2024 NCAA Tournament Bracketology

[Pepe Sylvia]

And an argument can be made for the last 1 seed, with arizonas q3 loss. Keep winning i suppose.

Bracket question for the guys that know this stuff, what is the floor for seeding if MU goes 4-3 the rest of the way?

I'd be stunned if we weren't a 2 seed(assuming DePaul isn't one of the Ls) and 3 seed would be the absolute worst

I would say 3 seed. When winning you don't have to look what other teams are doing. When losing you need to see what other teams are winning. Right now if we were to go 4-3 unless 2/3 losses came to Uconn. I could see the seeds as follows:

1 seeds - Purdue, Uconn, Houston, Zona
2 seeds - Kansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Iowa St
3 seeds - Illinois, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Duke

Those 3 seeds might be some of the worst to date. It would take a collosial implosion imo for Marquette to not get a 3 seed at minimum.

We could maybe fall to a 3 depending on what everyone around us does but i would guess still a 2.

Yeah -

On the Eye on College Basketball podcast today, Gary Parrish said he has Marquette as his 4th #1 seed today.

No way Kansas should get a better seed than MU.

[The Sultan]

No way Kansas should get a better seed than MU.

He did say "if we were to go 4-3," which may put Kansas in front of MU considering how they finish the year.

[PGsHeroes32]

Which I'm finding it unlikely atm they finish strong enough to top that.

[MuMark]

Texas now up to 31 in the Net....1 spot away from turning into another quad 1 win.

South Carolina has some work to do to be in the mix for a 3.

[willie warrior]

Even at 4-3 we should be ranked higher than Kansas. They are not special this year. 4-3 with 2 losses to #1 must be considered. Of course conference tournaments would also matter.

[FairWeatherEagle]

South Carolina has some work to do to be in the mix for a 3.

True, but they have 6 Q1s that they very well can win 3-seed is low for them.  Tonight Auburn away is their biggest challenge. Tennessee I think at home.  SC is the dark horse for a 1 seed. really.

Sure.  They're a dark horse 1 seed in the same way Bama, Iowa State, Illinois, Duke, Baylor, and others are.  If those teams win out through their conference tournament, they could sneak in with a ton of help.

But none of them are getting a 1 seed.

SC is dogs in 5 of their 7 remaining regular season games, and are less than a 1 point favorite in 1 of the 2 games they're favorites in.  They're not going 7-0, and then winning the SEC Tournament.

[Mu8891]

S Carolina is not winning out ... and not getting a 1 seed.  Please 

And the Big 10 / 14 / 18 is not good, but I don't see UW getting a 3 seed

All those other teams winning out don't get a 1. sneak is an understatement. SC win out with only 3 losses and  better than 10-2 Q1..CMON MAN. Seriously they won't win out but even 2 more losses and conf champs 10-4 Q1 puts them in the conversation. Don't get me wrong I want less competition for the 1 if MU performs these next two weeks...but SC is good.

They're 44 at KenPom and 40 at Torvik. What's the lowest a 1 seed has ever been at KenPom? I'd be shocked if it's below 20. Very surprised if it's below 15. They have a very good record. That's different than being a very good team.

[brewcity77]

Xavier was 15 at kenpom.

[PGsHeroes32]

South Carolina getting blitzed.

Again, they will need a minor miracle to get a damn 3

Stop with the 1 seed bs

Well SC getting their butt kicked so that's that.

[IL Warrior]

Well it looks like people can stop with the South Carolina 1 seed nonsense. Down 30 to Auburn right now.

It needed to happen. A lot of nonsense talk regarding them these past two weeks.

Yep. Impressive record, but not much substance behind it.

[LAZER]

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot, but I only see 3 Q1's and now going to be 3-3 in Q1 games.
