The Annual Bubble Discussion Thread - 2021 Version

[blust2i3d4]

We are the last team in according to Andy Katz’s latest mock bracket today. Check it out here: 2021 NCAA bracketology: March Madness predictions by Andy Katz

Andy is always kind to SU over the years. When he said we are the last team in, it is likely that we won't make it. I think in the real world, we are still in "last four out" group.

Notice someone shifted from “He’s not ready” to “we need him” in his last interview. We need him.

Did JB say this? Genuinely asking, idk if that’s who your referring to but I’d think so.

I don’t see how the committee would pick two MW teams to take play in spots and leave us out.

Miami beating a Pitt team that beat us twice is not good

Miami beating a Pitt team that beat us twice is not good

If the voters know what they’re doing (which granted they don’t half the time) this shouldn’t matter. Pitt is playing with almost literally half the team they had during the meat of the season.

Gives our win over Miami a chance to climb from a Q4 to a Q3.

That's me - always looking on the bright side.

Yes last Thursday

Win and in.

Nova is gonna be without Gillespie and Moore for the BET. They’re gonna have a tough time.

we really need Nova/Creighton/UConn to win it... the last thing we need is Hall/X/StJ making a run

Also a problem; Seton Hall and St Johns play each other in the qtrs and the winner will play Nova in the semis (assuming Nova wins round 1). Reasonable chance St. Johns or Seton Hall makes at least the BET finals

 

[Alsacs]

I bet UConn(I know) +600 to win the BET.

I like my chances.
I think it’s a UConn vs. St. John’s final.

I'm seeing them down to +230 already, so, good bet

I wonder how much Nova falls seedwise with the injuries. They are pretty much just a team going in to get dropped early.

I’m with you, those are the 2 I like most top to win it.

We need to hope that Creighton, Nova or UConn wins it

Well, that was easier than I thought it would be. Miami is now a Q3 win.

Yeah Rico Bosch tweeted out of the odds 2 weeks ago before Nova’s injuries and I jumped on it.

Johnnies are a good bet as well.
I can’t see Nova winning this year.

Tells you all you need to know. League is terrible.

I would rather miss the tournament than root for UCONN

Barttorvik has us in currently

Sorry not familiar with Barttorvik. How good is he?

I assume the F4O refers to a previous projection

Then you drunk

 

[Janner]

Could really use a Butler comeback win right now

 

[walsh2012]

butler please pull this off

 

[walsh2012]

Then you drunk

I started drinking for the game but am a disciplined adult who can pace himself

 

[walsh2012]

Butler packing it in so tight on defense, Xavier must have zero shooting
