BET Projections Vol 15.0

[Marsh01]

***Admins please replace previous update***

Down to 2 days left in the regular season. There are only 3 teams that have locked in their spots. They are Syracuse (#1), Louisville (#7) and DePaul (#16). I have indicated this below in the bracket.

Things get pretty complicated with the teams that could finish 2-6 in the standings. There are (I think) 16 different combinations that could literally happen depending on who wins and loses. The easy way would be if ND wins tomorrow they clinch the 3 seed and the double bye. Notre Dame cannot finish 2nd but can finish as high as 3rd. If ND loses to Providence then they could finish as low as 6th.

The winner of the Marquette-Georgetown game will lock up the 2 seed. Marquette has clinched a double bye and cannot finish lower than the 4 seed. Georgetown can finish anywhere from 2 to 6.

Here is where it gets wacky. If ND and Georgetown lose their last game and USF and Cincy win then the 2-6 standings would be 2-Marquette 3-USF 4-Cincy 5-Gtown 6-ND.

After Louisville at 7 there are 3 teams that are battling for the 8-9-10 seeds. If Seton Hall beats DePaul they get the 8 seed and the last bye. If West Virginia beats USF then they get the 9 seed regardless of what Uconn does. Uconn needs a win over Pitt and a loss by WVU to get a bye.

Below that, well they all pretty much stink and it really doesnt matter right?

I just want a rematch with ND.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

With ND pulling away from Prov, here's what I'm pulling for tomorrow:

USF beats WVU
Pitt beats UConn
Marq over Gtown
Cincy over Nova

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this would mean:

1) Cuse
2) Marq
3) ND
4) USF
5) Cincy
6) Gtown

Cuse draw:
Quarterfinals: Hall/WVU/DePaul
Semifinal: USF/Cincy
Final: Marq/ND/Gtown
