NCAA Tournament

[uneblinstu]

Wisconsin is the first Big Ten Team on the board on the #8 line. That seems low to me. May not bode well for the rest of the conference.

 

But then there's MSU at #9...

Purdue is a #4.

[uneblinstu]

Jays get Rhode Island and if they win, likely a matchup with Dana Altman and Oregon. Interesting...

 

Midwest Region should be really entertaining.

[hskr4life]

I like the MSU KU matchup in the second round.

 

I could see Rhode Island taking down the Jays.'

 

Michigan is hot and could knock off Louisville in the second round.

 

Wiscy could take down Nova as well.

[uneblinstu]

Wow, Minnesota as a #5!

[hskr4life]

Minny at the 5 seed!?!?

 

and could lose....

So far, we have beaten a...

 

#7 Seed- Dayton

#4 Seed- Purdue

[uneblinstu]

Man, Wichita's a #10. Kentucky and UCLA ain't gonna be thrilled to see them in that region.

[hskr4life]

This could be a tough year to just get all Sweet 16 teams right...

[hskr4life]

Zags get the 4th #1 seed.... thought Duke might steal it.

 

Mike D going for the 16 V 1 upset

Oh, wow, I didn't think SDSU would be a 16. That could be a touch match-up for the Zags!

I could see SDSU getting that first 16 V 1 win... they certainly have a great shot.

That is a sweet FSU FGCU matchup!

As good a shot as any. Not sure how they deal with Gonzaga's back court, but that front court matchup will be fun to watch.

[hskr4life]

The best part...

 

AWIII will be playing as many NCAA Tourney games as the Huskers this year.

[uneblinstu]

No Cuse! No Iowa!

[KearneyMan]

Its GREAT no Syracuse!!!!!!!! Serves you right AWIII!!!

[hskr4life]

Better hope NBA Scouts watch the NIT, cause it's too late to transfer again.

I like that SDSU team, but I think they are playing the worst matchup as far as 16v1 goes for them. Gonzaga is loaded and I'm assuming Daum is gonna have to guard the man-mountain that is Przemek Karnowski. Not a good matchup

Also, #6 Maryland.

 

That's one win at home, one win on the road, and one win on a neutral court.

 

Just too many losses.

 

We were 3-12 by my count against teams in the tournament.  That means we were 9-7 against teams not in the tournament.

That stat right there is what separates the post-season teams and the sit at home and watch teams.

[brfrad]

I just hope next year we are watching the selection show to see where we are going to play our NCAA tournament game.  C'mon Tim and team, let's make that happen.

Has anybody run into a breakdown by conference? Bonus for seeds next to those numbers? 

 

As uneblinstu said, this bracket has a lot of intriguing matchups.

[brfrad]

ACC = 9 teams; avg. seed 5.1; Highest: 1; Lowest 11

Big East = 7 teams; avg. seed 7.4; Highest 1; Lowest 11

Big Ten= 7 teams; avg. seed 6.7; Highest 4; Lowest 9

Big 12= 6 teams; avg. seed 5.7; Highest 1; Lowest 11

SEC= 5 teams; avg. seed 6.0; Highest 2; Lowest 9

Pac 12= 4 teams; avg. seed 4.8; Highest 2; Lowest 11
