Tracking the Bracket Matrix throughout the Regular Season

do we want Baylor or Texas?

Don't think it matters. Whoever wins, I want them to lose more games down the stretch. Same with whoever loses.

 

[pearl31]

prolly Texas, huh? they're still safely in on the matrix while Baylor is in first 4 out - a road win for Baylor would almost surely vault them over us...
game going into double OT right now

I just updated by week schedule... I had slept on Baylor entering the mix after beating Kansas this weekend.

Texas is ahead of them, but it's a Quad 1 game for Baylor. So don't know the answer.. ask me in 3 weeks what would have been better

 

[pearl31]

welp Baylor pulls it out

 

[jncuse]

Texas is definetely on a downward trend at 1-4 in the last 5 games.

They are only 5-8 in conference, but no quad 3 or 4 losses, 5 quad one wins. Then again its hard to get a quad 3 loss in the Big 12 when only 1 game qualifies on the entire schedule (Home at Oklahoma St)

Big 12 is going to get smoked in the tournament 2003 style.

Think you might be right. They don't have any really bad teams in the conference, but I also don't see anyone that's good enough that I can clearly say is a Final 4 contender. Maybe Texas Tech can go on a run depending on the bracket. Kansas has three transfers sitting out with the Lawson brothers and Charlie Moore and then the Billy Preston deal so their depth is killing them, particularly in the front court.

Georgetown road win has now moved up to Quad Two. No chance it will get any higher due to their laughable OOC schedule.

 

[jdubs30]

Hoyas almost blew that game too.

 

[jncuse]

BC RPI up to 76 after tonight's win... almost another Quad 3 home win moved up to number 2.

Hoyas almost blew that game too.

I will take the win, but liked that they put their 17 fans through some stress.

Updated Post #120 and #121 for Mon-Tues results

I guess two items of substance:
1) Baylor beat Texas (Road win) - They may not be in yet, but they are very close.
2) Nebraska beat Maryland... 11-4 in the BiG with not that hard a path to 14-4. Will they get in if they get to 14-4.

and MD all but done barring an unforseen run

Maryland's RPI is #60... hopefully they can keep it in the top 75. The 0-9 Q1 record, and the 1-11 Q1+Q2 record is not good.

Zero chance a 14-4 b10 conference record gets left out

Do we want South Carolina?

Tenn would pretty much have to lose out just to be on the bubble

 

[Ryand877]

Do I have to root for Duke against VaTech tonight? I don't know if I can do it !

 

[Knicks411]

Looks like toledo has jumped into the top 75, so that's currently a quad 2 win. Buffalo is 33 right now, it will probably be tough for them to get into the top 30 though.

 

[jncuse]

As long as we technically have a chance of an at large I will continue to track.

I think we just dug a ditch that might be too deep

 

[JrodCuse]

I’m scared to even look at the list of other teams that have only made the tournament once in the last 4 years. It’s gotta be some very ugly company.

 

[jncuse]

Tonight has been a tough night on many levels:

The most obvious being our loss at home to NC St. 2 bubble teams (Providence + NC ST) had a quad one win... Kansas St won at Oklahoma St which may become a quad one win. If Boise St wins it would be a real bad night.

 

[jncuse]

Some people on this board will throw out some ridiculous numbers on what we need to do.

In all likelihood, 2 wins in the last 5 + one quad one win in the ACC tourney would be enough. Or 3 wins the rest of the regular season.

Obviously chances of hitting that target are not that good.

 

[pearl31]

well at least Boise lost
