By the way, bubbles bursting everywhere tonight. NCSu about to steal a bid, FAU going down means another one is gone Oregon may grab one tonight, Nee Mexico secured theirs… A&M doesn’t look nearly as safe as they did before tip off today.
Sim as a #5 seed after today's games. Similar past resumes show about #5. Win tomorrow & UF could supplant Auburn as a #4.
I’m still thinking/hoping we’ll seed higher than our metrics , due to our upward trend - we’ve been a pretty sexy pick this last month or so….
Was listening to Eric Fawcetts latest podcast last night…mentioned how before most games were played yesterday, ncaa committee member stated that 35 at large teams were already locked in. This statement had people up in arms as it indicates that the match ups from yesterday afternoon and into last night and today may have no bearing on some seedlings and teams making the tourney. Even Eric seemed pretty displeased. meaning…it is possible that win or lose today floridas seeding may not change - nor others - which devalues games from yesterday and today.
Yep. Tammy is #45 in the NET. Very iffy bubble spot to be in, even though they're a very dangerous team right now. I think they get left out and can go foul their way to an NIT championship.
I don’t understand how some of the brackets think Bama will be a high seed than us. We have better record and beat them twice
somehow their metrics are better than ours - higher rated in Net, Kenpom, Bart torvic , and other analytical calculations and the committee uses those for seeding. Same with Auburn who had one quad 1 win.
I think our away game win percentage is lower. Vandy game loss late in season may have hurt us. Playing UGA three times hurt us, as lowered our metrics as well.
I actually like the east bracket to get out of the first week, even if it means meeting UConn the following week. For one thing, we have played two games in Brooklyn earlier this year. I also think Duke is vulnerable. We have a few motivating reasons for wanting to play UConn. Revenge for 2014 and to prevent them from going back-back.
My working assumption all along is that, largely due to the lower NET, we would be on the edge of the 6/7 line, so that makes sense. Heck, at this stage I would take a 7 if it meant a Friday start with less travel.
