It's back with vengeance. Good job, S20.

The Indiana vs. Michigan State game is big for both teams — and the Big Ten.

My Memphis Tigers likely will not make it.

Let's hope the BE gets four. Only three would yield "less-than-ideal optics." And that BE quartet, collectively, is very good.

2 huge ones....
Indiana/Michigan St
Georgia Tech/Duke

also would add UConn/Seton Hall to that list.

Yep, those three games are big. Agree.

Josh Pastner has done a fine job at GaTech this season. I never thought he would "make it" but he seems to be proving me wrong.

Thanks, Stever.

I just hope this goes to completion this time around.

it'll be interesting to see how high up Syracuse goes on the next update.

Heard they're allowing SH fans for the game @Hall. Should be a nice boost for the pirates if they do, it's a must win for them imo. I haven't really understood the fascination with them this season, I don't think their resume is anything special, especially since they have some head scratching losses.

Of course, I hope we smash them and get closer to should be in/ lock status lol

Shouldn't be that much of a boost imo. I watched that UNC game last night, and was laughing at how they almost blew a double digit lead with like 4min left. They're just not that great of a team.

theres a lot of flawed teams out there...

Syracuse will have a shot- good game in the 8/9 game 1st round for them and then a shot at 1 seed in the ACC tourney. they win both of those they could easily sneak in.

Xavier needs to wake up here or they're in deep trouble.

[narrator] And they didn't fully wake up.

think a pretty good night for Seton Hall with Indiana and Duke losing. Not to mention Boise losing. Probably will be in if Bracketville guy updates tomorrow.

not so great for Xavier- who now is looking at having quite likely to be in a 1st 4 game.

I watched the last five minutes or so of the GU vs. XU game. Adam Kunkel (Belmont transfer) goes 2 of 8 from 3 range for Xavier. Every time I watch XU for AK ... he does not do well.

Georgetown might be one of the nation's "better bad teams."

DePaul played, statistically, fairly well in the loss to Marquette (notwithstanding too many fouls). The Blue Demons simply don't know how to win. Frustrating.

Wasn't referring to their overall chances of making it. Was talking about that one game at home against UNC. It wasn't even a Q1 win, and they almost blew the game. I know I'm pretty biased here, but there's so many teams better than Cuse imo. They don't even have a Q1 victory this season, and their win % isn't anything special.

I would take any of the "bubble teams" in the AAC (WSU, SMU, Memphis) over them any day, and think all are more deserving of a bid than Cuse.

Agreed on Georgetown. They're not a bad team, at least not nearly as bad as their record would indicate. I think Ewing has done a great job considering all of the talent he lost last year.

I'm hoping both make it along with UConn. Looking to be unlikely though with X losing to Georgetown

The loser tonight's game with Seton Hall/UConn-
UConn has Georgetown
Seton Hall has St John's

That's probably a must win for whoever loses tonight. I'd say especially Seton Hall who right now is sitting at 13-10

Big Pat has, indeed, a very solid job this season.
