Hmm

 

Stony Brook (This could be scary, if theres a upset at the 4-13, this might be it)

California

Wisconsin

Virginia

 

I'll take that all day. However i'm not sure we'll get lucky and get to play in Iowa.. I think we'll be packing our bags for the west coast.

Think as you will, its projections, afterall. I am sure your algorhytms are better than his.

 

 

I say that because the committee hasn't been the nicest to IU in recent years.

This is worst case scenario in my mind.... I would want to be in any bracket besides the Virginia Bracket.... Playing against Virginia gives me flashbacks to playing against Syracuse.... not at all the same defense, but GREAT defense that you don't see everyday.... Yikes...

 

Before that though I would rather play Stony Brook than Akron or South Dakota State... wouldn't mind UNC-Wilmington.

And Cal is the #5 seed I would most like to play... of these projections...

I would rather play Arizona or Iowa State (of the 5 seeds).  Cal is a big, athletic team that excels on defense.  They can get a bit loose with their shot selection and run at times though.

We've beaten 20% of that field this year though, so that's something.

I feel like Cal would try to run with us and I'm confident that there isn't a team on the country who can be successful against us with that gameplan... Arizona scares me, Iowa state is usually overrated but Niang is tough...

Bottoms' final bracket. IU as a 4 seed in Des Moines vs Fresno St with #5 Cal/#12 Yale in the opposing game.

Bottoms' update for the final bracket. IU is still a #4 in Des Moines except the #13 is now Iona. Cal/Yale stays the same.

List of schools in the 40/40 KenPom club that should be your eventual National Champ.

 

Kansas

Virginia

Villanova

UNC

Mich St

West Virginia

Oklahoma

Purdue

Texas A&M

Xavier

Iowa

Arizona

Maryland

Vanderbilt

 

 

EDIT: I have been told that KenPom's rankings have a factor in for most recent games. I would guess that that factor does not rank very high in the equation since Iowa and Vandy are still on this list.
