Bracketology 2024

Lunardi live on SC now

My cyclone brain cannot process the possibility of us potentially being a #1 seed…

Overall, I think at the very least we’ve jumped Marquette and probably locked that #2 seed in the Midwest region.

 

[madguy30]

Purdue for sure. Take a best of three from Houston and run off into the night lol. It would be cool in the Final Four or championship game though

Yeah it was great but on the other hand don't piss them off haha.

 

[ianoconnor]

Lunardi has UNC still at the 4th #1

 

[1UNI2ISU]

I think Iowa State jumps to the #5 overall and gets shipped West as the 2 seed to Carolina's #4/1 seed. Basically a co-1 seed situation.

That's actually the dream scenario for playing the 3rd weekend.

Lunardi was never going to move off of this. His clear statement was it didn't matter what happened today; his 4 #1s are set.

Glad the committee isn't thinking this way.

Was he drunk?

And can we just get Jon Lovitz to do his bit?

Yikes, just checked Vivid Seats and lowest priced tickets are mid $300s.

Yup and there are probably some fees added to that too. I got 3 seats 3rd row in 212 for $312 a seat plus fees around 5:15 today. When I search for 3 now it's $394 row 10.

If you have not bought tickets for Omaha yet may not hurt to buy now. I bought an all session pass on StubHub right after tipoff tonight and the cheapest upper deck seats are already going nearly $100 more a seat now for an all session pass. Guessing once it's official and game times are announced the ISU session on Thursday will be crazy high so I'm betting on what I paid for 3 sessions is still significantly less than what the Thursday ISU session and Saturday would have cost separately.

I figure Drake and/or Nebraska will be placed in Omaha too so I'm going to enjoy watching every game there. Luckily have family that lives in Omaha too so saving on hotel and plan to make this a fun 3 day trip.

So somehow the tickets I bought were row C and when I go to claim are now row M. Is there a way to file a claim with StubHub as that are not the tickets I thought I bought

This is the strongest bubble I can remember in a long time.

It's the most potential movement I recall in several years along the bubble involving teams still playing deep into their conference tournaments for at-large (or bid-steal).

 

[jsb]

Give us a one seed, you cowards.

 

[ca4cy]

I’m so sick of the same question being asked and sorry if this is taking it too far but:

People unless a bomb is dropped on the city of Omaha between now and next weekend we will playing in Omaha regardless of seed or region.

Everyone better be right...I just bought tix.

 

[Cyowa 14]

I'm not going to say I will be disappointed if we aren't the 1 seed tomorrow but it's starting to feel like wheels are in motion for it to happen. Once the committee guy said their were 3 teams in play for the final 1 seed on CBS this morning I think bracketologists realized ISU might be one of the 3 and decided to look beyond our NCSOS and really started to dig into our resume. Throw in beating Houston by almost 30 and UNC losing to 14 loss NC state and here we are

 

[Cyforce]

He’s also an idiot.

He's like the Ed Wilson of bracketology.

I think Iowa State jumps to the #5 overall and gets shipped West as the 2 seed to Carolina's #4/1 seed. Basically a co-1 seed situation.

That's actually the dream scenario for playing the 3rd weekend.

This would not be a bad situation at all. First two games in Omaha, then the weakest 1 seed of them all way out west and hard for either fan base to have a huge majority.

The worst and unfair situation would be if ISU gets put into UCONN's bracket. The best 1 seed (UCONN) should not be paired with the best or second best (depending what the committee does) 2 seed. That would stink. UCONN has Boston and they will flood that place just like they did New York the year we lost to them in the Sweet Sixteen in NYC.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Unc goes down. That makes things more interesting…

 

[JP4CY]

Root for Auburn to lose tomorrow.

Correct. It's not fair to UConn either.

2 seeds for me-
East-Tennessee
Midwest-Arizona
South-Marquette
West-Iowa State

 

[cyclonez7]

If our jerseys said Kansas instead of Iowa State then we would be a 1 seed for sure.

 

[ISpyCy]

How many other #1 and #2 seeds were picked to finish 7th in their conference? Give us the respect we deserve,

 

[jdoggivjc]

Tom Crean is on SportsCenter right now and he's advocating ISU as the 4th #1 - and not because of what we did this week, but because of what we did this year.
