BottomLine Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Below are the latest bracket projections from Joe Lunardi broken into groups of four. With each team is their season record, Pomeroy rating, Sagarin Rating, and T-Rank Rating. The T-Rank Rating is probably closest to the breakdown that the NCAA Committee will use. It should make conference tournament watching interesting. Of course, as games are played the numbers will also change. BTW How in the world can Clemson be on the bubble?

Not sure why he hasn't updated it today. Quote

cbp4iu Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I’m guessing Temple and Seton Hall are locks now. Winner of Clemson/NcState stays in the field of 68 loser goes home. If Xavier beats Creighton you can probably cross them off. Quote

mdn82 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I added updated NET in front of the name. I think Joe should smoke a smidge less on a few of these. Either that, or NET means diddley I think over the last few weeks you are putting too much emphasis on NET. I feel I have seen a few people say that to you and you continue to be surprised by some of the things you see. The NET is not the be all end all. They aren’t going to use it 1-68 to pick the field. It’s the discussion starter, not discussion ender. That and Joe is far from the best at what he does (that also has not been updated). Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
HoosierFan1994 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Joe updated his this morning. IU is the first team out. Ohio State is the last team in. Buckle up. It will be an exciting week. Str8Hoosiers, ALASKA HOOSIER, Hutch89 and 1 other 4 Quote
hoopsta007 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 It’s beating a dead horse but Texas is still in Joe’s field and Butler is still in the running for an at large bid. He really gets paid for this stuff? yogisballin 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Agree. With the way this team is playing they can make a deep run. They may have an 11 or 12 in front of their name come tournament time but it won't matter much. Have to beat Ohio State though. I think IU is in if they do that. If not, it will be close. mdn82 1 Quote

We could even avoid Dayton which would be nice. It all comes down to the fact that IU has some good wins and they are playing well at the end of the season. I just don't think at team like Belmont should be in over us. Mainly because they haven't beaten anybody and I think IU would beat them by 10-15 points. Quote

The NCAA LOVES matchups like that. Of course, I'm getting way, way ahead of myself. We have to get in first. And then win a game. Str8Hoosiers and BGVille Hoosierfan 2 Quote
Lebowski Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 15 losses Texas won't get in. They face Kansas. Florida has the same win-loss record as IU and the only win (not plural) worth a darn is then #13 LSU on the road. Ole boy from ESPN has FL as a 'Last Four Byes', not only in but with a freakin' bye? The more I look at ESPN's analogy the better I feel about IU's chances of dancing. Quote
