Re: ***Official 2013 Bracketology Thread***
I like Lunardi's new bracket. Glad to see we have moved up, hopefully we can continue to move at least to a 7 seed.
Here's the Big 12's seeds right now according to Lunardi:
#2 Kansas
#4 Kansas State
#6 Oklahoma State
#9 Iowa State
#10 Oklahoma
#11 Baylor
I think the Big 12 will end up getting five in. Feel like either OU or BU will slide down the stretch and miss out.

The Miami Hurricanes are for real. They are just toying with UNC.
Re: ***Official 2013 Bracketology Thread***
The Missouri Valley Conference is getting kinda crazy now. 3-way tie for first between Creighton, Wichita State, and Indiana State. All three will probably get into the Tourney. The one team to be aware of is Illinois State. They have won 6 out of their last 7 games and could be very dangerous in the MVC tournament.

In our last eight games, we go 7-1....we are playing for a seed in the brackets come conference tourney time. Go 6-2....not much difference. Go 5-3....better win a tourney game to make the bracket. Go 4-4....better win two games. Anything worse than that.....better be playing in, or winning the conference tourney to get mentioned in the brackets on selection Sunday.

Agreed.
I'd like to go 6-2 because I think it would get us a 6 or 7 seed, and away from the 8-9 game.
Re: ***Official 2013 Bracketology Thread***
Just looked at the matchups ... I would totally take that sub-region as a 10.
That has potential of double-digit-to-Sweet-16.
(Note: "Potential" doesn't suggest "expected")

Oh, I'm not panicking. Just saw the red arrow pointing down next to our seed.
Re: ***Official 2013 Bracketology Thread***
This bracket though has some interesting matchups in the first round and second round
First Round: Gonzaga vs. LB State. Dan Monson facing his old team
Ohio State vs. Akron: Battle of Ohio and Lebron's two potential college choices
Ole Miss vs. Cincinnati - Andy Kennedy facing his old team
Second Round Potential: Indiana vs. Kentucky
Duke vs. UCLA
I am not sold on Colorado being in the tournament. Their win against Oregon was big, but Oregon did not have their starting PG, and Oregon has gone 1-3 since he went down.

Colorado is safe for now – would almost have to play its way out. CU's win over Colorado State is actually buoying it as much as Oregon win, RPI-wise (15 compared to 42) although win over UO came on the road (a plus). RPI & SOS are helping; two of the three top-50 losses are to KU and Arizona (both top 10 RPI). Bad loss vs. Utah doesn't help.

Palm's bracket Feb. 11
He's way off all over the place.
A symptom: He has Big 10 teams at the top two 1-seed slots, MSU as a 2 (all of which are reasonable) but then has Illinois up to a 7 but Ohio State is only a sixth seed. It makes no sense in the continuum of those teams' results. If he had OSU as a 3, it'd all be too strong, but would at least be logical.
Oh, also: ISU's resume isn't the most inviting dessert on the plate, but this team isn't close to a play-in resume.
Just a few things.
