The last one https://haslametrics.com/ratings.php has us as an 11 seed. Maybe out of 130 or so brackets, hoping this is the one who got it right. Your optimism is fantastic!

Slu let the dogs out? Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 1 hour ago, Matty Light said: Who cares what Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm and other journalists think? They don't run this tournament. Business executives do. They want the best product. The CSU Rams, Drake and Wichita State are not it. SLU's resume is considerably better than those teams. You think CBS's producers aren't relishing the chance to feature Jordan Goodwin and Travis Ford's 92 Final Four? I think we will be first 4 in. We all saw each conference's product in the conference tournaments. The A10 was far above the MWC, MVC, AAC, and all the other non-power 6. There are so many great players. They have to give 2 at-large to the A-10. Was thinking about that earlier this morning. SLU’s 30+ day COVID pause in which 80% of the team tested positive who is now looking to make a deep run in the tourney; and one of the nation’s top double double machines who happens to be a guard. Does any other bubble team have an interesting story to tell? NO, THEY SURE AS HELL DON’T!! Would it be enough to push us over the line? Sweet mother of god I sure hope so...

Matty Light Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Big Ten and SEC really put on some entertaining basketball in its tournaments along with the Big 12. I think they are the clear top 3 conferences this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenbill Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 11 minutes ago, Lando Griffin said: Your optimism is fantastic! Wasn't trying to be optimistic, but OK. The thing is, there were nine games this weekend that could be a positive influence on our chances, and six went our way. We pretty much had to get 8 of them, the only one that could go either way was LSU today. So, thanks Creighton and Colorado, for nothing.

A lot of runner-up finishes going back to 1989, when Steve Fisher's Wolverines became the 1st team to win after Bob Knight's last title (1987). Illinois was the runner up in 1989.

RUBillsFan Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 13 minutes ago, HoosierPal said: That’s pretty amazing. In fairness, the Big East title game was not really competitive. That being said, the time slot of the A10 Championship game is pretty fantastic. You're on CBS on Selection Sunday during a prime sports viewing time. People like to watch sports on Sunday afternoons. Years of the NFL & golf has trained them that way. You've also had nearly a whole week/weekend of Championship week getting people hyped up about college basketball. Kudos to the A10 for getting that slot on CBS.
