its early for real bracketology talk, but no way we should be a 9 seed right now.  Our big weakness is our SOS is not real good, but we have a win over a team in the top 15 and a team in the top 40 (RPI) and our 2 losses are both to top 10 teams

He has VCU as a 6 seed......... they have 3 losses (all to good teams) but their best win is Belmont
Kentucky as a 7 seed ......... they have 4 losses (all to good teams) and they have 1 win vs top 150 (Maryland)
Gtown as a 6 seed .... they have 2 losses, a similar SOS to us, and best win is UCLA (who projects as 8 seed)
cincy as a 6 seed......... 3 losses, best win is at pitt, their RPI is simailar to ours

Id guess we should be a 7 seed right now( maybe even a 6 seed), OK St a 7 seed and Baylor a 9

The bracket sets up well, but I think our only two losses coming against top ten teams, and having a win against another top ten team, should put us higher than a 7 seed.  Does it really matter whether we played the #150 ranked team or the #300 ranked in the non-con games?  Both should be easy wins.

If we keep winning Big XII games, then everything will balance itself out in the court of public opinion. The Cats barely beat UMKC and barely beat Florida, I'm not sure America knows what the Cats are right now.

Joe, why do you have k-state so low in the seedings. I know they are ranked but how do you have them as a 7 seed?



Joe Lunardi
  (2:32 PM)


To me, the more relevant question is why the polls rank K-State so high. Nothing about their profile or performance screams Top 15-20 to me. And more than half of the wins are sub-200, great Florida victory notwithstanding.

Agreed, top 50/25 wins should matter for bubble teams, but teams that are "in" who gives a eff whether there schedule happened to include 100+ teams or 200+ teams.

When comparing resumes in March, your criteria is the criteria that matters. The committee looks at the top 50 wins.  The top 100/200 wins are only used to illustrate why you are currently in the RPI.  That answer is a cop out by Joe.  No one talks about that in March, or now for that matter.

I don't like Wisconsin's slow pace, but I appreciate how they play. I would want a little more explosive, up and down game if I was a Badger fan, but I still have an appreciation for a basketball team that exhibits a high level of BBIQ. Probably makes me a bit tuckish, but whatever.

I don't like that they ended our season twice, but my answer to that is to beat them, not to get mad at them, especially because its not like they cheated or were cheap in beating us. They made more plays and Ryan worked Frank to an extent in both games.

Bo is a great coach.  He gets it done every year in conference.  The guys that know him the best he beats the most = stud.  He schooled the crap out of Groce and our senior FPs.  Made Illinois look like a high school team.  He was all class after though, even gave Groce a little pep talk during the handshake.  I love him for owning Crean and IU.

oscar is a big part of it because he recruited the kids, so ultimately he's responsible.

But what a messed up and fragile group of players if they can buy in for a while and then lose it for two completely different coaches.

But what a messed up and fragile group of players if they can buy in for a while and then lose it for two completely different coaches.

Those guys need a player to tell the world that he won't play in the NIT.

Joe, why do you have k-state so low in the seedings. I know they are ranked but how do you have them as a 7 seed?

Joe Lunardi  (2:32 PM)


To me, the more relevant question is why the polls rank K-State so high. Nothing about their profile or performance screams Top 15-20 to me. And more than half of the wins are sub-200, great Florida victory notwithstanding.

Eff you, Joe.

Yeah, it's brutal to watch.  With them, it really is about just giving up.  This season is currently following precisely the same path as last season.  The first sign of sustained adversity and they quit.  It's always much tougher to generate offense in conference play, but they let it directly affect their defensive and rebounding effort as well.  "Oh man I'm not getting my points easily might as well start half-assing it on defense and the boards too." :flush:

It doesn't mean anything when they say stuff like that.  They've proven they don't back up tough talk.  Plus they didn't play in the NIT last year.  If they said it this year it would really be serving it up for everyone to mush them hard.  I mean if you tank so bad that you miss the postseason entirely, then you kept your word right?

I think the committee would like to send us or Mizzou to the KC pod.   Now if neither of us are a 6 seed or better, then i think the chances are basicly non existent.   

Get the 5 seed Cats and our chances for KC would be great

If the Cats get a 7 seed, i dont like our chances at all at playing at Sprint.   Even if Mizzou and Wsu finished as 8/9 seeds lets say.

They usually take care of 1 and 2 seeds very well....... so a) i think there are other pods that the #2 seeds would go to over KC and b) if a 2 seed did come to KC, they usually dont put the 2 seed at a disadvantage with the 7 seed playing so close to home

So by rooting against other teams that could be 5-6-7 seeds...... our chances increase of getting a 5/6 seed.

Too much thought IMO, also KSU played in Omaha as an 11 seed. There are one or two teams like that every year. If we win we'll get a good seed and pod consideration. Worrying about others should be for bubble teams during Championship Week.

