Lunardi has MTSU as last four in and somehow bumped us to second of first four out.

Maybe the most interesting one to me is Saint Mary's...most think they are in, but what if they aren't?? That essentially opens another spot for someone that wasn't expected before.

WVU somehow up 6 after playing some of the worst offensive basketball that i have ever seen.

Another team that’s looked like trash most of the last 2 months

Hopefully they win today

Where did he do this? Honestly I've been expecting this for a few days. Puts us lower to pump up other teams on his network. Now that most of those teams has lost, he reorders them to be closer to the consensus so if we sneak in he looks a bit better. i think he moves us ahead of Alabama if they lose tomorrow too.

Wouldn't shock me at all if St Marys is out.

I can see the committee punishing them for a terrible SOS. They are one of the teams I would be happy seeing if we manage to find ourself in Dayton

They showed his updated bubble during halftime of WVU/Baylor on ESPN2.

If Saint Mary’s is out MTSU has to be out. SMC has a better resume.

Torvik has MU as the first team out. MTSU gets the last bid.

MTSU’s best wins are Murray State and Old Dominion.

Palm still has MU safely in, and not even in Dayton

Lets hope the committee thinks like Palm...maybe that’s his way of giving the finger to E$PN

Unfortunately Palm has historically been one of the lesser bracketologists. But Lunardi hasn't been too much better. Myself as well as many others have been pumping up Dave Ommen all week, but he had us as the 4th last team in going into today. He has historically been THE BEST at projections.

only sports channel I don't have.

Foul up 3, please.

BM1090 · « **Reply #1516 on:** March 08, 2018, 10:06:08 PM »

Boise State goes down to the Legends of Utah State.

2 positives.

1. This ends their slim hopes of an at large bid.

2. Easier path to the title for Nevada.

I'm still bummed we got routed tonight, but this is still shaping up to be a fun night for college hoops. Butler and Seton Hall are in a tight game with 6 min to play, UNC overcame a 7 minute scoreless drought at the start of the game to mow be up 3 over Miami, and the SC v Arkansas game is a one possession game with 6 min to go.

Who doesn't love March?

Don't have their full resume in from too me, but I think we would get in ahead of a four games over .500 Baylor team

Heres their team sheet..before this loss to WVU..http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2018/team-sheet?team=Baylor

Speaking of teams 4 games over .500..I think I heard Palm say today..that only ONE team in the history of the tourney has ever gotten an at large berth being 4 games over .500 or less..that was Vandy a couple years ago

auburnmarquette · « **Reply #1520 on:** March 08, 2018, 11:11:40 PM »

Back of napkin I believe with no bids stolen, we'd need to be picked ahead of 4 of these 9 teams:

St Mary's, Baylor, Flo state, Louisville, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Syracuse and Texas.

Any stolen bids (eg Nevada not winning their tournament) means we need to beat 5 of these 9 etc.

Does this look right?

Sec network is running all out pretty war on at Mary's.

I think we get in over Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Baylor, and ND. Maybe St. Marys. Hopefully no bid stealers.

Also Alabama?

auburnmarquette · « **Reply #1524 on:** March 08, 2018, 11:29:04 PM »

Looking at palm having us as an 11 seed without a Dayton trip, only 2 of the 9 teams that would be chasing us have more q1 wins.

Oklahoma 6
Alabama 5
Marquette 4
USC 4

As long as q1 wins suffice and we don't need to have really knocked off a top 10 team, we do stack up well.
