2023 NCAA Tournament and Bracket Discussion

[BB73]

What’s the point of #1 or #2 overall when the regions have these prospective Elite-8 games?:

1-7
2-6
3-5
4-8

Pitt/MSST is a good one in the first 4

You wonder if that buzzer-beater loss at tOSU, where the refs said they missed the call, would have gotten them in.

As we know all too well, that loss looked worse as the season went along.

Texas Southern can tell them where to eat in Dayton. They've been there a few times.

I think I heard somewhere that the commitee was counting that as a Quad1 win for Rutgers

Yeah, but not all Quad 1 games are the same. You've still got humans making decisions and a loss to the 13th place B1G team is a bad look.

Purdue first 1 seed out….

Twitter seems mad that Nevada and Arizona State got in over Rutgers and North Carolina. Nevada has the best NET rating of the four but ASU has the worst. The Sun Devils probably don't make it without this shot at Arizona.

Pretty much can bet on it. In fact, I think I will.

The sad truth about this season is OSU had the talent to firmly be in this field & it just fell apart. There are a handful of at-large teams with lower KenPom ratings than OSU. May the Buckeyes never get left out again.

 

[DZ83CK]

I feel like betting on Drake and VCU. Now just watch them get beat bad. I second the Purdue skepticism - Memphis has talent that can be trouble for them.

I kind of feel bad for Rutgers, but they are exactly the type of team that the NIT is for - pissed off they didn't make the dance, now they've got something to prove and it gives an immediate chance to do something to feel better about the end of their season.

 

[RB07OSU]

Didn't even get to the NIT lol. Even if we did get a bid I would have been of the opinion of a hard pass with no chance of the Tourney and getting some late wins. Focus on next year and developing our roster, I am not into NIT consolation games.

DraftKings is doing a contest to see who can get the lowest bracket score and it seems like a great time for me to just submit my regular bracket picks.
