The ACC has fallen off a cliff….very top heavy.
Just like the Big 10.
If that was actually our bracket it would be a pretty easy ride to the Sweet 16.
We would beat the 8/9 by 15-25 points because we are too athletic and our defense is just to good.
South Carolina would be a game the Coogs would have to play well and actually shoot the ball a little.
Colorado St. and Wisconsin would be potential tough ones for different reasons but Coogs would advance.
That leaves a battle with Tennessee to get to the Final
Four.
Just random thoughts.

Funny enough, I think K-State deserves to be in too. They have a decent resume so far. I would take them over Michigan State, Mississippi State, Utah, and South Florida, probably even Florida.
K-State’s main issue is their metrics are atrocious compared to the average bubble team
If their NET was at 56 rather than 76 I think they sit comfortably as a 10 seed rather than 4-6th team out
Weird how they’re so low. How did UCF get above them?! I still don’t fully understand the NET. For instance, Arizona is above UCONN despite having less Q1 wins and a Q2 and Q3 loss (while UCONN has none). How does that happen? What’s the justification here?
@Coogfanstreif im not a NET expert. But basically blow out the bad teams & dont lose to bad teams and your NET should be decent
Kansas St NET is bad because:
*Barely beat Bellarmine (8pt win)
*Barely beat Oral Roberts (OT win)
*Barely beat North Alabama (1pt win)
*Barely beat Wichita St (9pt win)
*Barely beat Chicago St (7pt win)
*And they lost to USC early, wich turned out as a bad loss. USC is terrible
All these games against bad teams at Home. If you dont win by 20+, its gonna hurt your metrics, your NET ranking

Definitely a weird year:
*Washington St - 9 seed
*South Carolina- 4 seed
*Utah St - 6 seed
*Indiana St - 9 seed
Im not a huge fan of the Mountain West Conference. They’re currently getting 6 bids
No Arkansas, UCLA, Indiana, Michigan, Villanova, USC
Teams you usually see in the tournament

Rematch with A&M in the Elite 8 in Dallas will be something else

Eh I mean… do they even make it past TCU? I’d look for Duke or Marquette to make it through that section and we would feast against either one.

UH-Quinnipiac E8 would be elite!

Just checked on bracketmatrix.com (updated yesterday).
Purdue, UConn, and UH are listed as #1 seeds on all of the brackets.
I would be shocked if the Coogs were not a #1 seed on the top 16 bracket reveal on Saturday.

For sure they will. Can’t lose btw now & Saturday. I have them coming in as 3rd overall Team in Seeding list… behind UConn & Purdue.

Let’s make sure UH gets a projected #1 seed on Saturday by beating the burnt orange out of UT.
