YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY!!!!

THE SHRINK

THE SHRINK

A percentage point here, a percentage point there.

A win here, a loss there.

Boy, the day played well if you are ODU and sitting on the bubble.

Alabama gets beat by double digits by Kentucky. The Tide can forget about the NCAAs.

Clemson goes scoreless for the last 3 1/2 minutes against Florida State. Say hello to the NIT.

Georgetown beats Villanova and single-handedly gives ODU's strength of schedule in the Ratings Percentage Index a boost while deflating Drexel's.

Syracuse loses to Notre Dame and Drexel takes another RPI hit.

Toledo beat Eastern Michigan and that's a good thing for the Monarchs because Toledo's RPI has now climbed into the top 100.

That makes ODU 6-4 against Top 100s and 4-2 against Top 50s for the year.
Michigan beat Minnesota in the Big Ten, but I believe the Wolverines still have to win another to get consideration.

ODU could have used a loss by Arkansas, but that didn't happen.

Out west, my original thought was that Air Force needed to come up big in the Mountain West, but when the Falcons lost their RPI fell to the point (No. 32) that ODU can now see their claws, which are clinging to the hopes of an at-large. A first-round tournament exit is not a good thing.

Colorado almost pulled the upset of Texas Tech. ODU fans should hope that's it for Texas Tech and the Red Raiders go down in the next round of the Big 12.

Nevada, BYU and Memphis all won and since they are already assured bids, it would be in ODU's best interest if those bids were of the automatic kind.

I rooted hard for Louisville to beat West Virginia, which they did; a GOOD thing for a Monarchs fan.

By the way, Joe Lunardi's Bracketology now has ODU as a NO. 12 seed ...

playing Louisville ... in Spokane, Wash.!!!

For crying out loud!

Beggars can't be choosers. however. :party

Spokane sounds like a long ride on a jet plane but I am sure you will be out there if it happens, Shrink.

Shrink, are you saying that you think Kansas State is already in the tournament or not? I think the winner of that game has a pretty good shot to get in and they dang sure both can't get in, but I think one of them will.

Tech is in.

K-State is in with a win.


So looking like they are both in. Big 12 gets 5, barring the BAYLOR BEARS UPSET SPECIAL -- YOU KNOW THEY'VE BEEN SANDBAGGING IT ALL YEAR LONG FOR THE B12 TOURNEY!!!

I'd like to see them both get in, but I don't think they will.

Re: YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY!!!!

Based on resumes, Tech should be in and K-State would be on the bubble.

But would be hard for the committee to put Texas Tech and not K-State in if the Wildcats win this game by 20+ on a neutral floor.

ODU's chances took some hits today. I still think that the CAA gets 2 bids this year.

Nick my buddy,

I would beg to differ with you...

Air Force lost in the first round of the Mountain West by five to Wyoming.

That means Air Force has lost four straight coming into Selection Sunday and 6 of 10.

Have they played themselves off the NCAA board?

Possibly.

And that only helps ODU's at-large cause.

So did Georgia Tech going down in double OT to a mediocre Wake Forest team last night after I'd gone to sleep,

Other outcomes that were good for ODU:

Louisville over West Virginia, which very well could have bumped the Mountaineers.

UNLV whopped Utah by 26. UNLV winning its tournament would be a good thing.

Had to like UNC beating Florida State by 15.

Ohio State bumping Michigan by 10 was also a good thing for the Monarchs.

Keep checking those scores. It's getting interesting.

Re: YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY!!!!

Shrink I hope you are correct. I was looking at results like Illinois winnning and Nevada and Xavier losing.

Do those conference winners take an at-large away?

Not a chance does a team that went 6-10 in their conference get an at-large bid. Ok State needs to win 2 more games to win it all.

I agree with you but the pairings are due to CBS at halftime of the championship game--- no way you can eliminate a participant in the Big 12 championship game. Would be hilarious to see a conference champion not seeded--what a disaster.

The pairings will be announced after all games are completed. And I think it's safe to say that they won't invite a conference champion because they didn't have time to see who won.

Russ is Correct Dewey...The Selection show is on from 6-7 PM after all the games are completed as always... And it is impossible for a conference Champion to be excluded as they get Automatic Bids....all teams are seeded as well...from 1-16 in each Bracket after the play in game.

Re: YESTERDAY WAS A REALLY GOOD DAY!!!!

I don't think Tech gets in, but they certainly could.

An osu win today would make things interesting.

I agree about the conference record however winning three games in three days and beating the number 7 and 14 ranked teams in the country back to back has to count for something.

I think that something would be consideration and that's about it unfortunately. Even a win and a last second loss to KU isn't likely enough and that pisses me the hell off, but when you can't freaking win a single damn road game, not even Colorado or Baylor, you don't deserve to get in even if you have beaten Pitt, Missouri State, Syracuse, Texas, aTm, etc.

Guys this isn't a huge deal. But CBS goes in the committee room at 5:30 eastern the pairings are given to them then. There are still games going on--they usually don't matter to the process. I know how this works.

I know of what I speak and wouldn't post some thing that is outrageous. With the Big 12 start it will finish right as the pairing are given to CBS-- so I am sure the committee could adjust on its feet and they may have contingencies in place for something to spare us a disaster.

Good luck and have an enjoyable tourney. I like the discussion of the seeds and pairing on this forum -- you guys do a good job.
