We are so mumped. As soon as I saw Creighton with Virginia as a possible next team I just knew we’d be the 9.

If we somehow manage to get past creighton I bet we don’t crack 50 against UVA.

the committee absolutely mumped kansas state, which is not surprising since they don't respect oscar weber

The good news is it was not chunky, but bad news is some of it got on the rug in front of the toilet

creighton, whom i have extensively scouted this season, is going to roll us

they beat no one away from their home court. St Johns and then Ucla on a neutral court

3-6 vs Seton Hall, Providence, Butler, Marquette

The Flush says bring it on

People losing their crap about Syracuse, AGAIN, but the most egregious thing Rasmussen said was that Notre Dame was the first team out? WTF? They lost to freaking Indiana and Ball State with Bonzie Colson in the damn lineup.

I thought ND deserved it over Cuse personally. Also definitely fair to put Baylor on the other side of the cut line, but I feel that OSU had at least as good a claim as ASU and they weren’t even mentioned.

They were 3-3 vs Q1/Q2, and had 2 Q3 losses with a healthy Bonzie. That's why I didn't think they belonged.   Without him, 4-8 vs Q1/Q2

OSU's RPI is down to 88, the only way they were getting in is if they completely ignored the metric the last year it's exclusively going to be used.

We won at Baylor, Texas and OKSt. Beat Tcu on a neutral court. At Vandy was also a Q2 road win

Yes we went winless vs the Very top teams but We went 9-2 overall vs Tcu/OU/Texas/Baylor/OkSt.

Creighton did beat Nova once (props to them) but 1-4 overall vs top teams Nova Xavier and Gonzaga

they say they don't use the team's own rpi.  i don't know about teams in other conferences, although i suspect several teams would be worse than osu, but just in the big 12, there's no way to rationalize choosing texas or oklahoma over osu.  it's rough ridin' ridiculous.

Anyone know when they release game times? I don’t know why I’m watching so obsessively this year...

Final Projections--

#1-12
Virginia Nova Ku Xavier
UNC Duke Purdue Cincy
Tenn Sparty Mich WV

#13-24
Auburn Arizona WSU TTech
UK Clemson Zags OhioSt
Houston Fla aTm Miami

#25-36
Arkansas TCU Nevada RIU
Mizzou SHall VTech Kstate
Providence StBony Bama NCSt

#37-46
Butler USC OU FSU
Last 4 - Creighton/Ucla Texas/ASU
Loyola-Chicago, SDSU

* Davidson did upset RIU. Bubble spot lost. Sorry Marquette.

Creighton being a 8 surprised me (but not others)
St Bony getting a 11 when RIU was a 7 was little puzzling if you compare them
I'm glad St Mary's & Lousville weak resumes were left out


I got 35 of the 46 with correct seed. 
I had USC in over The Cuse
Was off with Creighton, West Virginia and St Bony by more than 1 seed line.
