I think they are NIT bound whether he plays or not.

Was in Goolsby's last night and the UWM team and fans were in there after their win versus Cleveland State. In a good spot to win the Horizon tournament. Hell of a job by Lundy in Year 1. Wouldn't it be great if the Panthers made it while the Badgers don't?

I keep thinking this, but everyone else right along the cut line continues to lose.

I don't pay attention to the last 8 or so teams that are competing for the last 4 spots. However, having watched Wisky I would say they are aesthetically unpleasing and should be axed in a 50/50 committee decision.

Then Texas Tech must really be not that tough of a team to beat this year if they’re getting 5 points a game at home and are still 4-5 against power 5 teams at home, with one of the wins being Georgetown.

Is there a consensus of what the Badgers need to do to get into the tourney? Seems like if they win against Minnesota and Purdue, most seem to think they'll be in. Since the Purdue victory seems unlikely, do they get in if they win a couple games in the B10 tourney?

Looks Vs like they could play MN in first game if b10 tourney.

2-2 w wins v mn x2, loss to Purdue & someone else… ehh, pretty ugly. They just be huge MU fans right now

2-0 is an NCAA lock, 1-1 is a coin flip, 0-2 and they are out. The selection committee almost completely discounts conference tournament results (see Texas A&M 2022).

Some conference tourney Cinderellas could steal some bids.

HowardsWorld · « **Reply #2884 on:** February 27, 2023, 09:05:43 AM »

I believe 2-0 is a lock as well. If Indiana beats Purdue at home and literally jumps 3 seed lines, then Wisconsin winning vs the same will get them a lock probably a 10 seed.

Wardle has Bradley in a spot to win Arch Madness by winning the the regular season MVC, and thus keeping Shaka's seat warm. Willie knows how to call them.

Is aesthetics a criteria for the committee??

It’s not one of the stated criteria, but for all of the data that is fed to the committee members, decisions on selection and seeding come down to votes of committee members. So, we can never know for sure what specific things might cause committee members to pick Team A ahead of Team B.

It’s simply an interesting anecdote shared a national college basketball analyst who travels the country personally visiting multiple venues all while talking to coaches, players and other reporters close to the game. Nothing more than that.