As we get closer to March, i will have weekly breakdowns of the teams that are "seed wise" right there with K-State, but here is a my quick thought about where we are right now.   I think we are a solid 5 seed.    We have 4 nice wins (1 of them a great win.  OU/OK St are top 35 rpi teams who are prob 7-9 seeds right now)

IMO right now =
4 seeds -- Ohio St, Butler, Cincy, Minnesota
5 seeds -- Oregon, KState, Marq, Creighton
6 seeds -- Gtown, UNLV, NC State, Wich St
7 seeds -- Pitt, Ucla, SD St, OK St

Of the 6/7 seeds, Georgetown is the only one that has a resume on par with us.    They have only 4 losses and 3 nice wins ( Lville, at ND, Ucla)

And our resume is better than 5 seed Creighton and Marq too --
Creighton =  Only 3 losses, but they have only 1 top 50 win (Wisc on nuetral court) and their SOS is about 126
Marq =  They, like us, only had 1 top 100 win in the non-con and their win is vs Wisky.  They do have good rpi/sos (13/16)

Looks like that's not updated, _Fan.  We're 17-4 and WSU is 19-4.

Yeah, I just noticed the info I got to compile it was from before Saturday's games. Also, our non-D1 win doesn't count.

It'll only show us as 16-4 after it's updated.  One of our wins was against a lower-division team (the team that beat UNT the game before we played in that tournament at the start of the year).   Thanks TastyGreek!

Yeah Lunardi isn't that great.  My final projection (right b4 selection Sunday) is by no meens perfect, but each of the last 4 yrs I have been closer with projected seeds than him.   

That being said there are a few people on that BracketProject site that are absolutely clueless. Last week somebody had us as a 10 and Wisky as a 4.

No kidding. What bothers me more than underseeding is when they get lazy with the placement of conference opponents. It's not hard to spread them out. The selection committee is allowed to bump a team up or down a seed to prevent this from happening.

Fla as a 3 seed???    They have a top 5 resume.  At worst they are the best 2 seed
ILL as a 8 seed???  Like someone mentioned, they are 3-7 in the Big 10.  Hello 11 seed for now
Oregon as a 9 seed??   They had 2 losses before their PG got hurt.   They are a 5-6 seed right now.   Committee will factor in injuries some

Iowa St and Wich St as last 4 in???  Tell me what the F*** Kentucky has done.  They are 16-6.  3 wins over top 100. And probably 1 win over a NCAA tourney team..... and this moron has them higher ranked than Isu or Wsu.

KU vs. Skoal Aggie in a 3 vs. 11 2nd round matchup in KC  :lol:

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology

Seriously, some guys doing projections are just freaking morons. 
Fla as a 3 seed???    They have a top 5 resume.  At worst they are the best 2 seed
ILL as a 8 seed???  Like someone mentioned, they are 3-7 in the Big 10.  Hello 11 seed for now
Oregon as a 9 seed??   They had 2 losses before their PG got hurt.   They are a 5-6 seed right now.   
Committee will factor in injuries some

Iowa St and Wich St as last 4 in???  Tell me what the F*** Kentucky has done.  They are 16-6.  3 wins over top 100. And probably 1 win over a NCAA tourney team..... and this moron has them higher ranked than Isu or Wsu.

The Fighting Breads won again last night, this time at #18 Minnesota.  We'll see what they do with this mini-resurgence.  The best news is that I can now watch college basketball again for the time being.  Big Monday!

So I think Kstate is  still a 4 seed.

IMO as of 2/12 =

1 seeds --  Indiana, Duke, Miami, Michigan
2 seeds -- Fla, Gonz, Cuse, Ariz
3 seeds-- Mich St, KU, Butler, N Mexico
4 seeds-- Lville, Gtown, Kstate, Pitt
5 seeds-- Ohio St, OK St, Marq, Wiscy
6 seeds-- SD St, Oregon, Cincy, N Dame

No clue why Lunardi thinks Creighton should be a 6 seed (should be an 8).  8 seed UNLV has a better body of work.

Very inconsistent, but the team has shown it can win, and even win big, without him.  He still continues to exhibit terrible shot selection.  If he's not on fire, he's more often than not a detriment to the team.  Wasted offensive possessions.  While he's great at getting into the lane, he never looks to kick it out to an open shooter.  Could be a huge asset to the offense in that regard, but he just won't do it.  Typically ends up with him going up not with the intention of actually scoring, but drawing some cheap ass foul that he doesn't get the call for anymore because everyone knows that's what he's doing.  His minutes and scoring are substantially down the last few weeks.

The order of each group of teams per seed is not sorted by rank. At that point it becomes pretty random, because then you have the factors of where teams play, where other teams in their conference play, etc. that go into setting the actual bracket. I like the charts because they give you a good picture and comparison tool, but its not an exact science because of the other factors involved. That's why I pretty much only look at these charts and really don't care to look at mock brackets. I look at the bracket matrix site, but only because it gives you seed snapshots, and this far removed from selection Sunday I'm really only watching seed possibilities myself.

That being said, I wouldn't mind playing any of those three teams in the second round. All three teams like to keep the possessions down and while being tough teams they don't have overwhelming front courts. All five of our losses have  been against teams that completely abused our front court. I wouldn't want a team with a dominant front court or a team with skilled ball handlers willing to push the pace.

