2021 Bracketology v1

Zach Edey returning to Purdue shakes up Bracketology in a big way

Kansas remains the clear preseason No. 1, but the Boilermakers have slipped in behind the Jayhawks as a probable repeat 1-seed with revenge on their minds.

Joey Brackets has us as the 2nd team out. Creighton snags a #1.

SU is Joey's kryptonite --not that Joey has an special powers.

I think they are projected to get basically everyone back.

 

[upperdeck]

lots of teams in lots of sports have everyone come back. But overplaying expectations by a mile usually means you dont do it back 2 back.

In the days of mass transfers and so many guys going early to the NBA, I would argue very few top 25 teams ever return all 5 starters.

Their success this past year, continuity of the roster, and being a year older should make them a legitimate preseason top 5 team.

I’m very optimistic. A year of experience helps a number of guys. Sidibe becomes what we envisioned and I think Jesse contributes. Alan won’t be Eli but he should be good. I worry about the D but it can’t be worse than this years. There will be a tougher conference schedule but I don’t think we will sweat on Selection Sunday. Think we get back in the rankings

He never thinks we are going to be good we could field the 96 bulls roster and he'd have us as one of his last four teams in.

Based on how often we straddle the bubble line year after year since the beginning of the 2014/2015 season he is not wrong.

According to this, yes we are in our home again.

To be fair that post was from last april, when I had higher expectations.

It' not called the bubble anymore. It's the dome. It doesn't burst. It deflates.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

We were on the Bubble to get into the Bubble.

Pitt is on the bubble with us... That's not good...
