2025 Bracketology

[MU82]

In Bracketmatrix, we're now the first 5, just behind St. John's and Kentucky but well ahead of the other 5s - Michigan, Mississippi and UCLA.

I heard Michigan's win over Purdue last night, with weeks left before conference tournaments start, locked them into a 4 seed.

If someone actually used the word "locked" the key would be right next to the door.

They probably are correct that Michigan's recent wins and MU's recent losses, the most recent of which occurred after some of the brackets in the Bracket Matrix were submitted, moves Michigan ahead of MU on many seed lists for now.

But, Michigan has a brutal schedule coming up, including one at Ohio State (and this isn't football), at Nebraska and MSU, and home games against Illinois and MSU. Lots of opportunities for big wins and multiple losses.

We are also the first 5 seed #17 overall in Joe Lunardi's ESPN's S Curve.
Today before the Marquette at Seton Hall game Joe Lunardi has Marquette as a #5 Seed playing #12 Seed Drake in Denver. With the winner playing the winner of #4 Seed Texas Tech versus #13 Seed Akron in the West San Francisco Region.

I would not like that set. I think we can beat all 3 but doesn't feel good.

Of course it's all talking points...I think we get a 4.

[GoldenEagles03]

Most brackets this morning have us as one of the last two 7 seeds or first 8 seed.

Damn...it would be nice to avoid that 8/9.

I think seven is their floor.

[The Sultan]

Bracket matrix, which admittedly takes awhile to sort things out, has us as a solid six. (Playing Arkansas in the first round.) 🫠🫠🫠

Not drake, we all fear drake.

Hopefully we shoot better than 23% if we play the Hogs.

A 6 is obviously a lot better than a 7 or 8.  I'm looking at the 2's and don't really like our chances if we're able to win our 1st game.  Mich St. is not a good matchup for us and nor is Texas Tech or Bama/Florida.   Tenn we could have a shot.

I'd take a rematch with MSU to get to the S16. Mostly because that means we'd have won our 1st round game, but also because I think MSU is beatable.

We don't deserve to win the first game.

We haven't played the first game yet.

Doesn't matter. We don't deserve to win it.

MSU would not be a good match up at all.

Ya.....I don't like that possibility.

Yes as long as MU doesn't hit the portal for bangers / mid-range shooters and recruits that hit over 40% 3pts and Ft shooters, MU won't win again.

Worried.

Amazing how that seed keeps dropping when many on this board believe the team is playing well. Wonder what happened to that 2 seed from 2 months ago that many here were talking about. Should be talking more about us dropping off a cliff. There is no question that this team is the weakest of Shakas since year 1 and that it is going in wrong direction. Next year is year 5 and all the players will be Shakas. Based on where we are right now, are we headed in the right direction?

Four straight winning seasons in conference for a program that had two in the prior seven seasons...I'd say no doubt.

Just out of curiosity, what coach is the savior that you want for MU?

Nobody on here thinks they are playing great. They are looking better and have put together a respectable season.

It's all about what's ahead. Either join in on the fun or STFU

Not much room to go but down when you're a 2 seed in back to back years. Find me a single program that has a linear improvement year over year without ever taking a step back for a season or a couple of seasons.

This is why people make fun of you. Maybe you're smarter than what you post here, but your posts aren't very smart and your expectations are unrealistic.
