Bracketology 2024

[CoachHines3]

So what we can assume and what's still up for grabs.

East 1. Connecticut 2. UNC
South 1. Houston 2. Tennessee if they aren't 1 in the west.
MW 1. Purdue 2. ISU or Marquette
West 1,2, Arizona and Tennessee

Left Baylor out. If they beat us tonight they probably jump.our spot. So we need a win tonight.


Basically Tennessee in the south means us or Marquette end up west.

If Tennessee goes west we should get MW because of Houston sending Marquette south.

I'm in no way a bracketologist but that seems to be the logical approach. Let me know what I'm missing.

I think we could safely say that UCONN has the east locked up as the #1. Purdue I'd say is locked into the MW #1.

If Tennessee gets the last 1 seed over AZ, I would still slot Houston into the South b/c they would be ahead on seed line and get to choose the south.

Tennessee would end up in the west as the #1

I think if Marquette wins and Baylor wins, we would fall to the overall #9 seed and be a 3. If we beat Baylor, I think we'd be a lock to be a 2. I'd think Marquette would want to be in the MW as a #2 seed therefor sending us South as UNC (east) and AZ (west) would be other 2 seeds.

I'm more concerned about which region we end up in as opposed to if we are a 2 or 3 seed in Omaha. I'd rather be a 3 seed in the Midwest than a 2 seed in the East

This. I know Lunardi isn't great but before our game yesterday, he had us as a 3 in the Midwest, playing in Omaha. Now he has us as the 2 in the East, playing in Omaha. Give me the 3 all day if that's the options.

No matter who you play in the Elite 8, it's going to be a really good team and there are 3 really hard games just to get there.

I just find it hard to believe they send a 2 from the Big XII to the South with Houston. But you're basically saying we need to beat Houston Saturday or face them.in a regional final.

If we were to be ahead of Marquette on the seed line, we could have our choice of the MW or South, I'm guessing. Maybe you can only have your choice of location and not necessarily which region.

Only the No. 1 overall seed gets to select first-weekend site.

We can't be in the south because Houston is there. They seperate conferences on the top 4 seed lines and that takes precedence over geography.

What are the main rooting interests for today?

Only thing I can see is hope for an ISU win and a Marquette loss

yeah this is basically it

duke/creighton did us favors yesterday



pool of teams, id say logically UNC/AZ are locked in as 2's.

Marquette/Iowa St/Baylor/Duke are probably 4 teams for 2 spots for the #2 line

Yep. None of us, Baylor, or KU (if they stay a 4-seed or higher) will get placed in the South because Houston has that 1 seed locked up. They have to separate conference teams in different regions that are 4-seed or better (unless there’s 5 or more from one conference in the top 16).

I think 2-seed in the East, unfortunately, is a very realistic, if not probable scenario, right now. Followed by 2 or 3 in the MW, then 3 in the West or East which is unlikely

I just can't see Duke as a contender for that after their upset loss yesterday. I think it's safe to say that they'll hold at a 3 (unless the committee is judging things quite differently than everyone else).

I would like to think so too. Almost didn't include them.. but, ya know, Duke..
