Raise your hand if you knew that it's March 3rd and Auburn has only one Quad 1 win

Memphis could lose in the first round of the AAC Tournament or make the Sweet 16. Trailed UAB by 22 today, but won the game by 19.

Baylor's schedule this week:
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) March 4, 2024
Texas (tonight)
At Texas Tech (Saturday)
Bears can add a pair of Quad 1 wins before the Big 12 Tournament.
Already have SEVEN!
Scott Drew's squad looks like a two seed.
That's a tough draw for Purdue. Kentucky is a nightmare matchup for them in the S16 ( assuming both get that far)
Clemson's a lock for the tournament. They've put together a good resume against a good schedule this year.historian said:
Pitt's woes (& Clemson's) have nothing to do with the Big 12 or any other conference. It's entirely their own. If they don't get into the tournament it's entirely because they did not earn it. Same with any other potential bubble team or team that thinks they should be in the bubble.
It's not only about who one CB plays non conference, it's also the record of wins & losses. One could even argue that the Big 12 gauntlet makes up somewhat from playing too many cupcakes. It would be a lame excuse for poor scheduling but it has some truth.
In the end, the committee should use Net rankings and maybe KenPom, Torvik, EvanMiya, etc to decide & let the chips fall where they may. I certainly hope they won't be influenced by the whining of some coaches.
Other than the fact that they were left out last year, I'm not sure why Brownell is being such a baby, to be honest. It almost seems like there's a directive from the league for ACC coaches to trash the Big 12 in an effort to get more teams into the field.
Sounds plausible, since the ACC is only about 5-6 deep in quality teams this year (compared to the Big12's 8-10).bear2be2 said:Clemson's a lock for the tournament. They've put together a good resume against a good schedule this year.historian said:

Parsed Sports has us a 3 Seed and making it to Sweet 16. Funny enough it has Clemson in Final Four. Its a live bracket so literally changes after each round of daily games, but still fun to check out. Go bears!
Marquette's Tyler Kolek (oblique) will miss the Golden Eagles' final two regular season games against UConn and Xavier and be re-evaluated prior to the Big East Tournament, per release.

I could see Marquette dropping off the 2 line and Baylor sliding in that spot, but obviously have to win at Tech.

Baylor has a bunch of offensive weapons.

Tonight was Jalen Bridges’ night.
32 points, 9 boards, 6-7 from 3 in a win over Texas.
The Bears will need to defend at a higher level, but they can score with just about anyone.
Self said Kevin McCullar tweaked his knee against K-State. Self said he isn't sure if he will practice today and he hopes he'll practice tomorrow ahead of the Houston game. #KUbball

They'd be silly to play him. If they're doing anything in the dance they'll need him.
Unless a team has a shot to move down a seed, they need to give their banged up studs some extra rest.
Baylor is already guaranteed a double-bye for the conference tourney. There is nothing to be gained by playing Love Saturday vs Tech.

Not sure how Iowa State is ahead of us on the 3 seed line? They lost to a sub 500 K state team and we lost to the 4 th place team in our league. Creighton losing would have helped us, so close.

So Of Course we play him. Know the rust off. Right or wrong? Who knows
Agreed. He showed flashes Saturday, but there was some obvious ring rust. Better to knock the rest of that off before the important tournament.Fre3dombear said:LIB,MR BEARS said:

Agreed. If he's healthy, players gotta play

How in the world does he have UNC ahead of Houston? That makes zero sense.
Jerry Palm has us as a two seed, but obviously we have to win tonight to keep that.

He doesn't. It's kind of confusing how he lists them. If you look at the seed numbers though you will see he has UH #3 and UNC #4.
Got it, my mistake. Damn mid 40 eyesight.

Let's go Bulldogs
Lunardi had Tenn as the top 2 seed.
They just got bounced by Miss St by 17 points. They came in as a 9.5 favorite.
Not sure how much the loss will impact them.

Gott take down ISU and hang tight with Houston to get that 2.

No team who has lost their first conference tourney game has ever gone on to win the national title, which is bad news for Creighton, Tennessee, Duke, Kansas and Syracuse

He's the mbb equivalent of ARod (who was derisively nicknamed "Mr. May")
How does he keep Arizona and ISU in the same spots after today's results?
