Bracketology 2024

Kansas has some huge out of conference wins. If they just win out at the Phog they're still going to be viewed favorably by the committee.

Right now they are 9-5 in the first two quadrants. We are 7-5 for comparison.

the SDSU would be an interesting story line

Does the committee take into account injuries during the season? McCullar being out these last few games has killed Kansas

UConn's Q1 is chock full of road wins against marginal Q1 opponents, so that 8-1 isn't quite as impressive as it looks

Eh, UNC (neutral), Gonzaga (neutral) and Texas (neutral) out of conference.

They haven't played Marquette yet but they blasted Creighton and have beaten a lot of the Big East bubble teams on the road.

13-2 in the first two quadrants is a pretty pristine resume. They have a shot at the #1 overall seed if Purdue messes up down the stretch.

Don't get me wrong, they have some good wins. Just not a lot of great ones (IMO)

Other Q1:
@ Butler (50)
@ Xavier (52)
Creighton (15)
@ Villanova (41)
@ St Johns (46)

That's a fair point. Outside of beating UNC (by double digits) on a neutral I wouldn't classify any win as great.

I would argue consistently beating decent to good teams on the road is impressive though. It won't shock me at all if UConn repeats.

Yeah, I think about 3-4 is reasonable given their resume to this point, and would creep up if they get it together.

It's Kansas, they have to play their way well out of a seed before they slide down while the rest of us have to play our way into a seed to move up. Take where they belong and halve it, and that's where they will likely be slotted unofficially. Then, split the difference at the end to where they will eventually go. Example, probably deserve a 4 right now, still on a 2 line, likely get awarded a 3 if seeded today

 

[8bitnes]

I think a 3 seed would be fine at this point but a 2 is being pretty damn generous.

Win three in a row and talk of a 1 creeps in

Five Big 12 teams in Sweet 16, four in Elite 8, two in FF and two in title game. That'd be wild (even if one of the S16 is OU).

Also in that bracket scenario I could see San Diego State knocking out Purdue. (Among other details I'd select differently).

Maybe to an extent but you also can't make up excuses for the lack of depth Kansas has this year.

See where SB Sports still has ISU as a 4 seed after last night. What does SB stand for, Stupid Bas#####?

They are 5-1 on the road in their conference already. Thats impressive no matter how you slice it.

My drunk a** would be texting me ex who's an SDSU alumn talking s*** the entire game if that happens. Sign me up (it was a healthy split)

 

[cyfan92]

Any guesses on the projected top 16 for Saturday's reveal?? Win tonight and we are knocking on a 2 seed, right? Lose tonight and we are a 3?

1 - Purdue, UCONN, Houston, Arizona
2 - UNC, Tennessee, Marquette, Kansas
3 - ISU, Baylor, Illinois, Alabama
4 - Auburn, BYU, South Carolina, Duke

 

[Urbandale2013]

North Carolina is not impressive at all to me.

 

[cyfan92]

Do we knock KU off the 2 line now? We'll see come Saturday on CBS
