Baylor picked up two teams that can play well above their seed in Louisville and Tennessee.

Potential Miss State - DePaul 2nd round game. Talk about a clash in styles. Run and gun, 3 point shooting team vs. a defensive first team that loves to go inside.

Northern Iowa grabbing an at-large berth.

Creme had Cal out in his last bracket, so there's one wrong for him. His last 4 was Michigan, Iowa State, Auburn, and Virginia. |
Cal's wins over UCLA, Oregon, and Oklahoma make up for having a not great conference record, but the strength of the PAC-12 and having no bad non-conferences losses made up for that.

Northern Iowa looked really good in an OT loss in the championship game vs. Drake. Honestly I think they are probably just as good, if not better than some of these other bubble teams.

Stanford, Texas, Ohio St, Kentucky will all be in Lexington. Hardly a cakewalk.

Gotta be rough for bubble team Iowa to not make it but see two in state bubble teams get in, ISU and NIU.

No team that's three games under .500 in conference should be in the tournament, IMO

Who is left on the bubble? Purdue, Virginia, Michigan, Auburn, GW, Indiana? With Maryland getting a 3, I'd be surprised if OSU hosted. Big Ten not getting much love this year but to be honest it was down this year.

Stanford stinks. Texas can't get out of their own way, tOSU plays no defense, and Kentucky is low Top 25 team, hardly a threat.
Nice try though.

I disagree. What conference you are in shouldn't have any bearing.

Hard and fast rule is tough because now conferences are so big that teams don't have the same schedule.

Looks like NCSt will be in Lexington and UVA won't make it.

Just realized Chattanooga played Louisville in the regular season already. I hate seeing 1st round rematches, but oh well.

Michigan might miss the tournament altogether. They have no great wins, unlike Purdue. Indiana and GW were never going to be in. We'll have to see on Virginia.

Purdue is in. Well deserved, they are on the upswing. Green Bay is a tough opponent though, tourney tested.

Well Ohio St proved they're better than Maryland and ND just whipped Duke by 20, so UConn's 2&3 obviously are worse.

Auburn is in. 17-14, they were bad to end the year too. First pick I do not agree with at all.

myrtle should be happy with Stanford being hosted by Kansas State.
