Retail Slave posted:With Duke and Virginia losing, does that mean Wisconsin is probably going to be a 1-seed if they win the Big 10 tourney? It's not and it'll have me pulling my hair out until Sunday. On the one hand, it's a major-conference team with 31 wins and both regular season (by 2 games!) and tournament titles, but that loving Rutgers game.

I would think duke and VA secured #2 seeds already. I've not watched Nova, but perhaps WI can take their #1. I live in Madison, the sports radio and general chat seems to be that it would be unfair for an overall #2 WI to be in Midwest region with Kentucky. If it gets more badger fans to the games and helps them get to round of 8, then who cares. Kentucky may not like it though.

Somewhat serious question. I get why they pretend it is four separate 16 team mini tournaments for the purpose of the regions and all that. But in reality the teams are seeded 1-64, with the 1-4 seeds given the #1s in their region, the 5 seed given the #2 opposite the 4 seed, the 6 seed the #2 opposite the 3 seed, and so on. Why don't the "bracketology" guys just treat it as a real 1-64 bracket? That would allow them to talk not only about seeds, but what matchup that seed is likely to give a team.

This is not how it is done, it is all about geography. That is why Wisconsin could end up as #5 overall, but still be the 2 seed with 1 seed Kentucky in the Midwest. It's stupid, but that's how it is. edit: here's a longer explanation from a "bracketologist" (lol) http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/eye-on-college-basketball/25094087/bracketology-geography-and-balancing-the-bracket Nolan Arenado fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Mar 14, 2015 |

And, to be honest, each tournament is slightly different based on the make up of the committee. As for UVA/Duke -- I would not be at all surprised if they're both still on the 1-line tomorrow. I would also not be surprised if neither is on the 1-line tomorrow. From my own perspective neither should be. Both Arizona and Wisconsin should be, along with 'Nova.

I actually don't know if Arizona has the resume for a #1 seed. They have good wins: SDSU, Gonzaga, Utah x2, Oregon x2 (3???). But those losses (UNLV, OSU, ASU) are bad. Arizona is assuredly getting at least a #2 seed, but a #1? Eeeeehhhh that's kinda hard to justify. It would be nice and not that surprising, but it's not very obvious to me that it'd be the right choice when Virginia, Wisconsin, and 'Nova (who should basically be assured of a #1 seed, win or lose today) all have better resumes.

I dont know what to expect from baylor but they almost had a chance while shooting 10% from three against kansas so if they can hit their fts and threes they can win, baylor bitch at least we got three wins vs wvu and will beat wvu next year in football and win the championship

Glad for Wyoming, otherwise a terrible weekend so far for teams historically inept at making the tournament. Meanwhile Tulsa slumped to the expected loss, really poor end to an otherwise great season. Guess they'll be in the NIT. Going by Haith's past record, that'll be his peak with the program, hope he proves it wrong.

Would love to see that matchup again if each team can make it that far Am almost certain Arizona will end up #2 in the west regardless of what else happens. Not sure it makes a big difference whether we are 1 or 2

I still don't see why they can't just toss geography out the window and place Kansas or even Gonzaga into Kentucky's region, rather than Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin, Arizona, or whatever other team gets the short end. Kansas wouldn't even be a geographic stretch. Or Notre Dame, I dunno. edit: What a weakass bubble this year, geez. elentar fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Mar 15, 2015 |

Honestly this is one of the few years I feel like we could just do a top 8 tourney and it wouldn't make any difference in the final result. Just feels like there are 7-8 elite teams and everyone else

The city of Pittsburgh's NCAA hopes rest solely on the shoulders of Robert Morris. They are at least as likely to make the Sweet 16 as any Pitt team from the last 15 years, so GO COLONIALS.
