Bracket Reveal top 16

[auror]

The first bracket reveal of the season is happening at 12:30 during our game. Any predictions? Will we be in or out?

BracketMatrix has us as a 4 (S-curve #13), but some do have us as a 5.

 

[UofCT]

I think we are 15 or 16

I think we'll be on the 4 line, and Marquette will be a low 3/high 4. Xavier just outside looking in.

Should be in top 16 you would think with NET at #8.......I imagine on the 4 line around 14 but outside shot at 3 line.

UConn has 4 wins in NET top #15, don't know if anyone exceeds that but pretty good stat imo.

I'm putting my money on a 3-seed.

This is what my crude model spits out (1/3 ave predictive metrics, 1/3 ave resume metrics, 1/3 quad 1+2 win%):

	Final Rank	Seed
Alabama	1	1
Houston	2	1
Purdue	3	1
Kansas	4	1
UCLA	5	2
Arizona	6	2
Baylor	7	2
Texas	8	2
Gonzaga	9	3
Virginia	10	3
Tennessee	11	3
Marquette	12	3
Saint Mary's	13	4
UConn	14	4
Xavier	15	4
San Diego St	16	4
Miami	17	5
Iowa St	18	5
Kansas St	19	5
Indiana	20	5

Pretty close to the Bracket Matrix, only differing on a couple of the 4 seeds (2 seedlines higher on SDSU).

A 50/50 blend of just resume and predictive has us as a 3 seed.

 

[Hi-Low]

UConn outside the top 16....committee chair said UConn was close so likely a 5 seed right now. Have some work to do to make the 3 line in their eyes....need to close strong.

Indiana over UConn makes no sense whatsoever. They're worse in every metric.

 

[king conn]

Looks like the metric they used specifically for us was the AP top 25 poll.

 

[SubbaBub]

Committee won't gift us MSG. Need a run to leave no doubt. It's hard to argue us above X since they beat us twice.

 

[YoungFree]

NCAA playing it safe

Exactly

 

[Fishy]

They’re better in the “not losing to Xavier“ metric.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

They eyeball fan confidence as expressed in social media.

 

[Rico444]

Looks like we'll have to make the Big East Tournament finals to crack the top 4 seeds. Crazy

 

[August_West]

We did this to ourselves.

But….The metrics ?

Nah I think we get there before BET

Andre Jackson needs to be in attack mode like this all the time. ESPECIALLY in transition.

 

[Hurleyman216]

A win is a win. If we were allowed to play D as physical as Seton Hall does we’d be undefeated. They had 40+ fouls by my estimate.

 

[Dove]

Andre is The Answer. We excel when he does. We fail when he does.

That's the story until we have a Caron, Kemba, Rip, Bazz or Khalid.

That missed air ball that Jackson almost turned into a 180 dunk would have been hands down the play of the year in all of college basketball

We had 40+ mistakes, unforced.

Helpful that Richmond did not complete the game.. Great D/Boards.. Thought Andre had an excellent bounce-back game and Diarra had a great floor game.. SH is a tough/gritty team.. Can we keep the ball out of Sanogo's hands in the last three minutes of the game? LOL..Made most of our FTs.
Needed the win goin' into Wed..
