I have Marquette on the 5 line if they lose to Creighton

[rocket surgeon]

So the top 6 seem pretty clear, right?

Houston
Uconn
Purdue
TN
UNC
AZ

  after Az loss to usc, I don't believe you could keep them in top 6.  Tennessee as well. 

Then a jumble of Marquette, Iowa St., Duke, Baylor, and Creighton.  (After Kansas getting blown out and Dickinson getting hurt I can't imagine they can still get a 2).  As wisblue said, a lot of losses in our favor today. 

Curious to see what the updated brackets look like after this weekend.  Also seems pretty clear there's no chance Marquette falls any lower than a 3 seed.

[Scoop Snoop]

So MU was just progressive on the NIL front?

Yeah, but throwing money at UNC rather than giving it to Marquette players?

Of the NIT bracket right?  🤔

[Uncle Rico]

Games that will help determine Marquette’s seeding being played today:

Wisconsin at Purdue: Gard just gets it done and a win today could see the Badger steal a 3-seed from Marquette

North Dakota State at St. Thomas: A St. Thomas win helps our SOS

Also:

Arch Madness championship game is today.  Brian Wardle has been eliminated but either the Drake or Indiana State coach could be in play if Shaka takes the Louisville or DePaul job.  Good chance to watch these coaches operate

Depends on how many bid thieves there are.  After our loss last night, I am a bit worried about getting on the bubble

I’m not going to be able to sleep for the next week.

Morehead State gets the autobid for the OVC last night.  Potential 15-seed

Longwood up 18 in the Big South final at halftime.  They finished 6-12 in league

Do we want Morehead or Longwood?

[ATL MU Warrior]

Do we want Morehead or Longwood?

Yes

[Newsdreams]

Do we want Morehead or Longwood?

Longwood is a great porn star name, so Longwood it is.

[The Thing]

And Morehead isn’t?

[Uncle Rico]

Do we want Morehead or Longwood?

As an Evangelical Christian, I’ll have to pray for an answer

[Uncle Rico]

Badgers playing great this morning.  Have Purdue where they want them. 

[Newsdreams]

And Morehead isn’t?

Longwood with the 27 in, er, point lead

[Uncle Rico]

Badgers within 4 at Purdue.  Gard just gets it done

[Dr. Blackheart]

Grandstaff transfer there?

Expect Badgers to jump MU

Princeton won the regular season Ivy title with a 105-83 win over Penn.

They are 24-3 on the season and, if they win the 4 team conference tournament (which is no given), they could be a first round challenge for a 4 or 5 seed. I don’t think they would be seeded 15 again this year. They have a Ken Pom rating of 52 and Yale and Cornell (2 of the teams they lost to on the road) are in the top 100.

I think the Ivies are benefitting from some of the transfer chaos because their players don’t transfer. So, they get teams with players who play together for several years.

Henderson is a really good coach.  Gotta think he’s gonna be in play for some openings unless he wants to be the next Pete Carill.

Arizona in big trouble. Bronnys Trojans up 11 at the under 8, LeBron in the house

Bronny with 5pts and 5 rebounds.  Easy to see why he’s a one and done and Lebron said he’s better than multiple guys in the Lakers

[Uncle Rico]

Governors up early on the Hatters

[Uncle Rico]

Expect Badgers to jump MU

I’d think so

[MuggsyB]

Expect Badgers to jump MU

Lol.

Hopefully Crowl is back and Blackwell transfers.

[mugrad_89]

Lol.

Hopefully Crowl is back and Blackwell transfers.

Extend Gard!

Will Wisconsin make it to 20 wins?
