NCAA Basketball Tournament forecasting

Saint Marys got robbed too.

lol at Florida being a 2 seed.

True. Reminds me of the year ('06 maybe?) that Tennessee was a 2 and ended up almost losing their opening game and getting bounced in round 2. They're good but nowhere near deserving of a 2.

Saint Marys got robbed too.

Why? Their best OOC win is Texas Tech. Their only good win is Gonzaga and they lost twice to the Zags since that win. They also lost their bracketbuster game at home to Utah St.

St Mary's won the regular season crown in the WCC. I always weigh that more heavily than the conference tournament. Other teams had better resumes than St Mary's but Colorado, VaTech, St. Mary's should have easily replaced teams like VCU, Illinois, UAB etc.

I really can't believe Colorado didn't get in.

The big 12 seemed to get slighted as a whole. Texas is better than a 4 seed. A&M is better than a 7 seed. Mizzou as an 11 seed is absurd.

Some head scratchers there.

Didn't UAB win the regular season C-USA crown?

Have they announced which games Gus Johnson is announcing?

Actually, they split it.

Nevermind, found it. He's doing the Cleveland games.

As weak as St Mary's resume was even with UAB winning C-USA conference crown St Mary's was still stronger.

Actually, they split it.

Same difference. A regular season conference title, spilt or not>Conference tourny title to me.

 

[FirstTimer]

St Mary's has wins over St Johns and Gonzaga. They lost to BYU at full strength by 1. Lost to the Zags by 4 in overtime. Split the conference crown and were skirting the edges of the Top 25 most of the season. I guess I don't see anything that sticks out for UAB at all other than winning C-USA...they don't have any real good wins IMO.

Pretty cool. It gives you code names for teams and an approximate seeding. So you pick the whole thing then it shows you how your bracket would look.

edit- Actually not that cool. Pretty easy to figure out who each team is if you know even a little about them.

Saint Mary's bounced round one in the NIT as the 2 seed.

Had me taking Washington to win it all. My final four was Wasington, Texas, Purdue and BYU. I entered all my results on an ESPN Bracket, who knows maybe this blindfold one will somehow be right. Then when I go on Good Morning America I can shoutout VSN and go blue for showing me this.

Utah State's "big" win this year. Can't believe that's the 5/12 upset people are going with.

 

[manchild24]

This may have been answered but I didnt see it. If Duke/UConn/Bucknell are in the WEST brakcet why are they playing their games in NC and DC?

 

[FirstTimer]

I saw that too manchild and have no idea what's up with that.

The Pod System allows certain teams to play round one and round two games in a location that is closer to home

Just another chance for the NCAA to make more money.
