BACATOLOGY: 3/11 NCAA Tournament Analysis***Rutgers 95% in***
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
For the 16 seeds that get sent to Dayton is it based on team metrics or that of the conference?
Marist really could have pulled this one off
Can’t inbound

Jerry Palm just said on CBS that Rutgers is his last team in, and if UAB wins then they would steal a bid from Rutgers. But I’m not sure if he meant we would just be in Dayton.
No he meant we are out
It’s more about the ONE spot as last bye which could potentially be stolen. That’s all I was referring to. Lunardi is AWFUL besides
He’ll adjust it tomorrow so he doesn’t look as foolish as normal. He’ll probably leave the bowl cut and the clown suit alone however.
It's amazing but neither fau or uab looks like they belong in the tourney. It's just very undisciplined basketball.
cbs trotting jerry palm out there every night and using his rankings every day on the broadcasts is the biggest slap in the face to college basketball fans ever. What the he*l are they doing? They can get a homeless guy on the street that not only dresses better, but will have a better haircut and pick teams better
I don't really think Bracket Matrix sorts correctly.
For example, North Carolina State is on 102 brackets with an average seed of 10.75. Rutgers is on 114 brackets with an average seed of 10.9. To me the # of brackets should trump the average seed, but the matrix has NC State above Rutgers.

Ok but Palm has us as his last team in. Not a last bye seed. He's an outlier.
Lunardi is ranked higher than Palm albeit not by much.
With Palm as its bracketologist, it's no wonder Rutgers hasn't had a game aired on CBS in decades.
Wait... he's not homeless?
I had a nightmare last night. Matt Millen Beth mowers and Bill Walton were assigned to call every rutgers game football and basketball. Jerry palm was the sideline reporter.
Jerry palm ….He is a true agenda driven schmuck
Yeah... teams not listed should be given like an invisible 12 seed for averaging purposes.
I hear you but it’s a little better than that
Just turned FAU-UAB on. What sport am I watching!? This is division 1 basketball? And are they playing in a hotel ballroom?
FAU UAB is legit a pick up game
It's the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility. Not kidding.
FAU is bricking some wide open threes that would bury UAB. Still up 16.
I am going to have to take a shower after watching this game.
Welcome to the party. I have seen better played games at the ymca.
I’m surprised it’s not shirts and skins
I was gonna pop an edible but don't think I need one anymore
Jerry palm is a Purdue graduate. Rutgers owns Purdue. Jerry is sad. Jerry is biased.
Seriously how can the committee give at at large bid to fau if they lose.
The USA should demand this conference stops using their name
Uab does not believe in passing the ball. Coach schiano must love this team.
Assuming an FAU win I think the field is basically set. The only wildcard is if they overcorrect for Texas A&M last year and decide Vanderbilt did enough. I don't think a legit case can be made for Nevada, Oklahoma State, or Clemson over the 11 seeds (Rutgers, Mississippi State, Pitt, NC State, Arizona State, and Providence).
