Bracketology and Selection Sunday Discussion

Xavier moving into bubble position, too, possibly.

The lowest seed Ohio State has ever received in the NCAA tournament is 10. It looks like that will change this year.

I will take any seed they decide to give us as long as we somehow end up Dancing after this rough, rough season.

Yep and many of the 5/6 teams are beatable even for OSU

Would rather be a 10-11 seed than be an 8-9 seed, TBH. I want no part of the #1 seed in a potential 2nd rd matchup.

I feel the 6-11 seeds are pretty much interchangeable every yr in the tourney and it's more about how teams are playing coming into the NCAA Tournament and personnel matchups than anything else.

I think that win takes OSU off the 12 line (last 4 in) and maybe puts them in the 10-11 range as long as they don't lay an egg vs. MSU and are competitive.

Longhorns steaming towards 16-16. It would seem unfair for a 16-16 team to be given an at-large bid to the tournament, just seems like a lot of mediocrity. I gotta give Texas credit for one thing, they find a way to raise the bar on underachievement.

Horns are still within striking distance in this one.... but I'm with u. Don't have any confidence that they can close out a close game. Can't see them in at .500

 

[OhioState001]

Texas is done. No way they put a .500 team in. More room for the Buckeyes

Why the hell is Bill Walton on any TV broadcast? He's got 5 brain cells left and would put 8 PAC 12 teams in the tournament.

But he eats lit candles on live TV. Who is going to fill those shoes?

 

[DZ83CK]

I give up if Texas makes the tournament. 16-16 should pretty much disqualify you automatically for an at-large bid.

 

[DZ83CK]

Texas does have arguments in their favor. Super strong schedule. 7 wins over tournament teams (if OU is in) with 3 of them really strong wins. But a .500 team has never gotten in as an at-large.

 

[mendensa]

I know Q wins are a big topic of discussion, but at some point you have to win games. And 16 losses is a lot no matter how many good ones you have.

WVU gunning for an auto-bid

I watched KU throttle WVU in person at Allen Field House a few weeks ago. WVU is going to need to do something much different this time around bc KU got everything they wanted in that game and WVU had no answer. I see a much closer game than that was but still have the Jayhawks prevailing, playing in front of a home crowd in KC.
