Of course I would love for both teams to end up in Group 1. Though I don't know where they will finish, I think MS St is most likely to end up at 50-75. I think Fla will hover around 40-50. So, it's not clear cut who to root for. It's possible a MS St victory means they both end up in Group 2. I would like to avoid Group 2 losses if we can. That's all I'm saying. |

Looking like Florida will win. So now just need them to stay top 50. And keep track of Miss St to remain top 75.
Also, UCONN, out of nowhere...up 6 late on UCF |

It's time we figure out how to play UCF this year! Our bigs have looked very confused against Tacko...hopefully they have seen enough of him now to know what his defensive range is. If they do get in a situation under the bucket and want to get a shot off they need to use the up and under to let the rim shield them from Tacko's reach.

I don't like these arbitrary cutoffs...they don't really make any sense. We just moved the bar from one arbitrary cutoff to the next. The only reason we still have them is so the committee can make choices with certain teams or conferences...but they say they don't do this. So why then do we have arbitrary cutoffs? Why do we need a selection committee? Select your criteria and let the chips fall where they may. That is the most fair and transparent way to do it. But then March Madness might not be quite as spectacular if we take out the human element. It is the best event in sports IMO...so I guess they do something right. |

I don't want to steal Justin's thread, but I'd like to keep it going.
Thursday Jan 11th 2018 Utah @ UCLA 11pm ESPN2 UCLA looks to stay squarely in Group 1. 68% chance to win. Tulsa @ Houston 7pm ESPNU We only play Tulsa once, at home. Houston can give us one, possibly two Group 1 games. 85% chance to win. Wichita St @ East Carolina 9pm ESPN2 Need Wichita to stay top 30 to give us two Group 1 games. 98% chance to win. |

Easily swept the Thursday games, by an average of 29 points.
The only game of even remote interest today is Cleveland State, who is hopelessly bound to Group 4. No point in tracking games like that. |
