Colgate @ Boston University

Baylor @ Texas

Colgate won their toughest remaining game, and now seems locked into Q3. Texas missed their third consecutive chance for a Q1 win and now sits on 10 losses.

Tuesday February 11

Arkansas @ Tennessee
Bowling Green @ Akron

Penn St @ Purdue
Miss St @ Ole Miss
Rhode Island @ Dayton
Notre Dame @ Virginia
Utah St @ Colorado St

I don't understand why Utah St is even in the conversation (only 3 quality wins and 2 bad losses), but Jerry Palm has them as an 11 seed, so whatever.

Palm is not great.

Utah St is hanging their hat on OOC wins against Florida and LSU. So far they have zero quality wins in conference, but losses against UNLV and Air Force. Tonight's game at Colorado St might be their last chance for a quality win, so I'm hoping the Rams put an end to it.

Penn St @ Purdue
Miss St @ Ole Miss
Rhode Island @ Dayton
Notre Dame @ Virginia
Utah St @ Colorado St

Tennessee destroyed Arkansas, which makes them a more likely Q2 win and pushes Arkansas closer to the bubble. Virginia and Utah St picked up Q2 wins in close games, so we'll need to win Thursday to keep pace. I'd say we're comfortably ahead of Miss St now. Purdue has 11 losses. Rhode Island currently only has one Q1 win, and has just one opportunity left at home against Dayton.

Tennessee is just 7 spots from being a Q3 win.


Need them to finish strong.

But they end the season with 5 straight top 50 games.

Hard to count on them staying q2

NET rankings haven't updated yet today. I think they'll move up 5 spots or so. Agreed on them needing a strong finish. I think ending the season with only top 50 games actually helps. There are no landmines.

Edit: just updated. Tennessee moved up to 62.

VCU picks up their first bad loss at home against George Mason. I expect we'll take their spot in the field.

Thursday February 13

Iowa @ Indiana
Washington @ USC

Arizona St @ Stanford is an interesting bubble game. Arizona St has better quadrant records than most bubble teams, but their Kenpom ranking is #66. Stanford has weak quadrant records, but is top 30 in the NET. Bracketmatrix prefers Stanford, but I lean towards Arizona St as having the stronger overall resume. I think their efficiency numbers are skewed by a 40 pt loss at St Marys and a 28 pt loss at Arizona.
