Friday rooting guide:

VCU over St. Bonnie

Memphis over Wichita

Tennessee over Texas

Duke over UNC

UCSD over UCSB

New Mexico over Boise State

Utah State over Colorado State

Won’t be awake when the bottom 3 end I don’t think, but the first 4 went our way. My hunch is Texas is out and IU oughta be ahead of UNC; if so we need to worry about bid thieves but there aren’t many left.

IU was out as soon as Flagg went down

Indiana I think is in unless there are 2-3 bid thieves. Book the hotel rooms for Dayton.

You are setting yourself up for some disappointment.

I go to the first 4 every year. Never been a disappointment yet.   One of my favorite 2 days of the year

Oh most definitely.  I was talking about the hope that Indiana would be playing in Dayton.  At this point I do not see that.

Even though IU is going to ruin it and make it stressful this year? ;)

I do and a lot of other top bracketologist see it.  As long as there isn’t more then 2 bid stealers I think IU is in 

[Uspshoosier 54,661]

The committee probably has the field set by tonight and will seed tomorrow.  Reminder they most games played after Friday usually don’t get factored in for selection or seeding 

this years bubble teams are interesting. I’m looking forward to how it unfolds

So if Michigan were to blow this lead and draw to 31 NET, they should have committee would still be viewing it as a quad 1 loss for IU?

How many potential bid stealers do you see as we get late in the game? I can’t see any left from the power conferences, who would be the ones you’d worry about from the 1-2 bid leagues?

Do you think that lunardi is nuts for actually have Xavier move up when they lost to Marquette?

American, MWC, big west (maybe). A-10 I guess but I don’t think VCU is in as an at large

that is my assumption — but ups delivers the more accurate one.

From my experience with dealing with projecting the field yes I would say they have already selected based on the information they have by now

MWC 

American 

are the main ones.  VCU could be but I have them behind IU and Big West has 2 really good teams that would want to get in however it will be tough I think to get 2 in from that conference 

[Uspshoosier 54,661]

Plenty of the top end bracketologist have IU ahead of Texas and UNC. When they update tomorrow I will post some of their last 4 in.

Mr Usps, who are the top bracketologists in your opinion?