1 seeds --- Indiana, Miami, Fla, Mich St
2 seeds --- Duke, Gonz, Mich, Cuse
3 seeds --- KU, Az, N Mexico, Lville
4 seeds --- Gtown, KState, Marquette, Butler
5 seeds --- OK St, Wisc, Oregon, Ohio St
6 seeds --- Pitt, N Dame, Colo St, NC State

IMO, If Kstate wants to get a 3 seed, we need 5 more wins. 
14-4 and make semis of P66, or 13-5 and make finals of P66

So...why is Marquette seeded in front of us?  1-4 record vs. 1-25 with a loss to a team ranked over 100 and a 2-5 road record compared to our 4-4 vs. 1-25, no losses to teams over 100 and a 5-2 road record.  Seems like it should be a slam dunk that we would be seeded higher than them.

Georgetown and Kstate have a better resume right not over Marq.   All 3 teams have 5 top 50 wins.   Gtown/Marq are 9-3, while Kstate is 10-3 in conf.   But Marq has 6 losses overall and only 2-5 in true road games

Even though i think Marq Butler and Ok St are behind KState/Gtown on my "S-curve" i think there is gap between the 2 mini groups. Us and GT are clearly the best 4s and are right there waiting to jump to the 3 line.

Butler originally was a host for the Midwest region so they weren't allowed to be in this spot. I guess now since they left the Horizon League they aren't a host anymore and they can be there. Seems like garbage to me. 5 seeds shouldn't have a chance to play in their hometown unless it's a Final Four.

I don't understand why these bracketologists don't send Arizona to San Jose. It's 40 miles longer than the Salt Lake City trip but they would get to play in a bigger Pac-12 market being in California. More importantly it would open pods that are closer to other teams.

For example:
Send Arizona to San Jose
This opens up Salt Lake City for New Mexico
This opens up Austin for a team like Oklahoma State or even us if Kansas City would happen to be taken

Sorry to rant, but the pod system was created to reward the top 4 seeded teams with a close location whenever possible. Sometimes it feels like they're only rewarding the top 2 seeds, and if just happens to work that the other teams got a close location then it's a bonus.

I agree.  The problem with this group has been that when they play like this it's never just one game, but rather two or three straight.  They tend to string together garbage games in streaks.

I really don't understand why people insist on putting any thought on who seeds 3-11 are. Every single year, since the pod era began, we have to re-learn that the NCAA moves teams up or down for pod and conference purposes. We have seen this first hand over and over but revert back to old habits.

For instance, I'd bet that either WSU, SLU, or Creightonend up in KC as a 6 or 7.

Im not sure how Virginia is in the field right now.   They have a rpi of 68 and a SOS of 144.
Their non con SOS was 307.  And they have 6 losses to teams with a rpi of 130 or higher
Only thing they have going for them is they have won 8 of last 11 in ACC games

So 15-3 guarantees a 3 seed. Add Big 12 tourney title and that equals a 2.  And a loss to Baylor or OSU plus a Phillips loss means a 4? Are we all agreed those are the scenarios?

Losing in the conference final normally doesn't hurt you. If we lost to a team like OSU in the semis I don't think we would drop much from where we were projected before it happened.

We're getting to the point where besides looking at us, there are another 10-12 teams we can probably really follow. Primarily what we do matters (finishing at least 2-1 reg season) but what the others do is significant.

Teams to watch:
Michigan
New Mexico
Georgetown
Louisville
Arizona
Marquette
Syracuse
Okla State
Memphis
UNLV

I am rooting for ISU to get another shot at KU in the big 12 semis and we enter the NCAAs on a 10 game winning streak.  I would hope that would equal a 3 seed at least but FLA would still be our only marquee win.

Maybe because every other team that is up for a #1 seed is losing games they shouldn't as well.  Not to mention we all know the committee loves the RPI, despite it being horribly flawed, and KU has a good record against top 50 RPI teams compared to other potential #1 seeds.

Just that all the teams in KC would be a bus ride away save Northeastern and SDSU(maybe, I bet they would bus in too).  I was not alive and/or old enough to remember but I have heard people talk about how in the 80s they started to move teams around to balance the bracket. 

Also, if you are a #1 seed in KU you are guaranteed a game against one of the two schools with the biggest redass for you and you are playing them right down the street from their campus.

also, lol.at his kc group of teams-is it the 1970s?

what does that mean?
Just that all the teams in KC would be a bus ride away save Northeastern and SDSU(maybe, I bet they would bus in too).  I was not alive and/or old enough to remember but I have heard people talk about how in the 80s they started to move teams around to balance the bracket. 

Also, if you are a #1 seed in KU you are guaranteed a game against one of the two schools with the biggest redass for you and you are playing them right down the street from their campus.

You seem old. Not like, for the earth, but, for this message board, perhaps.

KU is a 1 seed because in the non con they won at Ohio st, beat SLU Colo and temple at home.   Then swept Kstate and won at OKST and won at Isu.    Those are pretty good wins as much as i hate the beakers.   Their non con SOS is 16 and they only lost once.  They are 12-3 and tied for 1st in a decent B12 conf.  4 losses with a top 15 SOS overall.

I had Ku as #5 on the S-curve before Duke's loss to Virg.   If Ku wins out they will be a 1 seed entering conf tourneys.

