The Holy Land of Hoops

Here we go, down to the final week. I'll probably do one final bracket after the games on Wednesday. After that, the final games are on Saturday and the bracket will be final at that time.

Movement since last Sunday:
Butler +2
St. John's +1
Seton Hall +1
Creighton +1

Xavier -1
DePaul -1
Marquette -1
Georgetown -2

So say Xavier wins against Creighton this week and loses to providence first round. In or out of the NCAAs?

They would be an 8-9 seed if that happened.

Prolly closer to 10/11. Which is fine with me. Remember, geographically, X will be put in the same region as UK. So we want to avoid the 8/9 seed.

In.

So for the sake of argument say Providence and GTown win out and Butler loses to both of them. How does it shake out? Who owns the tie breaker between Providence and the Hoyas?

Friars swept the Hoyas this year.

I.E. if PC wins out @SHU and Vs. Butler we are a lock for the 2 seed.

Providence holds the tiebreaker over Georgetown in that scenario due to a sweep over Georgetown.

So if my johnnies want to avoid Butler and Gtown we need GTown to win both and Butler to beat Providence?
