The 37 at large...

[bpo57]

BE (7) - SU, Marq, Cinci, GT, ND, UC, WVA
B12 (5)- KU, KSU, Bay, ISU, TX
B10 (5)- Wisc, Mich, Ind, Purdue and OSU/MSU
ACC (4)- NC, Duke, VA, NCState
SEC (4)- UK, Alab, UF, Miss St.
MWC (3) SDSt, UNLV and CSU
A10 (3) St. L, Tem, Xavier
WCC (2) Gonz, BYU
P12 (1) Cal
MVC (1) Wich St
CUSA (1) SoMiss
CAA (1) Drexel

For me the last one came down to MSU or Marshall. I think Marshall deserves it more but gotta feeling they'll go with the power conference. If 10 BE teams get in and Drexel gets hosed then the Committee should be forced to listen to Jimmy Dykes and Mike Patrick call a Duke/UK game for 24 hours straight. Would also not shock me to see Wash get in along with Cal. Don't deserve it but that's how it often goes.

Louisville? I think they will make it. LOL.

 

[Marsh01]

Louisville? I think they will make it. LOL.

I think he means they got the auto bid and are safe. He is missing USF.

 

[Meatball56]

Louisville is not at large as they won the BE tourney

 

[jdubs30]

Louisville? I think they will make it. LOL.

They aren't an at-large

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Louisville? I think they will make it. LOL.

He's talking about at large bids only.

 

[iommi]

My bad.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

USF will get in before Miss St.

 

[Marsh01]

Miss State doesnt have a prayer.

 

[690West]

Miss State doesnt have a prayer.

Exactly. USF is 75% in

 

[Alsacs]

Only disagreement is Miss State they don't belong in the tournament they have struggled down the stretch. I think the BE gets 9 but not 10 so I think USF over Miss State and your projection is good.

 

[PoppyHart]

Marshall? A 5th place team in CUSA? Really doubt it.

 

[Marsh01]

THere is going to be one team that comes out of nowhere that gets a bid. It happens every year and people scratch their heads. Last year it was UAB.

 

[iommi]

Can't believe Wiggy Brackets has The Hall in. Not gonna happen.

 

[Meatball56]

USF is a lock. Seton Hall, not so much...

I'll go out on a limb and say Washington also makes it from the Pac-Whatever.

My out on the limb pick was Marshall. I like their resume moreso than some other bubble teams, but I know the committee will likely not pick them.

Cheers,

[Marsh01]

My shocking team prediction that does not get in is NIT State. Somehow I think they get a snub.

 

[bpo57]

Louisville? I think they will make it. LOL.

The 37 at large won't include Louisville

My shocking team prediction that does not get in is NIT State. Somehow I think they get a snub.

That would be shocking. I think they are a lock. You have to look at who they lost to and the competitiveness of those games. They would be getting severely hosed if they don't get a bid.

 

[jncuse]

My seeds for whatever it is worth. I have been fighting keeping in Marshall since this morning, when I said they were in. I am going to keep them in. Seton Hall was the victim of St. Bonnie winning the A-10.

And a bracket quickly thrown together, that I tried to observe bracket rules and preferences. I may have made a mistake, but not changing now, plus bracket talk is meaningless at this point.

You have Marshall in and I didn't but they deserve a shot. Looks good. I would take OSU out of #1 and put either KU or Mzzou in there.

I guess you were right that the BE teams may get squeezed.. I thought so... but we will find out.
