    I took a look at the 10 teams that would be on the bubble and I have one team that I am positive will be in. That is Oklahoma State.

    I have some 3 teams that if I had to bet they will be in, Temple, LSU, and Purdue

    I have 6 teams I wouldn't be shocked to see any one of them in or out, Boise, Colorado State, Indiana, UCLA, Ole Miss and BYU

    I don't have Murray or Rhode Island in, nor do I have Miami or Old Dominion

    As much as I like the MW I think one of the 2 gets left out and I think it's Colorado State. If Uconn were to win today there will be all sorts of nervous teams wondering who they just knocked into the NIT.

    Indiana 56th in the RPI, 20-13, 9-9 in the Big Ten, lost to Eastern Washington, Georgetown, Purdue, Northwestern, Purdue again, and Iowa.

    Ugly.

    They're a bubble team that I think should be left out.

    UConn is losing, opening up a spot for someone.

    Chris Obekpa suspended for two weeks. SJU might actually not make the tourney now. This has gotta be the end for Lavin. To announce this 2 hours before selection is a joke. Fire Lavin....he's really terrible.

    Joe Lunardi on twitter: "Ultimately, I think it's three teams for two spots (Ole Miss, Boise St. and Indiana). Take your pick..."

    Looks like Kentucky will roll through the Midwest. Don't really see anyone there that can knock them off. I am really hoping that Wichita and Kansas both win so they can finally play

    Providence and those guards can definitely move on to the sweet 16 and beat oklahama in the round of 32.

    Never wanna be the person who picks straight chalk into the FF but man, I don't think anyone beats Kentucky or Duke in their brackets. The West is going to come down to Wisconsin or Arizona. And the East is a shitshow, especially the top half of that bracket.

    LSU can beat any of those teams, but do you really wanna put your trust in those guards? Northern Iowa is trash IMO and Louisville isn't as good as they primarily are.

    the madness is here and the games didn't even start yet!!!!

    How the hell does Duke get a 1 seed when they had a lackluster regular season and then they shit the bed in the ACC semifinals. I guess they got that just because they are Duke.

    The way they dont follow geography gets me so annoyed. I guess its a byproduct of me being super OCD.

    Last night When Gottlieb said Arizona had a virtual home game in Portland I just assumed I sucked at geography. Well I looked it up and He's very wrong. Lmao.

    My final Four:

    Kentucky v Wisconsin
    Duke v Michigan st
    Kentucky over duke in the finals

    I'm done switching it! Decision is final

    Since the conf expanded they don't play equal scheds, UVa had weaker sched w/in ACC and duke beat them in Charlottesville. duke did get a creampuff road to the elite 8. it would take a bigger choke than usual to not at least make the elite 8.

    I am pretty happy w/ Carolina's bracket. If they play like they did in the ACC Tourney they can beat Wisconsin in the sweet 16 and make a FF run. of course if the bad version shows up they can lose to anyone but I think(hope( they finally turned a corner.
