[Cracked Sidewalks] First Week Bid Thieves

[brewcity77]

It's March and Selection Sunday is just 10 days away. Today we look at potential bid thieves, focusing on two teams that might have at-large aspirations most bracketologists aren't looking at as well as one team that could beat the secure at-large teams in their league and sneak in with a conference championship net in hand. We also update the S-Curve and bracket based on the latest results.

Bring on the Madness.

MU against Brent in the 2nd round would definitely be interesting.

Good read as always.

I don't really want anything to do with Sam Houston State as a 14 seed.

What do I know about SHS? Well nothing beyond what the computers tell me.
They would be a pretty highly rated KenPom 14 seed with a top 20 D and 320 tempo.

Matchups matter in every game from this point forward, in the elimination part of the season. I don't like extremely strong defensive teams that play absurdly slow tempos as opponents for Marquette this season.

Definitely an avoidance goal there so hopefully I don't get blasted for it.

That reminds me- Brew hope you come out with that list of opponents you wouldn't like to see Marquette face in the seed range they will be seeing opponents.

Although maybe we don't want that list because last season you wouldn't stop reminding us how bad of a matchup UNC would be, and then UNC happened...