As of 3/3 ..... here are my projections

  1 seeds     2 seeds    3 seeds    4 seeds
___________________________________
Indiana       Gtown       Florida      Marq
Gonz           Miami       N Mex       OK St
KU              Mich          Kstate      Ohio st
Duke           Lville         Mich St     Ariz

If there was an S curve, I'd have us 11th overall right now. I think with 3 more wins it will be extremely hard to bump us down to a 4 seed.
A 2 seed is still a possibility.  I believe it would take 17 conf wins and even then no guarentee at a 2.

Marq is the strongest of the 4 seeds no doubt.  They are 12-4 in the B East and have a top 15 RPI and SOS.   But they do have 2 more losses than us right now.   Of the 4's right now, they are the only one that is close to being a 3 seed.

5 seeds = Cuse, UNLV, Wiscy, St Louis
6 seeds= Pitt, Ucla, Notre Dame, Memphis
7 seeds= Butler, Oregon, N Carolina, VCU
8 seeds = Col st, Cal, NC St, Illinois

Minnesota would crush Butler imo.  They've got tall, athletic guards who can really pressure the opposition up top (which Butler struggles with) and they kill it on the glass.  Mbakwe is a man-beast.  Tubby got them back on track.  They are a load when they don't have their heads up their asses.  Pomeroy loves them.  Not so hot for K-State either, as Tubby has plenty of experience defending oscar's motion.

Meh. We're gonna be all :ohno: no matter who we meet in the second round. And a 2 seed versus a 3 just doesn't matter that much. I just don't want to fall back to a 4.

We can lock down a 3 with a win over the Pokes. If not, we've got some work to do in the B12T. To reach a 2, I'd say we probably need 4 more wins and a little help from the teams currently slotted above us.

i wish so hard they would put 8-mizzou with 1-ku in sprint center. i would have tickets to that game and it would be so much fun.

Yeah that is never going to happen.

Why do you think it's unlikely? I thought the committee liked "stories" or whatever. I have really LBBIQ. TIA

Wouldn't happen because the NCAA likes to protect their top seeds by not putting teams in the same pod that are that close to the host site.

We probably need one more Top 50 (or better) win to lock up the 3 seed. Either win at Stillwater or our 2nd game in the Big 12 (likely against OU or OSU) and we should be good. Get two of those and maybe sneak into a 2, but probably need to win 3 in KC for a 2.

Speaking of Big 12, of the bottom 4 the team I least want to play is Texas. I know we just kicked them at their place and they were playing Baylor, but Kabongo seems to be getting back integrated and they had a lot of guys play really well last night. If they get some sense of urgency and Kabongo plays under control they can give a top 4 seed fits.

The other teams around/ahead of K-State could do the cats some big favors by continuing to drop games.  Michigan in particular, while they beat the cats they have regressed and I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop their last two at Purdue and home against Indiana.  They don't play team ball on offense anymore.  Burke had to be superman for them to win three of their last four.  If he'd have just had an average night (by his standards) in any of those games they would have lost.  It's not sustainable.  The game he did have an average night (18 points/6 assists) they lost to winless/worst team in the Big Ten, Penn State.

You're right about the second game...but if we're the 2 seed, our first game would be against the 7/10 winner - and by beating Baylor last night, it looks like Texas is going to end up with the 7 seed (unless WVU somehow beats OU or ISU...).

This has nothing to do with upsets or cinderella stories.  The NCAA can get those regardless of where they place teams.  The best you will likely see is a 15 or 16 seed playing close to home, but then it is not as big of a deal because the chances of them winning are so slim.  Putting a potential KU and Missouri matchup in the Kansas City pod undermines the reward of being a high seed.  The higher seeded team does not have the 'home court' advantage like they normally would.

Actively? Not any more so than the selection committee looks at any match-ups of the tournament.  I do think they would be excited for the buzz a match-up like that would generate.

Lunardi is so overrated.   He has Mizzou at 30 and OU at 40.      Both teams are 11-6 in conf and B12 is better.    OU has a better RPI and SOS.   They both have a big win (KU and Fla).   Mizzou is 2-7 on road and 5-8 away from home court.  Their 2 road wins are teams above 200 rpi.    OU is 4-6 on road and 8-7 away from home.   FYI, I would have both as 9 seeds right now.  If i ranked them i would have OU at 33 Mizz 35



i think the Cats are still ahead of Ohio St, but it is close.   Cats need 2 more wins and our chances at the 3 seed are really good IMO.

Ohio State jumped us.

Thanks, couldn't figure it out.

If we win tommorrow, we will be on the 3 seed line.   if we lose then we likely drop back to a 4 for the time being (and then we will have to go play in the P66 finals and get back on the 3 seed line.)   Let's win tommorrow and then the serious 2 seed talk can start. 


Of the top 4 seeds that Lunardi came out with today, i still believe we should be a 3 and tOSU should be a 4.   I dont feel UNLV is 4 seed stuff yet.   I would either have OK St or the AZ as the last 4 seed with the other being the strongest 5.

