Always been that way.   Drives me crazy every time they do it but they pay the guy a lot to be the most recognizable bracketologist so they like to get their moneys worth.  Just like when they pushed BPI as the metric of choice since it’s their metric.    Glad they toned that down over the years 

Yep.  That said, I do know that Mississippi's metrics despite their 19-6 record aren't what the committee likes.  They do have 3 quad 1 wins but 15 of their 19 wins are quad 3 and 4.  Kind of a mixed bag of a schedule left -- right now down 8 at Mississippi State which would be a quad 1 loss.  Games left are South Carolina (quad 2), Alabama (quad 1), at Missouri (quad 3), at Georgia (quad 2), Texas A&M (quad 2).  Current NET is 67 which is more likely out than in.  If they lose tonight and only win two of their last five that  would put them at 21-10 overall but with poor efficiency metrics and not really that strong of an schedule.

Broken play.   With LSU winning on a scramble broken play.    Heck of a play to keep it in play to give them a chance at the winner.

Definitely.  I don’t have Ole Miss in as of now

Strong @$$ play.

I can watch LSU games now without wanting them to lose.  McNeese gets most my hate now because of their Strong A.. coach

My ratings like them but I know what I give value doesn't rate as high to the committee.  They've accumulated wins and I rate wins v. overall schedule and what specific teams you won and lost or margin of victory.

Hell of a finish coming up in Colorado state New Mexico.  Tie game.

[RaceToTheTop 24,931]

Horrendous defense by Colorado state.  Layup and one with 2.7 seconds left.  Lobos up 1 with free throw coming

And then bad defense by New Mexico lets Colorado state get up court and call a time out.  Rams ball in front court, 2.4 seconds down 2

Lobos win

Ranked teams went 2-4 against unranked teams today

IU doing their part to ensure the B1G bubble teams get a solid Q2 road win for the resumes.   B1G will be grateful the contribution 

If one good thing came out of tonight, it's that I get to see Tominaga go thermonuclear against some poor unsuspecting 7 seed

Maybe. Some games of Nebraska are like his second half last night, where he can’t hit a shot and largely disappears. I can see that happening since the big ten will probably crap the bed in the tourney.
