Bracketology and Team Resumes

[Ryno6284 4,484]

Does the committee take into affect the  pre con teams we play that win their tourney?  I know when we play them, their NET isn't good, but if/when they end up getting an autobid, does that look any different from an IU perspective as a W?  Hope this makes sense!

Not really.   Not enough to move the needle. Most of those are still Q4 games however it does add a win against the field but the only thing that would move to the needle would be if a high major team you played went on a run and won their conference tourney.

Well, we all know where there's a job opening available.   :-D

Seems no bid stealers from the MVC this year

Five way tie for 12th in the expanded Big Ten, and Nebraska draws the short straw do to tie breakers, and will not play in the BTT, despite having the best overall record of the five.  That has to sting a little bit.

Nebraska had an OT game this week that would likely at least temporarily put them in the field.  Brutal end to the season.

@Uspshoosierdoes the fact that IU played only three Q4 games have any pull?

FWIW, only 5 teams played 3 or fewer Q4 games.

Each individual committee member can bring it up when they are evaluating teams if they want.  It won’t hurt when they are comparing to bubble teams that have played 7 or 8 Q4 games and a non con sos in the 250 +.   Even with ius terrible non con they lucked out most their buy games ended up being Q3 and their non sos is acceptable

St Marys did their job now the Zags turn to shut out any bid stealers out of the WCC

How many true bid steal opportunities are out there this year?

I know VCU, Gonzaga/St. Mary, Drake all need to win so that makes 3. Are there any others that are primed to cause trouble if the favorite loses?

VCU is not guaranteed to get an at-large  if they lose their tourney.   A-10 might be a 1 bid league however hard to put a  number on it because teams can win the migh major leagues that could steal a bid like NC State did last year.   Usually around 2 or 3 bids get taken in a year however last year 5 were stolen

Winthrop dropped to a Q4 win for IU.

Rutgers is now at net 76 — if they could finish at 75, they would move to Q2 win.

Ok now do one that doesn't suck butt at it.

[Hovadipo 61,707]

@Uspshoosier I have a theory that Lunardi has an actual bracketology setup that he does for his own, but the one that we all see and is submitted to the matrix is for clicks and engagement for ESPN. You can't do this for as long as he has and be THAT bad at it right?

Watch his tv projections leading up to the selection and then watch his last 4 in and out on his last tv appearance.   He definitely does things for clicks and then when it gets closer submits the real one.
