***Official 2013 Bracketology Thread***

I'd love a crack Mizzou. Their good players are gone. And even though it would be another Michigan team in Ann Arbor, what is scary about Michigan, hardaway's kid, just put Babb on him and it's shutdown city.
Hard to contain Burke if Babb is on Hardaway. McGary and Morgan would be a handful down low and Stauskas and Robinson are quite the handful also. INCREDIBLY tough game but definitely do-able if we knock down shots early and control boards.
 
Just reopen that link and look at it so you can see Memphis above ISU and UK below ISU. Look at the breakdown of games vs. various RPI's. Why is ISU in the same conversation with those two teams???
He has CSU and their #15 rpi on the bubble watch. I used to respect his fair look at all the criteria the comitte looks at but with a #15preconcussion rpi they arent getting looked at. H
 
I think we can play with about anybody, Michigan at Auburn Hills=not neutral court=not good. See Larrys Mich St game for reference.

I'm aware of what happened then but what better way to exercise those demons by beating Michigan there.

I think it's silly Lunardi is predicting ISU v. UNLV and winner to face Kansas (most likely)

Why do I find it silly? How often is it that a team faces a team they've already played the first two rounds of the tournament?

In addition, doesn't the committee try and make it so conference teams don't meet until the Sweet 16?

I saw that, and I'm guessing he is just throwing them in based on overall seed without regard to some of the finer details

I am beginning to think the bracketology people on the various sites are not overly bright and may have graduated from a sub standard school overseas. Some may not have played basketball. Some found a niche to lay in. Some of the predictions are real lame.
 
It may just be the McDoormat factor, but I don't get Creighton up so high after the Drake loss. They just chalking that up to the player who supposedly wasn't good enough to play for us being sick?
 
Also, losses to Illinois State (13-10), Southern Illinois (9-14), Drake (11-11) and Morehead State (11-13). That is a combination that would sink most.

All road losses. Their big nuetral site and road wins more than make up for that.
 
I guess we will see. I think it will take more. Perhaps if they beat either Creighton or Wichita State (again), and win the rest, they will be in, barring an early exit from the MVC tournament.

I wasn't stating an opinion. The 3 wins I listed count for 3.4 wins, while the 4 losses you listed only count as 2.4 losses. I don't think they will make the tournament when all is said and done, but their quality road/nuetral court wins and lack of bad home losses is why their RPI is that high.
