The Holy Land of Hoops

Joe Lunardi currently has 7 BIg East teams dancing. Discuss.

On the S curve:
5 - Villanova
23 - Seton Hall
24 - St. John's
31 - Providence
32 - Butler
33 - Xavier
34 - Georgetown

Multi-bid leagues:
ACC - 7
Big 12 - 7
Big East - 7
Big ten - 6
PAC12 - 4
SEC - 4
A10 - 3
AAC - 3
MVC - 2
MWC - 2
WCC - 2

That seems right, given our non-conference wins and RPI. As long as we don't self devour. The three teams not in would probably have to get 10 or 11 conference wins to get considered (depending on who they beat) If that happens, some other teams would get left out. I hate to say this as a Creighton fan, but the best chance to get 7 in would be to have 3 teams with minimal conference wins. Any volunteers?

Joe seems to change his mind in his bracketologies almost as often as he takes a bowel movement. His analysis on the 2015 NCAA Tourney Bracketology on 1-1-15 is just as valid as Madam Vera's analysis of your palm or her visions through her crystal ball.

But, I guess, it is entertaining, and he DOES have to do to continue to earn his paycheck.

I could live with those results though.

No matter how many get in, need to put a nice pile of wins in the BE column to get the respect.

Correct. Ultimately this is a challenge because it's likely that 2 of the seven will have losing conference records.

thought it was interesting- saw a thing where Bilas and Goodman were discussing things about programs like Michigan and Florida who have struggled so far- and one of them brought up how it's going to be a struggle for the committee to pick 68 teams as some of the not so great teams have pretty bad resumes with bad losses etc. Think especially for programs like Georgetown, Butler, Seton Hall- all of those having resumes with no bad losses- that's really good news.

The second half of the bc game and the 40 minutes against brown are an hour of basketball for the Friars that I wish we could take back. Ugh. They would be in lock city right now if not for that hour of bad hoops.

This makes my point from the other thread that the parity could mean a lot of bids and a lot of disappointment when the tourney starts. This means that we probably lose 5 of the 7 on the 1st weekend. Better off having 3-4 teams separate from the pack.
