With the use of archive.org I compared where we are at on the bracket matrix now vs. prior years.

February 15, 2020 - ZERO people had us in

February 16, 2019 - 95 out of 95 had us in (we were projected a 9 seed)

February 14, 2018 - 71 out of 105 (we were an 11 seed, 3rd last team in)

Will check 2017, 2016, 2015 later.

[B]Based on the analysis, I sort of want to take back a comment I emphasized earlier in this thread.   I said people typically oversell what we need to do to get in the tournament -- and that is true but this year we are in a much bigger hole so it may not hold.      In prior years, if I said we could go 3-3 or 3-4, or even lose 3 of 4 games for example and still get in, people would not buy that (incorrectly).   This year we do not have that luxury level at all - we need to rise above our level of play to close the season.[/B]
