If Duke is #1 and UConn is #5, they can't be in the same region per rules.
Lunardi is an idiot for thinking UConn is #5, though

My fear is Michigan State (or Illinois) gets the Midwest and we get San Jose. I do think Houston and Florida could be flipped in this as well.
For getting teams in the field. They have never said they are favoring it for seeding.
I am guessing a lot of the bracket predictions are overweighting it for seeding.
UConn behind Iowa State in the first bracket reveal shows that. Iowa States WAB was not very good
How about Uconn getting pisspounded by 20. MSU going out in the quarter finals but haven't had the metrics of us all yr.
Palm was terrible. He retired, providing hope that Cobb would be better. He looks just as bad.
Thanks Rulzzz! well we will know by 6 what reality is. No matter what, I know if this team plays as well as we did in KC, there aren't many teams that want to see us. This is one of our better teams in a long time. Each yr TJ's teams just keep getting more balanced it is fun to watch.
Looking at the teamsheets I'm curious does the committee value resume or predictive metrics more.
If they weight resume more then UConn, Virginia, and Vanderbilt might get the node
If they weight predictive metrics more then Iowa State, Illinois, and Purdue win out. This also matches up with NET a lot more
I'll be annoyed if its a mix of UConn, Virginia, and Michigan State or something like that which would have zero consistency but I would not put that past the committee.
Average of the resume and quality (not a metric the committe would use but I was curious):
UConn - 7.8
Purdue - 8.8
Iowa State - 9.5
Vanderbilt - 9.85
Virginia - 11.7
Illinois - 12.2

Traditionally, resume metrics are used for selection and predictives are used for seeding.
Glad we have this thread, it's hard to know which thread to post in sometimes with multiple general college basketball threads.
In any event, I have a question for you guys. Who do you think should get in? A Miami Ohio team that won all their games except one but had one of the easiest schedules in the country or Auburn who basically went .500 against one of the toughest schedules in the country.
I'm sure the committee is having a sleepless night over this one. I think the logistics look bad if they don't take a team that was undefeated going into their conference tournament in a mid level not low level league and will have them in due to that but who do you guys think SHOULD be in. Don't say neither, pick one.
I'd say Miami because I'd like to see the little guy get a chance and there's something to be said for winning all your games.

That could be but I can't understand how Bracket Matrix has UConn and Michigan state on the 2 line?? http://www.bracketmatrix.com/
Normally BM is pretty good at this and things can still shift but that would not line up with predictive rankings at all.
How do you know the committee had UConn and MSU ahead of ISU before the conference tournament? None of us know that to be true.
Definitely is a diametric comparison.
There's a possibility both get in, but you present is either/or, so I won't sway from that. I think Miami is more likely of the two to get in, but Auburn getting it wouldn't shock me.
I guess that's still waffling.
Miami. Auburn has already shown over and over that they cannot win enough games.
Thanks for the answer smh lolDefinitely is a diametric comparison.

Jk, I tend to agree. I'd rather reward the team that won all its games in the regular season rather than reward the ultimate mediocrity even if the schedule was a lot tougher.
His updated sheet has them as a 6, but still in the Midwest. Have to think ISU and UConn swap regions. Not sure on his rationale for that.
It's The Tournament, every team scares me. Survive and advance.
Agree. I’m really hoping ISU gets a 2 seed with Nebraska being the 3. The committee has always made some matchups for story reasons, and ISU playing a Hoiberg team is a perfect story if both make the sweet 16.
I agree. I only said it was a metric they were using heavily. Even I'm of the opinion it only has limited uses for higher seeds.
