Bizziken Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Unfortunately, I don't think we will get in. But, it IS worth noting that most Bracketologists are off by 1-3 teams every year. I think Lunardi has correctly predicted an average of 66.5 out of 68 teams since the field expanded to 68. And this year is more uncertain than most. So his bracket likely has 1-2 spots of 'wiggle' room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is today’s results have no impact on the field, you are either in or out now. marshdylan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So their work is done, it’s just a matter of how the dominos fall and which bracket corresponds with today’s results. marshdylan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do both of those teams winning put us into the 30s? We're being displaced by teams with NET rankings in the 70s. The NET ranking is being used as a general purpose sorting tool but in edge cases, it's being ignored in favor of big wins, conference record and road wins. Without the extended COVID pause, we're in a much better place on all those edge case tiebreakers. Coach Ford has smartly lobbied that point all week. It was the only hand he had to play.

AnkielBreakers Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The A10 is a 3 bid conference year in and year out. The programs have that kind of talent and the conference deserves that respect. The committee should make that happen. The MVC is a 1 bid conference. What is frustrating is that bid stealing is allowed. They should establish the number of teams a conference, big or small, gets in, and then boot the lowest team in that conference if a new team wins their tournament. For example, UCLA should be out now and UCONN as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Has anyone checked on @Pistol? in addition to the Georgetown and Oregon State debacles last night, Grand Canyon (who if you’ve been paying attention Pistol doesn’t hold in high regard and neither do I) won their auto-bid.

The NET is being ignored in the cases of 2 Power Conference gift bid recipients in Louisville and Michigan State. Why? Follow the money. Each game played in the NCAA Tourney produces an NCAA Unit valued at $1.8 to $1.9 Million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
