Re: Bracketology

Kentucky first round and Texas Tech second round.

As for Wichita State, we did well when we were above 60% on three's. Once we cooled off the score changed quickly. Honestly, whoever we draw, if we don't shoot 45% or higher from three we don't have much of a chance. If we shoot like we did against Kansas we will suffer the same type of result.

If Kentucky wins the SEC championship, I would think they'll be a 3 or 4 seed.

Rhode Island of A-10 another #1 conference seed headed to NIT. They have the slimmest chance to win. They do lose 58-57.

These games push the yotes further out of consideration for the NIT.

Rhode Island will get an at-large. They won’t be in the NIT

Former IUPUI coach Ron Hunter has his Ga State team in the final game for the Sun Belt bid to tournament. They are leading by double digits in second half.

Yep. If anything Rhode Island just caused Bobby Hurley's Arizona State team to be bumped out of the tournament. Rhode Island is coached by Danny Hurley, Bobby's brother.

Re: Bracketology

I would take Wichita State on a neutral court any day. We put a scare into them at their place and they needed some home cooking to escape with a W. And the minute a March Madness crowd starts smelling a big upset, it is no longer a neutral court.

Interesting to note that in a recent interview of Jenkins I read, he said he would rather face Kansas again instead of Wichita because the Shockers play better defense (his words).

On the flip side, we played the Shockers really well considering Jenkins only played an unproductive 15 minutes. I'd prefer not to play anybody a second time though.

Agree. The first time we played the Shockers I think we surprised (shocked?) them. We won't be sneaking up on them this time. Plus, I enjoy seeing the Jacks play against new teams.

I do agree with Jenkins that our best chance of an upset would be against a free-flowing team. Virgina, West Virgina, and the like that play smothering defense would be a tall task.

Re: Bracketology

Lunardi moved us up to a 12, playing Gonzaga. He moved Marshall down to a 13. That was after Davidson beat Rhode Island. Not sure why.

Re: Bracketology

I feel our best chance is to sneak up on someone not respecting us, much like Gonzaga last year or Wichita State this year. I don't think facing a team a second time is to our advantage.

Re: Bracketology

Can the other SDSU play in SanDiego? It’d be their home court I think.

Re: Bracketology

No sneak.

Stomp.

Watching paint dry, or grass grow, would be more entertaining. And live audience? WTF?

Oh, and did you know they were in Atlanta? They've only mentioned it three or five times by now.
