NCAA Tournament - Selection Sunday

Postby admin » Sun Mar 12, 2017 9:45 am

Unchartered territory for a "new" league to get 70% of it's teams into the dance.

My Big East seed projections:

1- Nova
4- Butler
7- Creighton
8- Hall
11- Marquette/Xavier
12- Providence

Where am I off? Feel like Butler should get a 3, but 1st round BET loss might knock them down a seed line.

The Big East is bound to have someone in the first four right?
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.

lunardi has BE teams with byes. although he also has seton hall as a 10 which seems little low. dangerous 10 seed if accurate

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

These are the multi bid leagues this year:

ACC
Big East
Big Ten
SEC
Big 12
Pac-12
American (Cincy & SMU)
A-10 (Dayton & URI? Maybe VCU?)
WCC (Gonzaga & St. Mary's)

That's it, right?

If Illinois State gets in, then MVC.

Creighton could be a 6 or 7, maybe an 8 if the committee downgrades us for Watson's absence. I'm not sure it matters. I'd rather be playing in KC or Milwaukee as a 7 than out west as a 6.

Providence is best bet.

Lookin' to me like either Xavier or Providence will have to play a first four game, though I think both are better than at least four at-large teams. X will have a better RPI, Sagarin, and Ken Pom than at least 6 at large teams, and Providence finished the season on a very strong note. And especially, I can't figure out why Syracuse is still even in the bubble discussion, much less why Lunardi and a bunch of other smart guys think they'll get a bid. If they do, they'll do so on the "strength!" of an 18-14 record (the worst winning %, the worst RPI, and the most losses outside the top 100 of ANY team to EVER get in.) Michigan State at 19-14 is only a whisker better, though most of the talking heads think they're a solid 10 seed -- nowhere near a first four game. I guess future Hall of Fame coaches deserve special consideration, huh
