Vandy should be out too. Any team that loses to Missouri, should be an automatic disqualified.

It's not like they lost to the last place team by 30.

Maybe bookcat can just make a thousand threads about Weber getting fired and he'll just leave instead

Wake Forest only up 2 right now in the 2nd half vs BC. A BC win would be big for the cats.

Wake Forest up 12 with under 4 to play.

Yeah, that didn't last long.

It was a good oppy for a terribly loss for a bubble team. I thought i'd entertain the thought to pass some time on this slow Tuesday.

This is confusing because some of us are cheering for bubble teams to get in ahead of us. So did a bubble team do good for themselves or no?

They didn't blow themselves up yet, but they haven't helped themselves out yet either. They did what they needed to do for the time being. Beating the shittiest team in the ACC.

Few days ago I said 10 teams for 6 spots.
1) Syracuse lost to Mia. They are now 2-11 on road/nuetral with an RPI of 75. Their 6 Top 50 wins likely won't be good enough.
2) Wake won a game they couldn't afford to lose last night. So they now stand at 19-12 with 10 ACC wins. RPI and SOS in top 35. Only 3 top 50 wins but no bad L's. They look pretty decent to be in.

That would mean ACC gets 9, not 10 which some thought. FYI, GA Tech who was just outside those 10 teams I talked about.... They are officially done now after a loss in the 11 vs 14 game last night

So, could be 5 spots left and 8 teams now competing for them.

Go Duke! Go Virginia Tech!!

ILL St is the only team of the 8 that is done. The bubble is weaker this year than last year, but the last 2-3 teams that got into "Play in games" were kinda weak last year.
1) Vandy got in with 13 losses, RPI 60, only 2 Top 50 wins
2) Michigan got in with a 4-12 record vs Top 100(17-0 vs 101+) and RPI of 58
3) Tulsa had 11 losses (12-6 in AAC, the SMU/Cincy league) RPI/SOS was 61/62

For comparison... last year St Mary's did not get in.
** 16' St Mary's -- 26-5, RPI 40 SOS 163. 6 top 100 wins, 2 top 50. Went 2-1 vs 11 seed Gonzaga.
** 17' ILL St -- 26-6, RPI 36 SOS 157. 2 top 100 wins, 1 top 50. Won 19 of 21 MVC games, but only 1 win vs top 150 non con team.

Rhode Island will be someone to watch in the A10 tourney. We need them to be outed early.

Powercat Posse · « **Reply #1717 on:** March 08, 2017, 05:29:06 PM »

5 spots, 8 teams....So these are teams we may be able to beat out even if we lost close to Baylor.....

1) Illinois St- mentioned their lack of good wins, SOS
2) USC - If they lost to UCLA in the qtrs, they would be 1-8 vs the 3 stud teams plus 4&5 seeded Utah/Cal. 9 of their 11 wins in P12 would be to teams "not in the top 100". And their 10th win would be over Stanford who will have an RPI in the 90s. Their top 100 non con wins -- beat tourney bound SMU, non tourney bound Texas A&M, Omaha. Could end with 24-9 record and not too many impressive wins

3) Xavier- If they lose to Butler in Qtrs, they will be 2-7 last 9 games. 2 wins vs RPI 228 DePaul and 0-7 vs the 1 thru 6 seeds in Big East. They lost their 2nd leading scorer for the year 10 games ago and have struggled. They would finish 10-10 vs B.E. teams, 3-10 vs top 6 seeds.
4) Illinois - a loss to Michigan and they would be 8-11 just like Us. And have 14 L's
* Their good/decent wins- Mich, Sparty, NWestern twice, Iowa twice, Vcu & BYU on nuetral court. We would have 3 fewer (WV, At Baylor/OSU/TCU, Colo St in Denver)
* But we have 2 wins vs top 3 in Conference, they have 0
* They would have 3 losses to 13/14 seed Penn St/Rutgers. Ou and Tech for Us
*They lost road/nuetral to 4 Top 8 seeded NCAA teams by 32,25,23,11. Our games away from home vs Top 8 seeded teams were 2,8 point wins. Losses by 19,5,2,1

I think Wake still has a good shot of getting in, but beating Tech would have gotten them in for sure, but they lost.

Good RPI, good SOS, no bad losses. 10-10 in #1 rated Conf.
However they are only 4-10 vs ACC top 100. Only 1 of those is a big time Win (Lville). 3 Top 100 wins in Non con, but none Top 50 and none of those 3 is an NCAA Tourney team.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #1721 on:** March 08, 2017, 09:57:02 PM »

Everyone needs to focus on Xavier to lose tonight vs DePaul if you care about march madness and your alumni.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #1722 on:** March 08, 2017, 09:59:12 PM »

Jerry Palm was on after the Pat League final and he said if Syracuse was selected they'd
-have the fewest road wins
-have the worst RPI
-have the worst non conference sos
Of any at large team in tournament history, they're done PP, you don't have to mention them again
