My Hoop Bracket has Kansas winning it all since they have the easiest road, all that talent, and a real good coach.

I was really going Kentucky would be in that region.

Wake's kenpom rating + pretty record is the only hope I had for them getting in, tbh. but now after watching had much the committee valued Q1 wins, Wake didn't have a shot. they probably needed to get to the ACCT finals to get into the tournament. i'm cool with it. Year #2 of Forbes, no PG and still won 23 games. pretty good season.

A&M not getting in is puzzling. They have three Q1 wins this month(!) Made it to the finals of the SEC tournament. Rutgers getting in over them is an embarrassment.

That's the way seeding should work IMO. There's no reason to pretend Wisconsin is better than UCLA, especially with UCLA having a better record

That's the only way to do it.

The bottom of the PAC-12 was atrocious. It actually worked to UCLAs favor because the 2/3 lines are strong
 
I feel bad for anyone picking Gonzaga. You can pick them to make it far, just not to win it all.

Having said that, watch them win the National title just to mess with me.
 
And Jay Bilas picks Gonzaga.

I disagree. If we have a human element, they should be able to evaluate teams. Otherwise there’s no point in having humans. Just plug the data into a formula and see what we get.

Well, that human element is subjective though.

My opinion of UCLA is my opinion. Not everyone is going to agree.

Michigan at 17-14 gets in.....LOL.

Brand recognition only, they should not be in. I've watched this team all year and they were the most inconsistent team I've seen.
 
Best 1st round games...

-OSU - Loyola
-SDSU - Creighton
-Marquette - UNC
-MSU - Davidson

My pick of the 1st round is Va Tech vs Texas. Super scrappy versus size and bloated talent.

That one should be a fun game

8 game losing streak in conference sealed their fate.

if that is the case, then losing to DePaul, Lafayette, UMass, Penn State, Minnesota, Maryland and Northwestern should have sealed Rutgers' fate.

This Rutgers team should cause the NCAA to take a long look at the new system and reevaluate things. 7 bad losses, a NET of 77, a kenpom of 74 and yet they're in the field.

Got a lot of credit for beating 4 Top 15 teams in a row plus Wisconsin. Not saying they should be in, but when kenpom and net have Wisconsin ranked in the 20s their credibility was shot
 
Where's @rmilia1 ?

Iowa getting a couple of picks to go FF.

Tempering expectations...

so you agree that losing streaks and bad losses don't matter?
 
NIT selections to be announced in about 20 minutes on ESPNU.

No, I don't agree that we get to make the choices. The NCAA makes the choices. We watch the games.

then you are contradicting yourself. If Rutgers' bad losses don't matter, then neither does Texas A&M's losing streak.
