Think I would rather have Wisconsin keep winning at this point….not gonna pass them and the more they win the better our loss to them is…… even though it sounds strange to say “ better loss”.
Better get used to it. As soon as we move to the Big 12, every loss will be a “better loss”.

Lmao seriously, imagine if the B12 move happened next season instead of 23-24 tho with our loaded roster

On Bracketmatrix.com, Palm is ranked 100th out of 135. Lunardi is ranked 55th.
135 different people do their own bracketology? Apparently so.
Getting the 68 teams right, Lunardi and Palm are fine. But they’re usually off a little on seeding
So i post the Field of 68 seed list. Its done by some lesser guys, who have been pretty accurate in years past

They need to put a time limit on official reviews. 15 minutes later there is still 1 minute left. Down 4

Arkansas and Alabama both lose.
Alabama is looking like a 6 seed
Arkansas drops back to a 5 seed.
Leaving that 4 seed line open for UH

Yeah, but, it’s the SEC! I expect AR to move up at least 2 spots because of a quality road loss. 
The fact that a 12 loss Alabama team will be no worse than a 6 seed is just awful.
When all is said and done they’ll be the most overseeded team in March Madness history and unsurprisingly get crushed in the R64 by Rutgers or some other bubble team

Bama has the talent to be a top 10 in the country team….Oates sucks

Yep. Since “beating” us, Alabama is 11-11. Meanwhile we have gone 18-2 while running an 8 man rotation ever since.
I also think we finish no worse than 2nd in the SEC while also getting a 1 seed with a fully healthy roster Having any major home games rigged in your favor is a huge perk lol

Not to be devil advocate, i don’t thk this loss will hurt Arky. They’re on the road, playing against Tenn a #3 in some brackets, worse case #4 in others. Unfortunate but doubt they drop bc close loss on Road to quality opponent on Senior Day. Jmo.
Lastly, its going to be tight till the end but I see abt 8 teams rn that could be part of the 14-18 positions within the Committee

Correct. A loss like this for Arkansas will drop them a spot. So instead of 16th overall, they might be 17 or 18. Putting then at a 5 seed.
It will be very close down the stretch
If they make a solid run in SEC tournament, they jump right back to the 4 seed, very possibly.

Let me go see where the Top 2 Bracketologist I’ve respected over the yrs had Arky. They usually have them listed in numerical order 12, 13, 14 etc.
You know what is awesome about basketball? If we are good enough it doesn’t matter. If we lose to a better team then we are done. If we win we move on. Seeding be damned.
One very well respected Bractologist but not part of the Natl Media guys has 14-18 as follows.
- Providence
- Arky ( before loss today to # 12)
- UCLA
- UH
- UT
Absolutely Coogs can jump Arky n maybe even UCLA but Only if the COOGS win Sunday. Otherwise u have loss on Road against Bubble team vs loss on Road to #3 Seed. Advantage Arky.

I get that seeding talk seems like it doesn’t matter.
Whats the difference between a 4 seed & 5 seed?
They’re gonna play each other anyway. So no difference.
One big difference is the 1st round game. The 5 vs 12 matchup. Very common for upsets.
Current 12 seeds: VCU, North Texas, Iona
*VCU ranked 4th in defensive efficiency
*North Texas is ranked 18th in defensive efficiency
*Iona has Rick Pitino, former Louisville head coach, as their coach. And they have 2 former AAC guards on their roster.
Would much rather face the 13 seeds