Minn and the Breads are both 8-9 in conf.    If u cant be .500 in conf play, then you dont deserve to be a top 8 seed.    Uconn went 9-10 the B East (reg season/tourney)last season and they got a 9 seed because their SOS and good wins were of quality.   It is gonna be a hard game (at Ohio St) for the Breads to get back to .500 in conf.   Meening that ILL is likely gonna be a 10 seed or 11 entering Big 10 tourney

Yep that is what i thought before the game in Stillwater...... that if we lost we would need 2 wins and to get to the P66 finals .   We need teams like Ohio St, Marquette and maybe even N Mexico to struggle in their conf tourneys.  That would help anyway.

Alright.  Almost exactly 7 days away until Selection Sunday.   Here is Posse's latest projections =

     1  seed   ---   2  seed   ---   3  seed   ---   4  seed
______________________________________________
1. Duke           5. Gtown          9. Mich         13. Marq
2. Ind              6. KU             10. N Mex       14. KState
3. Gonz           7. Miami          11. Flor          15. Arizona
4. Lville           8. Mich St        12. Ohio St     16. OK St


We need to cheer against those 3 seeds and Marquette in the upcoming conf tourneys.   As long as we beat Texas, i feel completely safe we dont fall below a 4 seed. 

  5  seeds  --  6  seeds  --  7  seeds  --  8  seeds 
________________________________________
Syracuse         UNLV         Col St          Cal
St Louis         Butler         VCU             NC State
Pitt                UCLA          N Carolina    Creighton     
Wiscy             N Dame      Memphis      SD State 


I have OU and Iowa St both as 10 seeds. Horrible loss by OU yday.   Still think Baylor needs a win over OK St to sneak in.
Mr Bread, a bunch of 9-10 seed teams lost this week, so I still have your Illinois squad as a 9 seed.  Those strong wins vs Gonz Ind and Mich St  will get you in the dance.

I dont think KU is a 1 seed right now.   They have tons of top 50 wins.   Lville's worst loss is to rpi 51 Nova.    Lville's other 4 losses are to RPI top 50 teams by a combined 12 points.    They play in better conference, they went 14-4 just like KU.   Lville also has a top 10 SOS

Gtown also went 14-4 and had 5 total losses.  They are hotter than almost any team around winning 13 of 14 including sweeping Syracuse, beating Lville and Marquette.     I just feel these 2 teams are slightly ahead of KU in the pecking order right now.    I feel KU likely needs to win the P66 to be a 1 seed

It is possible.  In 2009, Dayton had two #1 seeds in it's pod, so I see no reason why there couldn't be a pod with two number 2 seeds.

The teams in each seed are not necessarily in order, its just a comparison tool.

Correct.  Marquette and us are the strongest of the 4 seeds.     Wiscy should not be a 4 seed.   Once again Joey B and Espn are out to lunch (3 days ago they had Wisc as a 6 seed, they beat a 2-15 Penn St by 3 and they move to a 4.  Uhh what?)

Kstate and Marq both have strong 14-4 conf records and MU did it in a tougher conf.   MU has more top 50 wins and a better SOS, but they do have 1 more overall loss (and that loss was a bad loss to a team ranked 161). KSU also has the edge with a 7-3 road record compared to MU's 5-6 mark.  Both of us are very close to being 3 seeds if one of these current 3 seeds doenst perform well in the conf tourneys

The committee will take notice that we finished 1 game ahead of OK St, especially considering we played the exact same schedule.  Both teams have basicly the same amount of top 50 wins (both teams have a Big win).   We both loss to the Zags, but while we lost to Michigan, they lost to lowly V Tech

We could get a 3 seed if we made the P66 finals.  Ok St has to win the thing to be considered a 3 IMO.

Post by: Powercat Posse on March 11, 2013, 04:21:12 PM
Our chances of being in the Sprint Center are really good.   One of the reasons why is the teams that are current 1-3 seeds have other pods that are closer to their school's location

Philly pod = Duke (1 seed) and Gtown (2)
Dayton pod = Ind (1) and Ohio St (3)
Lexington pod =  Lville (1) and Miami (2)
Aub Hills pod = Mich St (2) and Mich (3)
Salt Lake City pod = N Mexico (3)
Austin pod = Florida (3)
KC pod = Ku (2)
The other high seed is Gonzaga (1) and they will be either in San Jose or salt Lake.  Both pods are almost the exact same distance away

So then the 4 seeds should be --
KC pod = Kstate (4)
Austin pod = OK St (4)
Then the  remaining 2 pods will be in the west (san jose/Salt lake).  Arizona (4) would get one and Marq (4) the other


There is that chance that if OK St would jump up to a 3 that they could get KC over us.   If both are 4 seeds, i really believe we will get KC and they will get Austin.

Also, Lunardi has had NMexico going to Austin for weeks.   They are actually closer to Salt Lake and i believe they will end up there.  Which would make since because then Fla and Ok St could be in Austin.

Would rather be a 3 seed. 2 seeds lose a lot more to 7/10 seeds than 1 seeds lose to 8/9.

In fact, the 10 seed has an amazing record vs 2 seeds.

