Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Lunardi almost a carbon copy for today:
4 Marquette (13)
4 Xavier (14)
4 UConn (15)
6 Creighton (23)
7 Providence (26)
Seton Hall 4th team out

I haven't been on bracketmatrix in a few days but I just saw a tweet from Lunardi and one of the interesting things I noticed was the Pac 12 with only 3 teams in. Two of them are UCLA and USC (last 4 in). Is the Pac 12 still a power conference in basketball when those two leave?

Five teams - LOCK

After their showings this past week, I don't Hall has to worry about an at large bid.

Providence not quite a lock IMO right now. They're almost certain, but they need another win or two to lock things up.

Hopkins is going to make sure they win more games...hopefully starting tomorrow : )

Technically, everyone probably needs to win a couple more games. Except Kansas. Kansas could lose out and they MIGHT drop to a 2 seed.

I think Marquette, Xavier, and UConn are total locks right now. 20 wins for Marquette and 19 for Xavier/UConn.

I guess Creighton isn’t a lock, lock. But they’re damn close if they aren’t. They are in all 100 brackets on the matrix and a 5-6 seed on most. It would be a shock if they didn’t make the tourney. Providence probably enters lock category with a win tonight.

To me a lock is you can lose everything else and still make the tourney.

I agree with you on Providence. They need 1 more good win. Got plenty of chances.

Lunardi today:
Marquette 3 S Columbus Hofstra,Iowa/Boise St(Baylor 2)
Xavier 4 MW Orlando Utah Vally, Miami/So Miss(Purdue 1)
Creighton 5 S Orlando Liberty, Indiana/VCU(Alabama 1)
UConn 5 E Albany Kent St, Gonzaga/Yale(Kansas 1)
Povidence 8W Birmingham Duke, Houston

Seton Hall 7th team out

Xavier/Miami and Creighton/Indiana rd 2 would be fun. So would UConn/Gonzaga.

Hall is now the 8th team out. Pirates need to get a couple of big wins or the ship will sail.
