Lomax against Chandler/Zeigler would be a bloodbath.


Lomax is riding a pretty good wave right now, 20 assists and 3 turnovers last 3 games (was 9-0 against Cincy). Hoping he's turned a corner but you just never know with this team. Honestly though, if this were the break down I can't see us getting past Uconn. Those Big East teams look physical and the Tigers seem to struggle a lot when things get like that.

OT: Kinda horseshite that if Auburn doesn't get the Greenville SC spot as a 1-seed, the best they can hope for is Fort Worth or Indianapolis

Auburn will get Greenville as long as they are ahead of 1 of Tennessee or Duke on the seed line which seems to be a near lock.

I just don’t want to see Davidson in the first round.

Always thought it was weird that the difference between a 4 and a 5 seed was practically nothing. You start off against either 12 or 13, then play each other.

That said, it'd be interesting to get Gonzaga again if we somehow made the Sweet 16. Not sure we survive that encounter a second time.

8 seed is too low for Arkansas. LSU seems high at 5.

I'd feel both good and bad about my expected draw for Ole Miss. Good that I'd be confident, bad that I'm confident there's no chance. lol

oh wow if we went on a run imagine running into Gonzaga playing a revenge game?

we'd lose by fitty lol
the zags just have a revenge mindset in general after how last year ended. They’ll probably have the best odds to reach the final four when the tournament starts and are my pick to win it all this year

If im not mistaken, 12 is generally the cut off for high majors and 13 and below is where you start seeing mid/low major auto bids. So if you are a 4 you have a better chance at an auto-bid team but if you are a 5 you are gambling with playing a hot team that fought their way in to the tourney or a team that barely held on to make it in.

I would not be remotely shocked if they put Duke as close to home as possible for Coach K’s last hurrah. Definitely a variable that has to be accounted for with the way the NCAA loves to pimp to ticket sales and TV ratings.

Is 50% NET really an accurate way to forecast this? I was under the impression NET wasn't really used as a direct indicator by the committee, but rather a measurement of your wins and losses.

When it comes to the 9 seeds, would rather see Iowa. Also not a fan of Arizona as the 1 seed match up in the next round.

I would take Chandler and Z. Ziegler is as tough as they come and plays with a chip on his shoulder every night.

Anything but the Arizona bracket of death would be fine.

We’ll probably lose the first game or make the elite 8.

I would feel fantastic, morally speaking, that we are no longer subjecting a tiny sliver of the American public to the abortion formally known as Georgia basketball.

If Bama wins all their remaining games sans Kentucky, and at least one in the SEC tournament, do they move up to a 4 seed? Or would it take another big win or two on top of those, like upsetting Kentucky during the regular season and/or making it past a top 4 seed in the conference tournament?
