Houston has a chance to get their first Q1 win today.  Lol.   Win against SMU is only win against team close to the field.   If they lose today they probably shouldn’t be a 5 seed like I have them they should be a 6 or 7 but I think the committee already has them set for seeding 

Can’t wait to be matched up against Houston in 6/11 matchup in what the committee will claim is a coincidence

Personally, I'm not sure they can get it to line up.  Houston should be a 4 or 5 and I think IU is an 11 IMO.

And given that the Sampson experience was like a decade ago, not sure they view it as being all that relevant now anyway.

Yeah, the people fantasizing about some of these potential matchups are looking at it as if the committee consisted of IU fans, when to them, we're no different than Virginia Tech or Miami.

@Uspshoosier what is the rationale for having Kentucky ahead of Tennessee? This isn’t a question solely directed at you because a lot of brackets have it this way. 
 

Tennessee is 2-1 against Kentucky and is about to win SEC the tournament. Metrics are pretty similar with Tennessee about to have more quad 1 wins.

Good question.   I think this game today is too late in the process to matter much for seeding of them.    Doesn’t make it right because the more you look the more it looks like if Tennessee wins they should move in front.   Before today I think the road wins Kentucky has against tourney teams Bama and especially the road win at 1 seed Kansas separates them.   Tenn doesn’t have a road win against a projected tourney team.    When splitting hairs little things like that can be the factor

Thanks. Kinda what I figured, just hoped it wasn’t because they are, you know, Kentucky

IMO their resumes are nearly identical except UK is 4-5 spots ahead on both NET and efficiency.

Yeah I just think you would have to factor in head to head at that point. And Tennessee would win that beating UK twice

So when will the selection show be moved back a day or moved back a few hours because not having enough time is trash. These teams work year round essentially and deserve a fair selection based on the entire season. Not having enough time to get it right is sad

Notice IU mysteriously passes both Notre Dame  and Rutgers on Lunardis seed list hours before the selection show.   Espn knows how to drive clicks.  Most on here know by now what they do but just wanted to point out their process.  He moved IU into the first 4 games yesterday

Yeah it stinks but I don’t see it changing.  Maybe they switch it up and take this games into account.   If Tennessee is a 2 seed today then you know they did but if they are a 3 then it’s the same old story

What baffles me is that there’s like three games today, the committee could ABSOLUTELY draw up contingencies for a variety of outcomes.

It does get a little more difficult when trying to avoid conference matchups as long as possible.

A bubble barring a miracle is about to pop

[FightFor6 894]

Great work, Davidson.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,181]

I don't see any way I get in over IU. 

[RaceToTheTop 23,561]

I have Xavier bumped out of mine.  Miami bumped down to play in.

EDIT:  GOing to switch it after Texas A&M game.  Texas A&M to play in, Miami stays at 11.

DOUBLE EDIT:  Ooops....I had Texas A&M already in play.  Move Miami (F) to play in, Davidson down to an 11, VaTech up to a 10.

TAM was the one I was worried most

[BtownStrength 993]

I wonder what the Richmond win does to our position.
