Bracketology 2024

A lot of (non-ISU) bubble developments today.

Dayton lost, that re-opens a bid steal from A-10. UD's seed line continues to drop, but it's probably safe.

Among the at-large "Toast" file (not exhaustive, but a few samples):
  • Wake
  • Iowa
  • K-State
  • Seton Hall might not have fallen completely, but I doubt it survives the cut line.
 
Why does Creighton factor into Omaha? They can't play there, which I assume you know, so does it have to do with some other site?
If Creighton was ahead of Marquette they would go to Indy and Marquette would go to Omaha
 
So what we can assume and what's still up for grabs.

East 1. Connecticut 2. UNC
South 1. Houston 2. Tennessee if they aren't 1 in the west.
MW 1. Purdue 2. ISU or Marquette
West 1,2, Arizona and Tennessee

Left Baylor out. If they beat us tonight they probably jump.our spot. So we need a win tonight.


Basically Tennessee in the south means us or Marquette end up west.

If Tennessee goes west we should get MW because of Houston sending Marquette south.

I'm in no way a bracketologist but that seems to be the logical approach. Let me know what I'm missing.

I think we could safely say that UCONN has the east locked up as the #1. Purdue I'd say is locked into the MW #1.

If Tennessee gets the last 1 seed over AZ, I would still slot Houston into the South b/c they would be ahead on seed line and get to choose the south.

Tennessee would end up in the west as the #1

I think if Marquette wins and Baylor wins, we would fall to the overall #9 seed and be a 3. If we beat Baylor, I think we'd be a lock to be a 2. I'd think Marquette would want to be in the MW as a #2 seed therefor sending us South as UNC (east) and AZ (west) would be other 2 seeds.
