12/30 SEED LIST

There's still an air of projection in these.  Too many upsets have caused a lot of volatility at the top.  I think getting granular with the analysis at this stage in the season is a mistake.  So there's still some projection built in.

Don't read too much into individual teams.  Once again, pay attention to conferences.  Yes, teams get bids, not conferences.  But conference play determines how strong each individual team's resume is.

B1G is in good shape to produce top teams, and I like their odds of getting more than 6 in.
ACC is weaker than normal, but should be fine.
Big East and Big 12 are fine.
Pac-12 should finally be a little stronger than years past.  They're still 6th among power conferences in my book, but a lot closer to the top 5.
SEC might be the one in trouble.  3 bid season is in play if things break badly.

WCC is in real good position.  BYU has a real chance to make it 3 bids out of there.

I'm having a real tough time seeing an at-large bid from anyone outside the top 10 conferences.  UNI has a fighting chance, but that's about it.

The 1 line:  Gonzaga, Duke, Ohio St, Kansas
The 2 line:  Auburn, Butler, Louisville, Oregon
The 3 line:  San Diego St, Baylor, West Virginia, Maryland
The 4 line:  Villanova, Michigan St, Dayton, Memphis
The 5 line:  Michigan, Wichita St, Virginia, Arizona
The 6 line:  Florida St, Colorado, Kentucky, Creighton
The 7 line:  Penn St, Iowa, Stanford, Marquette
The 8 line:  Xavier, North Carolina, Washington, Arkansas
The 9 line:  St Mary's, Texas Tech, Oklahoma St, VCU
The 10 line:  Utah St, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Houston
The 11 line:  Virginia Tech, Northern Iowa, North Carolina St, Florida, St Louis
The 12 line:  BYU, Seton Hall, Liberty, UNC Greensboro, Yale,
The 13 line:  Vermont, Belmont, Akron, Louisiana Tech
The 14 line:  Stephen F Austin, New Mexico St, Delaware, Rider
The 15 line:  Wright St, Hawaii, Arkansas St, Eastern Washington
The 16 line:  North Dakota St, Colgate, Campbell, St Francis(PA), Texas Southern, Morgan St

Next 4 in:
Oklahoma
Houston
Virginia Tech
North Carolina St

Last 4 in:

Break it down!:

Pac-12 5
SEC 5
WCC 3
A-10 3
AAC 3
MWC 2

12/29 recap

West Virginia 67, Ohio St 59 - from what I see, goes down as a neutral site win.  Quality for WVU
Kansas 72, @Stanford 56 - true road wins are never trivial
@LSU 74, Liberty 57 - finally someone beat Liberty
Arkansas 71, @Indiana 64

Hartford 67, @Northwestern 66 - lol
Harvard 71, @Cal 63

12/28 recap

Signature wins:
@Kentucky 78, Louisville 70 (OT) - UK kinda needed a signature win, so here you go

what:
Wisconsin 68, @Tennessee 48 - I thought UT was better than this
Cal St-Fullerton 77, @UCLA 74

12/27 recap

There were literally 2 games this day, but my duty is for daily recaps!

Loyola(MD) and My St Mary's win non-con games at home.  That's it.

12/25 recap

Diamond Head:
Houston 75, Washington 71 - a mild upset, and Houston leaves with the one quality win available in this tournament
Georgia Tech 70, Hawaii 53
Boise St 72, UTEP 67
Ball St 61, Portland 46

12/23 recap

Diamond Head:
Washington 72, Hawaii 61
Houston 70, Georgia Tech 59 - the right two teams made the final here, probably
Boise St 85, Portland 69
UTEP 71, Ball St 70

12/22 recap

South Carolina 70, @Virginia 59 - such a weird loss for UVa.  The type that costs you a full seed line in March.  USC gets a magic elixir to be back in the at-large conversation
Yale 54, @Clemson 45 - hmmm
Xavier 67, @TCU 59 - quality road win here
Radford 73, Richmond 58 - so much for Richmond as a darkhorse contender in the A-10

Diamond Head:
Hawaii 67, UTEP 63
Georgia Tech 74, Boise St 60
Houston 81, Portland 56
Washington 85, Ball St 64 - a service hold day in this tournament for the most part, depending on your feelings of GT being bad or not

12/21 recap

Signature wins:
@Villanova 56, Kansas 55 - I do question the ability of the Big East to provide signature win chances for its teams outside of Nova, so this is a more important win than I'd usually suggest
Ohio St 71, Kentucky 65 - UK might be absorbing too many body blows to be a legitimate contender for the 1 line (and maybe the 2 line, but there's time)
Colorado 78, Dayton 76 (OT) - this is a good neutral site win that should hold up
St John's 70, Arizona 67 - another neutral site win that should hold up well

quality wins:
Butler 70, Purdue 61 - neutral site win, but Purdue might not be good
San Diego St 80, Utah 52 - neutral site win
Indiana 62, Notre Dame 60 - god, too many neutral site games today
Utah St 65, Florida 62
Creighton 67, @Arizona St 60

etc.:
West Virginia 75, @Youngstown St 64 - road wins are never trivial
Florida St 66, South Florida 60
@Wichita St 73, VCU 63
Harvard 88, @George Washington 75
Missouri 63, Illinois 56
@Oklahoma 53, UCF 52
@Providence 70, Texas 48 - boy this loss looks really dumb on paper
North Carolina 74, UCLA 64
Alabama 92, Belmont 72
Liberty 80, Akron 67 - will you just lose already Liberty
Minnesota 86, Oklahoma St 66
North Dakota 75, @Nebraska 74 - lol
Boston College 64, Cal 60
St Louis 66, Kansas St 63
@Texas A&M 64, Oregon St 49
@DePaul 83, Northwestern 78
USC 70, LSU 68
Iowa 77, Cincinnati 70
St Mary's 68, Nevada 63

