[rocky_warrior]

They got a #2.

Oklahoma St.  Either some confusion, or Nickle really liked them as a 3.

[MuggsyB]

Oklahoma St.

Oh....that is a surprise. 

[NickelDimer]

They got a #2.

[Johnny B]

[Oldgym]

24th i think

[Billy Hoyle]

wtf what seed are we?????

77th team out

[brewcity77]

66/68 teams right. Syracuse and Utah State in over Louisville and Colorado State, same conference but different teams. Louisville and Colorado State were the first two out, and my first two out were the others included in that first four out: Mississippi and SLU.

48 teams on the correct line. Of the 18 I was wrong on, most were 1 line off.

I missed the selection show.  What seed did Marquette get?   I'm assuming it was a high one after our historic defeat of UNC.

Impressive man!

[CountryRoads]

Impressive man!

Agreed. The seed lines is impressive especially. Would like to see how they compare vs other bracketologists. The last few teams in are always a crap shoot anyway.

[brewcity77]

Of the 90 brackets on bracketmatrix, only 3 got all 68 teams right. I'm guessing I'll be somewhere in the middle. The vast majority had Louisville in, but most also got Syracuse. I feel okay, but after Utah State was announced as in, I thought for sure Syracuse was out and I had 67/68, which I would've been much happier with. The Orange were a shock for sure, especially avoiding the Last 4.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Marquette played 12 games against teams in the NCAA Tournament this year.

The difference between you and the real Farley is that he was funny and you are a clown.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Marquette played 12 games against teams in the NCAA Tournament this year.

Marquette probably also played 6 games against teams in the NIT this year. For a total of 18 games played against a team in a tournament this year.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Marquette played 12 games against teams in the NCAA Tournament this year.

Marquette played 8 UNC we beat plays 9 WI we beat. Plus UCLA and Oklahoma State. Plus 2 Games each against Nova, UConn, GTown we beat and Creighton we beat.

Considering at this rate, all of D1 will have been invited to the NIT, it's not that impressive.

SLU had a better Net than any team last four in or first four out. And they had a better KenPom than 5 at large teams as well as both teams ahead of them as COVID-19 replacements.

Too many bad losses. Best road win was NET #321 Fordham. 8-6 against the top-3 quadrants just wasn't enough. If they don't lose those two games coming out of COVID they probably get in, but they did.

Net not really a factor in selections. Neither was COVID-19. They have a case compared to some of the teams ahead of them.

Ben Howland Mississippi State and Todd Kowalczyk Toledo got into The NIT
