[GoldenWarrior11]

Indiana remains the most overrated team/resume to me. Indiana is 29th in NET, only five Quad 1 wins (and eight losses), and seven of their ten losses are by double digits (and five were by 15+ points). I still can't believe they would be a top-3 seed.

Rooting interest for the conference if you're planning to watch all weekend

Alabama @ Texas A&M
Kansas @ Texas
Houston @ Memphis
Illinois @ Purdue
Arizona @ UCLA
Iowa st @ Baylor - Marquette wants Iowa st/others Baylor
Kansas st @ West Virginia - Nova wants KSU/others WVU
SJU @ Marquette
Tennessee @ Auburn - Nova wants Tennessee/others Auburn
Michigan @ Indiana - Nova wants Indiana/others Michigan
UCONN @ Villanova
Butler @ Xavier
Louisville @ Virginia
TCU @ Oklahoma
Pitt @ Miami - Providence wants Miami/others Pitt
Wyoming @ SDSU
Creighton @ DePaul
Ohio st @ Michigan st
Duke @ UNC - Nova wants Duke/others UNC
Northwestern @ Rutgers - Nova wants Northwestern/others unclear
Ole Miss @ Missouri
Kentucky @ Arkansas - unclear
Nebraska @ Iowa
Maryland @ Penn st - Nova wants Maryland/others PSU
Seton Hall @ Providence
Florida Atlantic @ Louisiana Tech
Arizona st @ USC - Providence wants ASU/Nova wants USC but honestly it wouldn't be terrible if ASU won because it'd bring USC down to the pack
Boise st @ Utah st - same logic as above for Nova
Mississippi st @ Vanderbilt - Because Nova will pass Vanderbilt anyway if we're still in the picture next week
UNLV @ Nevada
Wisconsin @ Minnesota
Oklahoma st @ Texas Tech - close call
Charleston - They're projected to be out with an early loss, but I'm not risking that chance of CAA stealing a bid
Notre Dame @ Clemson
New Mexico @ Colorado st - not too important
Stanford @ Oregon
UCONN @ Villanova

Whew, that's 37 games.

At this point, I basically just cheer against leagues and teams that I don't want to see make the tourney. UNC? Nope. Wisconsin? Nope.

Would be nice to see several Big Ten bubble teams left out this year.

And Indiana just got run out of their own gym by Iowa. Don't get the Iowa State love, either. I get the general hard on for the Big 12, but they've lost 6 of 7, including home losses to Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. Since Jan 14, they are 4-10. Oh, and just kicked their best 3 point shooter off the team.

Thanks for the rundown, kayako.

Makes me sick to see 10 B10 teams in the field atm, with Michigan just outside.

Barf.

If PC loses today and first round, are they at risk?

If PC loses today and first round, are they at risk?

I don't think so. I think at worst they would be stuck having to go to Dayton. And I don't think that's even too likely.

NET is going to take a dive after losing by that margin at home against a worse team.
