Half of our losses to teams in the top 16 with none of them happening at home.

People not liking the bracket I mean it's the ncca tourney. All of teams are good. Only the 2 and maybe 3 seeds have "easy" games. Gonna have to play well no matter what really if you wanna advance. We will not be playing a game where we all feel great about the odds. Way it is

Is ther a bigger GD fraud than Michigan State. 8 total losses and only 3 Quad 1 wins. I can’t ever remember a bigger case of a team trading on their name. Michigan State is closer to a bubble team than a top 4 seed. NCAA embarrassing itself yet again.

Second?  The ceiling is third with the way The Hall and Nova are playing and are ahead of us in the standings.

Not necessarily. Both teams had easier starts to their conference season. They still have to play each other twice, Nova has at Butler still to come and Seton Hall has at Marquette and at Creighton. One of those two teams sweeps the other one and they are in striking distance. Nova especially hasn't been blowing people out, they have single digit wins vs X, vs DePaul, and at Providence. Do I think we end up in second? No. I think 3rd or 4th is much more likely but I don't think saying the ceiling is 2nd is unrealistic.

Week and a half later and we are a half game out of second. Still don't think we finish in second, but still think second has always been within our ceiling.

15/16 teams correct, 13/16 on the correct line. My only errors were having Maryland and WVU swapped (which made both a seed-line error) and having Penn State in and Michigan State out (they were 16/17 in mine).

What surprised me was they didn't mention Penn State as close. The Nittany Lions have a great resume with the only real hole being the NCSOS. Punishing them for that seems a bit silly, considering the strength of their wins.

Don’t beat yourself up TOO bad.

An hour later your #17 (the committees #16) lost. And your #16 (penn state) won.

brewski, they obviously didn't choose Penn State because their coach committed the #1 sin in college basketball: He didn't foul when up 3. And he had the temerity to win using his strategy, so he had to be punished!

They've been there since before the butler win and Arizona and LSU's loss. My guess is that they will move up in the next update

They were coming off 3 straight wins and playing in a tough environment. If they can win the next two at home, they should be okay. They certainly aren't the team they looked like in December, but after losing 6/7 and starting 2-6 in conference play, I'm sure any OSU fan would've gleefully signed up for 3-1 in their past 4, especially with 3 of those on the road.

Michigan State was preseason number 1....now out of the top 25.

Didn’t Clemson start out 17-0 one year and not make the tournament?

True enough.

Still, we didn't start at No. 1 and fall out of the rankings by mid-Feb.

Let's hope we're not talking about any more MU collapses any time soon!

6 game losing streak compared to losing 12 of 13.  5 seed compared to having to turn down a NIT invite because you know that your fans won't turn up.

I also thought it happened with one of the Arizona teams (AZ St.??) in the past couple of years, but was too productive at work (read: lazy) to look it up.

And I don't think there's comparisons to last year - we were't #1 or 2. It was a collapse to be sure, but we were never in danger of bottoming out of the whole damn thing.

ASU started 12-0 in 2017, got up to #3 in the AP poll. Barely made the tournament and lost in the play-in game.
