Lunardi has them at a 9 seed in his latest bracketology. They are 16-13 with losses to Radford, VCU, Providence, OK state, and a historically bad blown lead against Baylor. They do have wins against Purdue and Kansas.

That being said, it seems like they shouldn't make the tourney at all, much less a 9 seed. I wouldn't be shocked to see Shaka gone after this year.

ETA: also beat UNC

Makes me sick to see a 16-13 team as a 9 seed

Now I am seeing reports that 15-14 Indiana is now a bubble team


15-14!!!

The system is broken. NET rankings severely underweight bad losses

Then some other shitty team will make it in. The bubble is trash this season. There aren't even many mid-majors with good records to get screwed over on selection Sunday.

They’ll somehow make the tourney only to lose to Tennessee in round 2.

with losses to Radford, Providence


Bad losses

quote:

VCU


36th NET team at home, not a bad loss

quote:

OK state,


90th NET on the road, not a great loss but not as bad as you might think

quote:

and a historically bad blown lead against Baylor.


Blown leads have nothing to do with tournament selection, losing to the 34th NET team on the road isn't a bad loss at all

They do have wins against Purdue and Kansas.


Texas also has wins against North Carolina, Kansas State, Baylor, and Iowa State.

Their record isn't very pretty, but they deserve to be in right now.

Yes. What other bubble team has the quality of wins that they do?

I could see them in as a bubble team but #9 is insane to me

I think they're more like a 10/11 myself, but there isn't a lot separating these bad bubble teams. You're choosing between a team with incredibly mediocre record like Texas or a team like St. John's that has 20 wins but has played a very soft schedule

OU is one of Lunardi's 10 seeds and they are 6-10 in Texas' conference and don't have the marquee wins Texas has.

LLLsu sucks and your basketball team is headed for major sanctions once a govt entity with subpoena power builds evidence for the NCAA.

If they beat TCU on Saturday, they're probably in.
