NCAA Tournament Selection Discussion - Bubble Talk, ACC Teams, #1 Seeds, whatever you want to say

Miami is 31-1

I mean come on. Auburn 17-16? What a joke.

Stop playing the regular reason then!

Auburn and Oklahoma are pretty close - not advocating for either, but there will be two SEC teams in that final spot discussion,. Both 7-11.

Auburn 4-13 in Q1, 7-15 in Q1+Q2, one bad loss
Oklahoma 4-9 in Q1, 10-14 in Q1+Q2, no bad loss
Auburn Q1 wins - 2 top half (At Florida Huge) / 2 bottom half
Oklahoma Q1 wins - 1 top / 3 bottom

Now to be fair Auburn had the far tougher schedule as 2-11 in top half Q1, and Oklahoma is 1-6 in top half.
 
I'm interested in seeing the Bracket Matrix update for today, and how it incorporates Miami's loss.

Not that anybody on the matrix knows anything more than any of us here (Miami is so unique as a bubble team historically), or that will be a predictor of what the committee will do.

But just for interest sakes as to what the initial consensus is.
 
I noticed the Bracket Matrix, now has 43 brackets that updated today.
Will focus on those, because anything on March 12th or before is irrelevant regarding Miami.

So of the 43 brackets updated today. Miami is IN on 38 of the 43 brackets. So consensus is they will get in. BUT...

Current Standings (out of 43)

VCU 41 (still playing)
Miami 38 (done)
SMU 38 (done)
Texas 36 (done)
----- in/out--------
Auburn 8 (done)
Oklahoma 7 (still playing)
San Diego St 2 (Still playing)
Indiana 1 (done)
Virginia Tech 1 (done)

New Mexico (0) is out after losing yesterday
The only team below the line that can still make a statement is Oklahoma.

UAB lost, but damn, Westry had 15 assists.

Perhaps we get a chance to see him play again in the NIT?
At NET 118, its possible they get in due to all the expected rejections.

WIchita St got in last year from the American with a NET of 139 (they were apparently the last at large if I'm reading the WIKI page / chart correctly)

Um, New Mexico won and plays San Diego St. tonight at 11:30pm. Still in it!

Lots of games going on to keep track of, lol

Noted.

New Mexico was in on an a handful of brackets yesterday. When I saw them on 0 of 43 updates today, I just assumed it had to be because they lost yesterday.

I guess those that had them in, chose to make them the victim for Miami

Yeah. I do think both they and SDSU are still alive. Basically a winner survives game tonight...I wish it wasn't so late! I'm not sure if a win would be enough, but who knows

Watching these games today and man is it evident the lack of fire we played with this year and how bad we were at simple things like setting screens.
Expand...

Its those littler things (like screens) that seem to go away first when teams get down during a season. The effort sometimes is still there, but the effort is not maximized as the sharpness and concentration is gone.,

I'm a hockey fan (but as a comparison point). When I'm live at games, you can often tell teams that are out of it for the season (or opposite) by simply looking at how crisp and co-ordinated their line changes are. Good teams are flowing well, execute the tip-in dump, and 5 out / 5 in. Bad teams are doing them a few players at a time, sometimes slow at them.

FWIW I think they should be in for sure. Auburn?? Give me a break.

Up to 101 Brackets Today (excluding 20 from March 12).
Consensus is clearly for Miami to get in (93%)
If you are SMU/Texas, you may feel good now, but they are very susceptible to a A-10/MWC bid steal, or if Oklahoma wins again tonight.


(out of 101)
VCU 97 (beat Duquesne Today_
Miami 94 - done
SMU 90 - done
Texas 82 - done
------ in/out--------
Oklahoma 17 - vs Q1 Arkansas at 9:30
Auburn 11 - done
New Mexico 6 - vs San Diego St at midnight
San Diego St 5 - vs New Mexico at midnight,
Indiana 1
Stanford 1
 
Ole Miss, who was 4-14 in the SEC and 12-19 overall, is up by 6 against Bama with 8 minutes to go.
If they pull it off that would give them 3 straight Q1 wins in the SEC tournament to reach the semi's (Texas/Georgia/Alabama)

Zero shot at an-large though. Need to win 2 more which is highly unlikely.

Wisconsin-Illinois is an excellent game, 67-63 Illinois with 5:21 left.

Off this subject, what do you think with SDSU? Gotta win and get the autobid today or does the New Mexico win last night get them in? They don’t have a good OOC resume this year like they usually do so it’s iffy IMO
