I’m interested to see how this committee views mid- majors vs. P5.  Could affect a lot of teams, like Indiana State, St. John’s, Virginia, Northwestern, etc.

I can’t imagine an Indiana State getting in over a Northwestern but I don’t pretend to be a bracketologist.

I want to once again than everyone who has followed this thread all year.    Thanks to all of the posters on the site for their passion for not only IU basketball but for college basketball as a whole.   We start watching in November and dont stop until April.    Sharing a passion with others is a great experience on this message board.    Even in a time where our team we are invested in is struggling its been a blast watching games with everyone.      Bracketology is a hobby of mine and i enjoy sharing that with the board.   Although i dont get to spend as much time as i would like on it with my own kids in sports non stop and other things i just dont get to work on it as much as i did in the past.   Having said that i still spend a ton of time watching the games all year to make an educated prediction just not the time to scrub the bracket multipe time a week like the national guys do

 

1.

[Uspshoosier 44,553]

1 seeds.   Uconn, Purdue, Houston, North Carolina 

Purdue had been my number one overall all year however Uconn winning their conference championship and tourney puts them ahead.  Committe likes when teams have both and the metrics are close enough to give the edge to Uconn

I agree, as much as I’d love to see it.  But I think Indiana State deserves to be in.  I haven’t seen a metric anywhere that supports them being left out.

If St. Peter's is a 16 do they get matched up with Purdue?

They would not be using POM (45th overall).  Under that metric they would not be one of the top 36 at large teams.

304th non-conference schedule and 129th overall on POM.  

Only one quad 1 win (had 5 opportunities).

22 of their 27 wins were quad 3 and 4.

While I personally would prefer them in over a couple of teams that will get in, there are metrics that support them not being in.  Don't think there would be any at large team in the field with fewer quad 1 wins or fewer combined quad 1 and 2.

[RaceToTheTop 24,296]

The one team I have in that I feel really shaky about is St. John's.  

[RaceToTheTop 24,296]

My God Renee Montgomery is really unlistenable.

My vote is Stetson.  Guard centric and shoot the three well (don't play a lick of defense though)

[RaceToTheTop 24,296]

FAU an 8?  wow.

[Home Jersey 5,530]

The East Region having games played in Spokane WA and Omaha NE will never make any sense to me

[RaceToTheTop 24,296]

Drake a 10?  That might bode well for Indiana State

[Demo 18,193]

That is a nasty 1-4 seed.

[LIHoosier 25,082]

Duquesne as an 11 had to be a placeholder for whoever won today.

[str8baller 4,845]

Tough region. Auburn only matchup issue for UConn, at all, imo. Fairly good draw for defending champs

Just imagine if they still had Luke Brown.

I think it is only for the sweet sixteen weekend.

[cbp4iu 1,346]

The east is brutal 

[Ryno6284 2,537]

First weekend games can be anywhere.

Could get BP available early but Auburn winning is not impossible
