Bracketology and Selection Sunday Discussion

[DZ83CK]

I wouldn't pick Belmont as an at-large if it was me. They lost only 5 times, but played a super weak schedule and three of their losses were to teams not even in the top-100, and their best wins were against Lipscomb. I don't think the talent level at Belmont is truly on par with that of the middling power conference teams. They would be out in my book.

If we are comparing Indiana and Belmont and you ask me which is the better team, I am picking Indiana. I get that Belmont had a very good season, but at the end of the day the whole point of having at-large bids is to include the best teams available.

Looks like the NIT field will be tilted even more heavily to mid-majors than it has been lately. Already Campbell, Belmont, Loyola (IL), Drake, and Radford have earned NIT bids by virtue of their regular season titles, and all have lost in their conference tourneys while none have a great chance of making the NCAA tourney as an at-large. .

I almost forgot how bad the selection show was last year. Great to see it returning to it's original form

Bucks gave the committee some excitement!

Ohio State vs. Indiana is a play in game. Let's hope Kaleb gives us a spark

Apparently NC interviews are more important than a Big Ten game

but the PAC 12 games are very important

Although I think OSU is in a pretty clear situation (win=NCAA, loss=NIT), all bubble teams need to hope Wofford wins this championship at 7pm or that's one less available bid.

Considering Wofford has torn through the SoCon with machine-like precision and beaten their foe tonight handily twice, a loss today would be extremely disappointing.

Greensboro with a lead going to the stretch.

Of course

yeah, all it takes is for a couple of teams not expected to get bids get the automatic and those last 4 teams in all need to do a little extra work to get in. Buckeyes are not safe. May take 2 wins in B1G Tourney to get in.

Other potential bid stealing scenarios are the WCC if Gonzaga loses and the MAC if Buffalo loses. And believe it or not maybe the PAC 12 if Washington loses, although a lot of brackets have Arizona State in right now

this one just feels like UNCG is going to pull it out.

Terriers on a 12-0 run.
