’t say this part, but I’ll add that if we lose, it better not be another noncompetitive loss. They whipped us in Ft Worth and if it happens again on a neutral floor, that is no bueno.

Agreed that it would not be good if it wasn't competitive

Still a 9 in Lunardi's updated bracket.

Still a 9. OU is in. I think we had a shot at 19-13, but thankfully we won't find out

per this 9 at large teams behind OU as you said OU is in great shape ..

also not many bid thieves remain ..

WCC now has none after the St marys and zags win last night (they are both in)


Providence and iowa being just out .. is actually good for OU neither would pass OU IMHO so hope they both keep winning (but not their tourney) same with ksu

Updated Bracket - Using Bracket Matrix and bracketing rules

 

[Moneyball]

Looks like we’re a 9 seed. I hope we get put in Tennessee’s region, since we would be playing a 1 seed in the second round. Don’t want to play Houston, Purdue, or UConn lol.

Texas & Tech are sitting around the 8 seed with us as a 9, which will dictate our placement depending on where they land.

 

[BoulderSooner]

OU a 9 on espn's most recent update (1am today)

 

[TEvans4Three]

Bracketologists has us slated in the 11 spot ...

[IndySooner]

Looking at the bubble according to Bracket Matrix:

Last Four In:
Indiana State
St. John's
Virginia
Colorado

First Four Out:
New Mexico
Texas A&M
Villanova
Wake Forest

Essentially, TCU has an 8-team cushion. I would imagine ours would be the same if we lose today. That puts us pretty solidly in. There have not been any bracket busters in the mid-major conferences, outside of maybe Drake. Good year to be just outside the bubble because we're pretty solidly in at this point even with a little chaos in the major conferences.

That's lower than anyone on Bracket Matrix has us, FYI.

Very much so.

It should be noted, bracketologists uses the NET system to rank STRICTLY. So they are just down the list by rank for their bracket. Nothing else is factored in like, SOR, Q1 wins...etc. So it is not accurate, just a neat look at it NET wise
