Cincy? 80% in.

both are 100% in.

Funny thing with UConn winning again today......that fives Cincy 2 more top 50 RPI wins. Cincy beat UConn 2 times this year.

Despite what ESPN said, UConn was already in the top 50 RPI after yesterday. They are now #40 after today.

Looks about right, thanks

I don't like the Yankees winning the title but it is more fun when they are in the playoffs.

The fact is, going back to the 2011 Final Four, as much as I like the underdog pushing through I'll never, for example, pay for a ticket to a football stadium to watch "meh" basketball, which the major teams are not immune to producing TBF. But the fact is, I want some 38-0 Kentucky or heck 28-5 Michigan State to go with my Monmouth.

That said, I will go to the Final Four if I get access to tickets (e.g. radio contest, friend invite).

I hope so,

- Joe Lunardi of ESPN projects UC as a No. 10 NCAA Midwest seed, facing No. 7 Wisconsin.

- Jerry Palm of CBS Sports said of UC via email: “Should be OK.” Palm also has UC as a No. 10 Midwest seed, playing No. 7 Texas.

- Shelby Mast of USA Today said of UC via email: “I think they are a lock, 11 seed at worst.” Mast projects UC as a No. 9 South seed, playing Texas Tech.”

UConn and Cincinnati are both in now. Sorry, but they aren't leaving UConn out for Monmouth.

Temple and Memphis could also be in from AAC.