Since 1997, the 2 seeds have advanced to the sweet 16 only 57.8% of the time (37 out of 64).
10 seed vs 2 seeds ..... 10 seed actually has a 14-13 record
7 seed vs 2 seeds...... 7 seed has a 9-24 record
4 #2 seeds lost to a 15 seed

Only 8 #1 seeds lost to 8/9 seeds (56 of the 64 won)


Don't you think the committee has to send OSU to Austin to sell some tickets?  I know KC is closer but there are no Texas teams to put in Austin and OSU has a big fan base close by in Dallas.

yes i would think so.  Is there a shot that a 3 seed OK St team goes to Austin?  yes.   At the same time, even if OK St falls to a 5 seed I can see them being in Austin.   This would meen some other team (like Syracuse, Pitt, Wiscy perhaps) would be the 4 seed in Austin

Tough to handicap our odds. Here is what i can tell you.   I have Michigan, N Mexico, Florida and Ohio St as 3 seeds.
We have to make the P66 finals to be in consideration.  If we win it, then i think our odds are pretty good.  If we lost in the finals, it really could be a coin flip.

N Mexico will be the 1 seed in MW tourney.  4/5 seeds will be SDSU/Boise.  Them losing in semis would be nice
Ohio St is 2 seed.   They play Purd/Neb winner, then could meet 3 seed Mich St in Semis
Mich is 5 seed.  They play 12 seed team then would play 4 seed Wisc.  Them losing there would not be a bad thing
Florida is the clear cut best team in the SEC.   4 seed Bama and 5 seed Tenn are on the same side as UF.
Marquette i have as a 4 seed in the NCAA.   They are the 3 seed in the B East tourney and could play 6 seed ND in the quarters.

Put however much stock you want into Palm's brackets, I put very little, but in his latest he does not have KSU playing in a KC pod.  He has them as a four seed in the midwest region, playing their first two rounds in San Jose.

San Jose is the stepchild of the pod sites. According to Palm the two highest seeds in San Jose are (4) K-State and (4) St. Louis. Pretty sure you could just swap us with Ohio State

We will have two games in the Big 12 tourney that are basically home court against teams from Texas and possibly Oklahoma.  All of which we beat at home this season.  If we can't win those then how will the home court help us in the NCAA tourney against likely better teams (not better than us, better than OSU\Baylor).

Palm's bracket projections have been  a little off for the past month when I have looked at them.

He has Ok st and Creighton both as 6 seeds. He loses credibility with me right there. 

If Kstate gets a 4 seed, I really don't believe another 4 seed will steal our KC pod. If there was not a pod in Austin, then OKSt would have had a better shot to steal it.  But us in KC and them in Austin just makes since.

If anything the at large bids will get smaller.  If some team who is not in right now wins their conf tourney.  I would say that chance is small but it definatly could happen.   

I think the 3 weakest teams that i have in right now are UK, Lasalle and Tenn.    Baylor with a win could take out of those teams
Lunardi has Virginia as "Last 4 in".   No way they should be in.   7 of 10 losses to teams RPI 100+.   Their SOS (132) and non con SOS (304)

as a 4 and Syracuse as a 5 (He has the opposite)

*3 seed Florida = won big today.  Will face Tenn/Bama winner tommorrow

Oh no i dont think a 3 seed is impossible for us to get.  I said a few days ago that if we make the finals our chances of getting a 3 were a coin flip.  Only reason i said that is because if all the teams just barely above us (the teams i had at 3 seeds) all make or win the finals then that makes it harder for us to get a 3

If we win tonight, i think our chances of getting the 3 are better than of us staying at a 4.

Now, Us getting a 2 seed if we win today and tommorrow.......As of right now, i dont think we would jump up to a 2 seed.   Now In 30 hours or so I may feel different as i see what happens with other conferences

I should recant what i said about Michigan not dropping to a 4 seed.    They most definately could.   They have lost 6 of thier last 12 and their non con SOS was not very strong.

they would be a terrifying 4 seed

Their defense is crap and their offense has largely become a one-man show of late.  They aren't what they were.

They have one of the country's best offenses led by one of the best guards.  We don't exactly do well defending good guards.  I would not want to play them again.

I have Ohio St and Syracuse as the best 4 seeds.     Either one of these 2 win tommorrow and Michigan most likely drops to a 4
I also think if Flor would lose in the SEC semis they could end up on the 4 seed line too. 


Florida is in the SEC semis vs Bama.   
N mexico is in the MWC finals vs UNLV
Ohio St plays Mich St in Big 10 semis

I pretty much agree with you and I think a 5 is very slim.

But with a blow out loss you never know what the committee is thinking, and if many members use the ridiculous "eye test" criteria, haven't watched much K-State basketball, and this is one of the only games they've seen us play, you never know.

Unless the committee just looks down at the Big 12 as a whole,  I dont think there is any way we get a 5 seed no matter what happens tonight
So I will say 99.5% that we are a top 4 seed and playing in Sprint Center

Right now IMO, we are a 3 seed.   Losing tonight is not going to hurt us.   What will hurt us is if Syracuse and Ohio St keep winning in these tourneys and put their claim in for 3 seeds.   Also N mexico and Fla winning their conf tourney



With a win, could we get a 2 seed?   Yes.  Do i think we will be a gaurenteed 2 seed with a win? No.

