It sucks honestly. Starting to feel like back when we'd beat Iowa in football then finish 3-9 while they ended their season somewhere warm.

Its still hard to reconcile the team that bent Iowa over hard with what its been lately.
Totally agree with Blum that 4-4 in this scenario gets us safely in. I just don't think we are capable of doing that. I also don't think we can win a road game to help our case.
"they'll definitely lose at Maryland tomorrow" Idk. Maryland is bad, probably worse than Penn St.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Nebraska gets them in Lincoln." I would, all things Fran fade considered.
I can't see us winning another game right now in general, let alone on the road. Our only road Big 12 win was against OSU and it took overtime plus one of, if not our best offensive effort of the season.
And Iowa lost against Penn State. Obviously it's not a sure thing, but that's not a game I see them winning on the road. Maryland already smoked Illinois at home.
I definitely hope you're right. Would love to see the Hawks have another epic February collapse
I would take this in a heartbeat
Two things. First we need to start looking at all the other P5 teams all these ‘experts’ have in or around the bubble. To me the P5 teams on the bubble have absolutely no case of getting in over us. The bubble is so soft. The wins in non con for us are gonna matter if…
…we can actually win 3/4 games. As I said on another post looking at Kansas state and their losses. Oof. I don’t see a win in Hilton for us. Hope I’m wrong. And if we lose I think it’s over for any tourney talk.

Caveat: That bracket was prior to WVU game, so I imagine is less favorable for seeding and sites.
But yes, I would take that draw in a microsecond -- Milwaukee subregion as a 5, Midwest Region (not that I anticipate being able to muddle thru 2 rounds to second weekend, but one never knows).
Do they no longer take in to any account when you were good or how you finished? If that is relevant our wins are likely discounted . Its almost like we lost our superstar mid season. I wouldn't want to put this team the way they are playing in any matchup. If they manage to really ignore that then?? Still can't lose out.
They do not... beginning of the season weighted the same as end.
Correct.
For a few years, there was a "Last 10" element, later extended to "Last 12" ... can't recall how long it was used or specifically when it was dropped ... maybe almost 20 years by now. I'm also not sure how much of a factor it played in the overall selection process.
The basic concept of having a L10/12 category, was to have teams in the field that were "playing their best basketball" down the stretch (compared to teams "limping into the tournament," so to speak).
Trouble is, you can't automatically quantify it simply thru W-L, since it doesn't account for strength of opponent during those games. Almost like it was "eye test with a winning percentage attached to it."
You can make a case for or against our seed by going off Bracket Matrix...this guy was the #6 bracketologist last year and he still has us on the 6 line after last nights game...
They have to fill the bracket somehow so we can also start looking at teams in the 7-12 seeded range from Lunardi/Palm etc and hope they lose as much as possible.
Seton Hall
Boise State
Wyoming
San Diego State
BYU
North Carolina
Virginia
Notre Dame
Oregon
St. Mary's
Wake Forest
TCU
Florida
Miami
Oklahoma
Indiana
Colorado State
Iowa
San Francisco
Those are teams I want losing as much as possible right now.
The fact Lundari has a team like Miami as an 11 seed with a NET of 71 and only 2 Quad 1 wins tells me we might be in better shape than we think...just win a couple more. PLEASE

Not a good night for teams we want to lose to lose...
SMU just beat #6 Houston
Rutgers just beat Ohio State
Seton Hall just beat Xavier
On a positive note...Baylor is pulling away from Kansas State in Manhattan. I was a bit worried KSU would keep things close...
