re: Bracketology - UPDATED 3/15

if kansas gets past wake in your bracket and plays unc or mizzou in the elite 8, that would be the greatest thing ever.

Quick: Someone please tell me why everyone across the country has Kansas State in the tournament.

bc they are gonna finish 10-6 and 4th place in the big 12 with like 22 wins before the big 12 tourney. add a win or 2 there, and they are solidly in.

btw, dont get your hopes up for ending that home win streak. it aint happening.

they are called projections for a reason. nebraska loses 2 or 3 of the next 5 and k state wins 3 or 4 of the next five. if nebraska can beat k state, they could easily be in. but it'll take some time bc today is not gonna help your case as nebraska should lose and k state should win.

I agree...don't sleep on K-State's trip to Ames. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see them lose that one. They are barely in this bracket. Hardly a lock.

I'd say no

What happens to UNC after they lost to Maryland? Is their 1 seed gone?

But, they better look out for Memphis, Marquette and Louisville.

Well, I see it was updated for 2/20, but first off, Xavier just lost.

They were ranked 16th before they lost to charlotte (I think) and thus they will drop a bit.

Dayton is currently ranked 25th in the country and aren't even in the dance at this time.

Now I do realize these are projections, but I see two and maybe even three teams from the A-10 making into the tournament.

Obviously I am hoping temple pulls it off. I have little faith in the team or the coach, but I hope I am wrong.

But I suspect Xavier will make it and either temple or dayton will make it unless both/all three totally collapse at the end of the season.

Wow, I log off for a few hours and the world of basketball goes to shite. Here's my take on the day:

UNC- Still a one seed despite a terrible loss to Maryland. If you look at the teams below the Tar Heels, none can be justified ahead of UNC for a top seed.

UCLA - I don't get these guys. As great as they were against Washington, they were just that assy against Wazzu. Had them as a 4, but you can expect that to drop, especially with teams below them winning.

Notre Dame/Georgetown - I don't care what Assface Gottlieb says, you ain't gettin' in. At least not this week, and not without some Big East tourney wins. Cincy also missed a golden chance to get into the thick of things, but the Big East right now is looking like 7 teams.

St. Mary's - Much like Kotter, welcome back. They will be back in my bracket after a huge win over Utah State, giving them another résumé-building win. Get wins in your last 2 tourney games, get Patty Mills back, and you're gold.

You're alive, Pisces. Too much to take in today? Btw, give me your e-mail...wanted to shoot you something.
