Brackets and Rankings: 2024-2025

[HenryMuto]

This isn't great feeling seeing this. As this guy has won bracket matrix before and is the one I follow the closest of all of them as he is top notch and he moved X from in yesterday to out today the first team out.

His last 4 in (he has Colorado State winning auto bid)

Baylor
San Diego St
Texas
Indiana

His first 4 out

Xavier
Boise St
UNC
UC Irvine

It is going to come down to SD St, Texas, Indiana, Xavier, Boise St in my book

Really can't afford Memphis to lose

[HenryMuto]

VCU down 1 maybe losing this game knocks them out but I rather then win the tournament and not allow a possible bid stealer if they are in

[HenryMuto]

VCU advances so that be 1 of 2 sweats tomorrow if Memphis wins today

At 3:39 PM ET they interviewed the committee chair and he said all but 4 at large teams have been put in the field and he expects the final 4 to be put in before dinner. So this means when they look at Xavier they will seeing that 1 quad 1 that stands out now maybe again they don't care about that UCONN 32 vs 30 ect who knows.

They interviewed Dan Gavitt. He’s not actually on the committee. He’s the NCAA VP over Men’s Basketball. He also said something else. He said there are high quad 1 games and low quad 1 games and that they look at quad 1 and quad 2 combined, and that media and fans put too much emphasis on quad 1. I’ve heard him and David Worlock, who is another staffer who is also always with the committee, that some quad 2 games are given as much or even more value than some lower quad 1 games.

I’ve said this before, but I very seriously doubt that whether or not UConn is 30 or 32 is going to matter. They’re not incapable of observing that the level of win is pretty much the same.

I guess that is positive news. We are fanatics grasping for hope.

I would like to live in the world where Xavier gets into the tournament over North Carolina, Indiana, and Texas, but I do not believe that I live in that world.

[HenryMuto]

Memphis up 39-32 at half need this one to hold more than any other

And now Memphis tied at 41 life is never easy

Agreed. Honestly gun to my head it’s why I think x is already out.

Memphis tied with 8 mins left
