Braketology - 1/19/15

[blizzisu]

Iowa St. is a 3 seed in Lunardi's latest bracketology. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology/_/iteration/203

That bracket isn't too bad with Villanova and Arizona as the 1 and 2 seeds. A potential matchup vs UNI would be fun too.

 

[bawbie]

Duke lost at home to an unranked team and MOVED UP from a 2-seed to a 1-seed?

Of course they did.

 

[Doc]

8 of 10 B12 teams fairly comfortably in. Okie State is on the bubble, but still in the actual tournament, not just the play-in game.

 

[bigdaddykane]

Nova is so overrated.

Iowa fan in comments already complaining about their 9-seed.

 

[Wesley]

Rather play UNI than Arizona.

that is crazy.

 

[bigdaddykane]

Maryland is a 2 seed

When I saw Iowa and UNI both dropped I figured...

 

[HFCS]

Maryland is a 2 seed

Hope some of their fans see this so they stop complaining about being ahead of ISU in every single ESPN story about ISU.

The ideal realistic scenario (at this point of the season) is Iowa State getting a 3 in the region that Villanova is the 1 and Gonzaga is the 2. I think we'd probably be the Vegas favorite for the Final Four.

If we are somehow able to keep 8 in, 1-2 are going to be on that edge just because of numbers and having a fairly large number of losses. Part 2 is the conference is breaking down again with the poor non-conf performer at the top (KSU) and a couple good non-conf performers lower in the conference.

Palm also has us up to a three seed.

 

[Wesley]

that is crazy.

So you can also say the B12 tournament will be a prelude to the NCAAs?

 

[mj4cy]

If the big 12 gets 7 or 8 and ISU survives at the top, how is that not at least a 2 seed?



Also, how does Iowa winning 2 in a row have them trending downward?

Tubby needs to get his crap together. He is making the rest look bad.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I like Lunardi's better than Palm's, but Palm's is probably more realistic.

Check that - he has both Nova and Zags as 1 seeds.

Lunardi's "S" curve.

Nova is a pretender, but I think Gonzaga is the real deal. Very much a final 4 caliber team.