Duke, Gtown, Miami and Mich St are  my current 2 seeds.   
Duke is not falling to a 3
Gtown chances of staying a 2 are probably better than them falling to  3
If Miami loses in the ACC semis to NC St, then they most definately could fall to a 3 seed
Mich St can fall to a 3 seed if they lost to Ohio St (but that would meen Osu would be in finals)


So cheer against =
Syracuse
Ohio St
N Mexico
Miami 
Florida

So I'm looking at Lunardi's latest projections, along with the actual stats of the current 3 and 4 seeds, and we've either got to win tonight or get a lot of help from other teams to snag a 3 seed.

Of those 8 teams, our RPI is second to last, our SOS is last, our wins against top 25 is tied for last, our wins against top 50 is tied for second to last...

At the very least, Florida, Syracuse, New Mexico, Michigan State, and probably even Marquette all have better resumes. Add Wisconsin to the list if they beat Indiana, which they currently are.

In short, we need a win today for a 3. That rough ridin' blows. Our SOS/RPI is "killing" us.

As of right now i think the last 1 seed is between Ku and Duke.    I said duke was my best 2 seed in above thread but i almost think i should have them still as the last 1 seed and KU as best 2.    If KU wins tonight, it is gonna be a tough call who gets the 1.  Almost think they should put both of them together in same region (a 1-2 in the South lets say) 

Before duke's loss to Maryland, Lunardi had Duke as overall #1 seed.    Dont always agree with him but i thought the same.

They were i believe 18-0 with Ryan Kelly before that loss to Maryland. 

Indiana despite losing to Wiscy is still a 1 seed IMO.

Sorry guys, 3 seed not looking good.  NM wins MWC tourney. Ohio St beat Sparty. Cuse are up 13 at half

If Cuse hangs on and beats Lville, then i think we are more likely a 4 right now

Crunch all the numbers early tommorrow,  but a Cuse win and IMO
Last two 3 seeds=  Cuse and Mich St
Best two 4 seeds = Kstate and Mich

Fla winning tommorrow just locks up their 3.   They have a shot at a 2 if they beat Ole Miss
N Mexico has locked up a 3 seed as well.

2 seeds: Duke, Miami, G'town, Michigan?
3 seeds: Michigan State, Marquette, Ohio State, Florida?

Could we sneak ahead of any of those 3 seeds? Florida could lose tomorrow. Ohio State could lose tomorrow but could get replaced with Wisky.

It's about matchups. And we match up horribly with Gonzaga. Confirmed.

We wouldn't beat any of the #1s, so this is all academic, but give me a shot against Louisville over a repeat ass-raping by Zaga.

Ideally I'd wanna move up to a 3 and see Miami as the 2. That probably won't happen, so I guess I'd wanna see Gonzaga as the 1 in our bracket.

We're a completely different team and they haven't been tested in conference play like they would be against us. Any idea where that hypothetical game would be?

OK guys,  Its after 3 o clock.  I am tired but i am gonna try to give us some hope.   Thank you Lville for coming back against the Cuse

As of right now,  I am still hopeful we have that last 3 seed spot. 

I think Mich St and Kstate are the last two 3 seeds.   I think Syracuse and Michigan are the top two 4 seeds

________________________________________________________________________________________

Its gonna be close whether we get the 3 or the 4.
New Mexico ---- won MWC,  will be at least a 3 seed
Florida -----  I think they are a 3 seed win or lose tommorow.   Have a shot at the last 2 seed
Ohio St ----  I think they are a 3 seed win or lose tommorrow.  Have a shot at the last 2 seed


Lville, Gonz, Indiana and KU are my likely #1 seeds
Duke, Miami, and GTown are 3 of the 4  #2 seeds

Forget Lundardi. 

I had Cuse as a 4 seed before today....... and my hope for KState >>> Cuse

1) a 14-4 co Big 12 champ Ksu team and a 11-7 5th place BEast Cuse team both lost in conf finals
2) That our 9-3 last 12 compared to their 6-6 last 12..... will help when realizing they have a much better SOS
3)  Both teams 6 top 50 wins FWIW

We're safe as a 4; maybe sneak into a 3. I remember we were all pretty surprised by the 2 seed in '10, but that team had a much tougher SOS and more quality wins (11-6 vs Top 50 in 10, 6-7 this year).

there is little chance we're a 3.  Mich and tOSU won't fall to a 4, however if one (or both) did, Marquette or Syracuse are  more deserving (tougher league, better rpi, sos).  If Whisky wins, they'll have to do something with them and that might mean moving them up to the 4 line.  Hopefully its zona that falls.

Looking at New Mexico's resume, how the eff are they ranked 2nd in the RPI? Their best RPI win is against Colorado State. Their top 8 RPI wins are all against MWC teams. Their losses include a home loss to South Dakota State and a road loss to Air Force. I just don't see it.

