They say beating a team 3 times in a season is very difficult, imagine how hard it must be to do 4 times in a row!

NCAA Tournament Bubble Watch: BYU, Clemson, Texas new locks
Nine new teams are locks for the NCAA Tournament, including three from the Big 12.
theathletic.com
Also a "lock" now and off the should be in status. While I don't always agree with their perception of some teams on this segment and who should be in versus not. The locks are usually on point. Always reassuring that we can s*** the bed against against ASU and in the conference tourney and it won't matter. Games only impact seeding now. I feel like in previous years it always came down to our conference tourney performance. Nice not having to think about that. The Buffs and McKinley Wright will be playing in March Madness folks.

hoping we get to play ****bailer so we can avenge the last time we faced them in the tourney
This would be a great year to be a 6-seed.
The big conference 11s are basically at the level of Stanford. The 3s are vulnerable to 1st round upsets and are likely to be teams with major flaws (i.e., a Villanova with no inside presence to contest shots).
I think it may be an easier path to the Rd of 32 than playing one of the best mid-majors not named Gonzaga in an opener. And I don't think there's a lick of difference between playing a 3 instead of a 5 in the 2nd round this year if things go to chalk.
In terms of a path to the Elite 8, the 1s (especially the top 3) are much scarier than the 2s. So that also favors a 6-seed over a 4 or 5.

They're absolutely destroying Michigan tonight. Tracking to be a sure shot #1 seed with a good Big 10 tourney performance.
That's with Ayo out, who was tracking to pass Garza for B1G POY.
I might be picking Illinois to win it all this year.
Wouldn't be a bad pick, they are a damn good team. We talked about them in another thread, maybe the "other games" one I guess. I said dangerous, I think. Looks like even more than that. We going to have a bracket on here this year? I'd be down with that. I usually do a couple of others as well.

How many more losses does Minnesota get before people forget they beat Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio State? The team is .500 and has some terrible losses. The team hasn’t won in a month. Does this team make it?
Absolutely not.
Same for Rutgers. One good win. Just lost to the trash a$$ Huskers by 21! GTFO.
Palm is an idiot.
Winless on the road. Lost at Nebraska. They don't dance.
The Bracket Matrix guy tracks how everyone's final projections line up with the actual field. Of the 133 that he has tracked for rover 5 years (including purely statistical models like KPI, RPI, etc) Palm ranks 85th, and just above average in terms of how good his brackets are.
I remember past versions of this thread. We would be obsessively updating rpi scores, following games all across the country, cheering for whatever random team, reading conference tournament predictions for every third tier conference, rubbing rabbits feet, sacrificing chickens and squinting our eyes just right to find the golden pathway for the buffs to make the tournament. Those threads were so much fun and my brackets were better since I was up to date on the entire field. I’m happy this thread is kind of boring.
I feel your joy.
there was about a four year stretch where myself and other VT hoops fans (both of them) were hitting up and quoting a site something like nitbubblewatch.com (I can't find it anymore, but the url was close to that). I don't miss those days.

Yeah, I'm sure rover can pick better than palm.

Perused a few sites this evening just for fun. CU showing up on lines 5, 6, and 8 on the dozen or so places I checked.

You mean bracket matrix 2021?
Interesting, but less fun. I enjoyed reading some of the comments and "logic" of the prognosticators.
Btw, bracket matrix should get a web designer to anchor those column headers for readability.

Nevada hits a 3 with .8 seconds left. Csewe down 85-82.
I'm hearing popping sounds.
