12  Akron, N Iowa, Yale, McNeese

13. High Point, Hofstra, Hawaii, Troy

Yale out and High Point to a 12 while Penn is a 13

With Penn winning and unless Dayton pulls off a comeback, here's my first foray into bracketeering. My goal is to do better than Bowl Cut and going by recent years in the Bracket Matrix, that should be an easy task. If Wichita beats S Florida, they go in that 12 spot since they're not changing it that late.

If Vandy wins this game they should probably be a seed but not sure committee will pull the trigger this late

SMU might be this years West Virginia.  They have a kid that hasn’t played the last couple weeks and they have struggled without him.  They say he will be available but who knows.   I won’t be surprised if they get left out

Yeah what I was pointing out was the lack of wins against Power 5 teams in the tourney not the runs.    Crean beat Chattanooga, New Mexico st, VCU, Temple, James Madison and    Kentucky was the only power 5 team he beat.   

Yeah can only play the teams in front of you. His success in the B1G couldn’t get him past the SW16, but at least he had us there several times.

VCU wins the A10

I hear you I was just pointing out the lack of Power5 wins for IU as a program in the tourney.  Just one of those stats that stands out.

I moved Purdue to the 2 line. They should jump some teams to get there after this week.  Let’s see if the committee bumps them up or keeps them.   I know the history but I’m moving them anyway

Duke’s draw is tough…

[LIHoosier]

so O$U got an 8 seed, didn't think they were that safe

Worst 2 seed ever, in my biased opinion.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

TCU and UCF are weak 9 and 10. I am betting on OSU and UCLA (if healthy) to throttle them.

But Mick 'one time zone' Cronin has to go ALL the way to Philly

2nd year in a row that CBS’s selection show has been preempted where I am by severe weather alerts by the local stations. 

[LIHoosier]

oh man, a certain poster's wildest dreams almost came true

[Home Jersey]

A combined 28 national titles in the east region this year. Insane 

[BtownStrength]

NC State to Dayton but Missouri avoids it? OK then..

[LIHoosier]

LET'S GO QUEENS!

[HinnyHoosier]

Lol those A-holes would get a first year eligible team.
