IMHO...One of these has to make a big show in the Big 12 Tournament to get selected.

All three are out unless they win the big 12 tourney. Nebraska may have been close if they had not lost to colorado recently, but now we are a 5-bid league unless someone goes on a fluke 4-game win streak.

Colorado is still in for Lunardi, but I expect losses in conference play for some teams which will take away at-larges.

This selection Sunday is gonna be the best ever

Poor UMKC, another blowout loss in the 1st round of the Summit league tournament. Matt Brown should be fired tomorrow.

I think Missouri is a dreaded 8/9 seed. Gonna be some tough games for them. I would be shocked if the Bears got in. But damn they deserve a spot after all the horse shit that has happened with that program in regards to the tournament.

There aren't any bracket buster games today.

Gonzaga plays St Mary's for the WCC Championship, but regardless of who wins they are either both making it or only one of them. No huge blow to all other teams depending on who wins.

You forgot about VCU/Old Dominion.

If VCU wins, that will take a spot away from the bubble.

**Buck** · 03-07-2011, 05:51 PM

You think Old Dominion is going to get an at large bid?

I guess they could, but I don't see both George Mason and Old Dominion getting At Large bids. One or the other.

No question in my mind. As will George Mason.

I just edited my post, but I really doubt the CAA gets 3 bids.

GMU and ODU are better than shitty teams like Colorado and VT so I really don't see the problem.

Exactly. Those 2 teams would beat teams like Colorado and VT like rented mules.

KC_Connection · 03-07-2011, 05:53 PM

ODU is a 8 on that bracket matrix you posted, BTW.

**Buck** · 03-07-2011, 06:07 PM

I forgot about the extra 4 spots this year.

If it was at 64 I think George Mason or ODU would be out because I can account for 63 other teams and I doubt they'd get the last spot, but these last 4 will probably help them.