Title: Re: Bracketology 1/8/13
Post by: Powercat Posse on March 17, 2013, 11:53:17 AM
So here is what i think =

--- 1 seeds ---- 2 seeds ---- 3 seeds ---- 4 seeds ---
1.  Lville         5. Duke        9. N Mex     13. Cuse
2.  Gonz         6. Gtown      10. Fla        14. Mich
3.  Ind           7. Miami       11. Mich St   15. Wisc
4.  KU            8. Ohio St     12. KState    16. Marq

Conf record and place =  Kstate 14-4 (T-1) Cuse 11-7 (5th) Mich 12-6 (5th). Ksu/Cuse made conf finals. Mich lost in qtrs.
SOS =  KState 56,  Cuse 5, Mich 68
Top 50 record = KState 6-7,  Cuse 6-8, Mich 8-6
Last 12 games = KState 9-3, Cuse 6-6, Mich 6-6
Road/Nuetral gms = KState 11-6, Cuse 9-7, Mich 9-6


Last 2 seed was tough.   I gave it to Ohio St.   They went 13-5, tied for 2nd and at least made the finals in the toughest conf.
Duke got 2nd in ACC and lost in ACC quarters.   So had to go with KU as the final 1 seed

____________________________________________________________________________________________________


I tried to just seed the top 4 seeds in regions and here is what i came up with.

--- WEST ---- SOUTH ---- MWest ---- EAST ----
1. Gonz        1. KU          1. Ind        1. Lvile
2. Ohio St    2. Duke       2. Gtown    2. Miami
3. KState     3. N Mex      3. Flor       3. Mich St
4. Marq        4. Mich        4. Cuse     4. Wisc

I will put out my top 12 seeds out later today.   After these games at noon, might have a better idea who is on the 6 seed line (or 5 perhaps) and see who potential opponents for us could be

Just looked at all of Lunardi's bracket. Everything about it is the best possible situation. Everything. I want Ohio State as the 2 seed to our 3 so hard. And can you imagine if KU gets to play Duke? KU fans would talk about it for years if they won.

He has Wisconsin as the 5 in our region.

If we're a 3 and Wisky a 5, I would be quite happy to run into them

Yeah, the only way we play them is in the Elite 8. I'd be happy to play pretty much anyone in the E8  :dunno:

Bumped to a #3 against SDSU

According to massey ratings, we would have a 60% chance of beating Wichita St and a 61% chance of beating UCLA.  Interesting.

I think I really underestimated the impact of having no bad losses. I don't think we've DONE anything to deserve a three seed, it must be what we DIDN'T do, which is have a bad loss. I would seriously forget all about the KU game yesterday if we end up as a 3 seed with favorable matchups.

Well, i didnt do that well.   Of these 48 teams, All 48 made it in.  So that was good
I got 27 of the 48 with the exact seed
42 out of 48 i was within 1 seeding spot

To compare, Joey Brackets had those 48 teams in his bracket as well, so 48 for 48. He also got 27 of those 48 with correct seed.   But he only got 40 of 48 right within 1 seed spot

So even though i didnt do as well as i thought i might,  i did better than Lunardi.

They went 14-4 (like us) in conf play, but i guess the committee liked their 13th SOS to our 56th SOS and thought 14-4 in BEast was more impressive

I thought before the conf tourneys that Marq was barely ahead of us, but when we made B12 finals and they lost in BEast qtrs, we would move above them.  Guess not

PP, I  am  impressed  you  got  all of  the  last 4  in.   Thanks  for all  you did  in this  thread.

My pleasure.   I really like to break down all the stuff that goes into bracket projecting.      Lots of people who follow men's CBB are not really that impressed with the 10 man committee who did the selecting

The top 4 seeds were fine.   I had us as the last 3 seed and we got a 4.   I had SLU as the best 5 and they got a 4

Oregon is the one that everyone is talking about and should be.    I have never seen a team from a power conference go 26-8  and go 15-6 vs conf teams and get a 12 seed.   They should have been a 7 or 8 seed.   

Another team is VCU, who a lot of people are loving and picking to be a sleeper team for the Final4.    I dont know how they got a 5 seed.
In the non-con,  they lost to Duke and Mizzou then beat Memphis at a tourney.  Then lost to Wich St at home.    In the A-10,  they went 1-4 vs A10 tourney teams (Lost to SLU 2, Temple, LaSalle, and beat Butler)

other ones i shake my head out--
1) Pitt who went 24-8 and 12-6 in BEast.   7 of their 8 losses to top 50 teams.   And they got and 8?
2) SD State getting a 7 seed and being ahead of conf mate Colo St (who got an 8).    Colo St went 11-5 to SDSU 9-7.  And Top 100 record CSU went 11-7 to SDSU 8-10.   SDSU beat Ucla is the one thing they had over CSU
3) Cal getting a 12.   Went 12-6 in the Pac 12.     Their Last 12 they went 9-3 and 5 of those wins were against tourney teams

I'm the most butthurt about New Mexico over us.  They beat nobody outside the mtn west.  And they have some bad losses.

I would rather be on our side of the bracket than theirs, though. I think Ohio State is better than Gonzaga.

You people trashing Gonzaga are out of your minds. They would rape us again if given the chance.

We could beat Ohio State, and I might actually expect us to.

I would expect us to get the crap kicked out of us by either of those teams. Gonzaga is a good team. So is Ohio State. I just think OSU is a little bit better.
