Last year they steamrolled NC State in the first round too. But then lost their next one to UVA.

This is getting pretty nitty gritty, but since there isn't anyone around us on the seed line playing today, the only thing to look for today is NET/Quadrant implications. So for us, Colorado and Vandy to stay/move into Q1 for us, here are the teams around them that play today. Also some of these teams are currently Q1 for some of our competition on the seed line
Fresno St (69) vs San Jose St - 7pm
Kansas St (71) vs West Virginia (78) - 7pm ESPNU
St. John's (72) vs DePaul - 7pm FS1
Oregon (73) vs Oregon St - 5:30 P12N
Virginia (77) vs Louisville - 9:30 ESPN2
Vanderbilt (79) vs Georgia - 8pm SECN

And you know that the committee will put Marquette in TN’s bracket for the Barnes-Smart matchup if they can pull off a few wins.

George Mason v Fordham tomorrow at noon. English’s best result could be the NIT or those other tournaments if they still have them.

Georgia State will probably be in TN’s bracket as well as Shaka’s team if possible.

Oliver/ETSU are done.

CBI still exists and the CIT is now called the Basketball Classic. Either of them would really have to be desperate for a field if they're extending an invite to George Mason.

Georgia St is probably no better than a 15 seed so it won't matter if they're in our bracket unless we are a 2.

GM needs to win at least 3. An NCAAT bid might be more likely than one of the others at 14-15 right now (5 wins).

I don’t think a single one of those went our way other than Vanderbilt winning lol. They need to beat Alabama and all the teams ahead of them need to lose.

Vandy moved up to 71 and WVU dropped K State below Colorado. So now we have a 9-7 Q1 record. 9 wins against Q1 is tied for the next most after Gonzaga and Baylor’s 10

My thoughts on Iowa, Arizona, Kansas & Baylor…

-Iowa right now is one of the hotter teams in the nation and is getting projected around a 6/7 seed, their KenPom ranking and recent play suggest more of a 4 seed, get them to a 4/5 seed line and away from a potential 2nd round matchup with us as 6/7 seed. Also, they have a good chance of knocking off some B10 teams (Illinois, Wisconsin, Purdue) which would also further help us.

-Arizona, Kansas & Baylor all the same thing…I don’t think even if they lose we are likely to catch any of them, maybe there’s a path to catch Kansas but seems unlikely. So we’d be better off if those schools win and knock out the UCLA’s, USC’s, Texas Tech’s, Texas’ etc.

Add Indiana over Michigan on the NET impact. UM is 1 spot away from being a Q1 win for Purdue, Wisconsin and Illinois

Definitely agree on Iowa. With LSU and Alabama also slotted on the 6 line, that means we're about 50/50 on drawing red hot Iowa in the Round of 32. I'd much rather face UConn, Saint Mary's, or Ohio State.
