OleMiss) great schedule for them; and (3) MOST IMPORTANTLY the West #1, no matter how bad it is, gets a bye the first round of the SEC tourney in Nashville and then gets the winner of East4/West5 (East4 will almost certainly be Florida). That game would likely amount to a play-in game for SEC 5th slot in Big Dance.DavidATLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-74408690373020501102010-02-19T16:06:29.846-05:002010-02-19T16:06:29.846-05:00Thanks mom.Thanks mom.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-49562794777721461782010-02-19T16:06:06.182-05:002010-02-19T16:06:06.182-05:00Mississippi probably won't be in next week eve...Mississippi probably won't be in next week even if they beat Florida.

If they lose to ODU at home, they should be no higher than an eleven seed even if they get the MVC auto bid.<br /><br />Their best wins are Siena, who hasn't beaten anyone, and Wichita St, who were gracious enough to give Evansville their only conference victory. They have two pretty bad losses (against the worst Big East team on a neutral floor and at Bradley). The Panthers shouldn't be ahead of any Big East tournament team with that loss on their resume. <br /><br />I guess you have them a 7 seed because of their high RPI? In that case, I guess Cal will be an 8 or 9 next week even after losing to OSU? And Siena should be a 10 right?<br /><br />Too much love for UNI.BEISketbolhttp://www.beisketbol.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-25292596821318996442010-02-19T15:33:53.144-05:002010-02-19T15:33:53.144-05:00Lunardi still has St. Mary's in that new brack...Lunardi still has St. Mary's in that new bracket, too.

They should have no problem winning their last two MVC games (at Evansville, vs. Illinois State) and would then just need to make the MVC semis to feel pretty safe.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-63709202657936581042010-02-19T15:25:10.944-05:002010-02-19T15:25:10.944-05:00Georgetown the second 3 seed in bracketology relea...Georgetown the second 3 seed in bracketology released today...Agree they are sliding but don't overreactAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794336676174448935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-77059158145269437062010-02-19T15:19:27.930-05:002010-02-19T15:19:27.930-05:00A 5 seed is a worst case scenario for Georgetown a...A 5 seed is a worst case scenario for Georgetown at this point, but it's definitely not out of the question. They'll most likely be on the 4 line next week.<br /><br />ODU and Siena won't "lock up" bids with wins this weeekend, but each would improve their at-large chances significantly. Siena needs a victory more than ODU, because despite a gaudy record, the Saints still have no wins over tournament teams. Even with a win at Butler, they'll have to get to the MAAC final (which they should) to be in the at-large mix on Selection Sunday. <br /><br />ODU, meanwhile, has the luxury of already having wins over Georgetown, Charlotte, and William & Mary (twice). A win at Northern Iowa doesn't guarantee them a bid, but they'd have at least a 75% chance of getting one if they beat the Panthers. It would be nice if the Monarchs had at least win at least a share of the Colonial title on their resume, too. They're tied with Northeastern (who plays at George Mason in its season finale) with two games to play in conference.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-80943409123431904742010-02-19T15:08:28.122-05:002010-02-19T15:08:28.122-05:00What kind of seed could Butler get if they win out...What kind of seed could Butler get if they win out?