12/20 recap

@Georgia 87, SMU 85 (OT)
Norfolk St 72, Bowling Green 67 (OT) - we're stretching if we're calling this the 2nd biggest game of the day.  Ok, let's shut it down here.

12/19 recap

quality wins:
@Seton Hall 62, Maryland 48
@Auburn 79, NC State 73 - I call both these wins short of signature as they're home wins.  Can't emphasize enough that most teams of quality will have a few of these.  (of course, Maryland is better than NCST by a bit)

I don't see much else worth highlighting.  Maybe Houston beating UTEP at home is notable.

12/18 recap

signature wins:
@Gonzaga 94, North Carolina 81 - uh wait, does this count as a signature win anymore?
Utah 69, @Kentucky 66 - and does THIS count?  Probably, yeah, but still.  Uninspired by UK so far, still don't trust Utah
East Tennessee St 74, @LSU 63 - I'll listen to an argument about ETSU's at-large hopes right now

quality wins:
@Cincinnati 78, Tennessee 66 - can't decide whether this is actually a bad loss for UT, or just a quality win for Cincy with no real harm to UT's resume
St Mary's 96, Arizona St 56 - said it plenty by now, but all these wins matter for St Mary's resume

miscellany:
Loyola(Chi) 78, Vanderbilt 70
DePaul 73, @Cleveland St 65 - go away, DePaul
Ball St 65, @Georgia Tech 47
UNC Greensboro 54, @Vermont 53 - this might hold up as a quad 1 win
Richmond 62, @Old Dominion 59 - road wins are never trivial
VCU 76, @Charleston 71 - yeah
Alabama 105, @Samford 87 - yeah
Utah St 76, South Florida 74 (OT) - near disaster for USU's resume

12/17 recap

Florida 83, Providence 51 - neutral site wins usually aren't trivial, but this one might be
@Creighton 83, Oklahoma 73 - this should hold up as a decent home win, and a road loss that isn't too damaging
Purdue 69, @Ohio 51 - road win
@Stanford 64, San Francisco 56 - USF isn't bad, so this is not a trivial result
UTEP 67, UC Irvine 61 - couple of notable mid-majors here
Miami 78, Temple 77

12/16 recap

Uh

I got nothing for you on this day.  Does UC Irvine beating Kent St on a neutral court count as notable?  Yeah, I think so.  Evansville lost a road game to Jacksonville St, that looks ugly.  That's all I got for this day.

12/15 recap

B1G:
@Minnesota 84, Ohio St 71 - road wins are going to be gold this year
@Nebraska 70, Purdue 56

non-con:
Wofford 68, @North Carolina 64 - I think Wofford has absorbed too many body blows to be serious contenders for an at-large bid, but still.  Woof, UNC
NC State 80, @UNC Greensboro 77 - this will go down as a quality win for NCSU, and a critical blow to fantasy at-large hopes for UNCG
Oklahoma St 61, @Houston 55 - road wins are never trivial
South Carolina 67, @Clemson 54

12/14 recap

signature wins:
Oregon 71, @Michigan 70 (OT) - signature road wins are worth a full seed line, I would guess
Gonzaga 84, @Arizona 80 - Gonzaga's looking really, really good for the 1 line out west
Memphis 51, @Tennessee 47 - signature road wins matter a lot

dumb losses:
@Rutgers 68, Seton Hall 48 - I don't care if it was a road game, it's still a dumb loss
Colgate 67, @Cinncinnati 66 - need to recalibrate my expectations for the AAC

stuff:
@Kentucky 67, Georgia Tech 53
Auburn 67, St Louis 61 - a better win than most would realize
Michigan St 72, Oakland 49 - creative accounting - this is a neutral site win
@Wake Forest 80, Xavier 78 - a modest upset
Mississippi St 67, Kansas St 61
@Georgetown 89, Syracuse 79
@Arkansas 98, Tulsa 79
@Penn St 73, Alabama 71
@Notre Dame 75, UCLA 61
@Wichita St 80, Oklahoma 75
@New Mexico 69, New Mexico St 62
@Arizona St 79, Georgia 59
Liberty 61, @Vanderbilt 56 - ok time to get serious about Liberty and at-large talk, I think
St Mary's 89, @Cal 77 - road wins are never trivial
BYU 68, Utah St 64 - that might hurt USU a bit.  At-large not a lock.  And it really, really helps BYU

12/13 recap

Colorado 56, Colorado St 48 - looks like a neutral site win

B1G:
@Indiana 96, Nebraska 90 (OT) - if you beat Nebraska in overtime, did you really win?

Really light night here.

12/12 recap

non-con:
Iowa 84, Iowa St 68 - goes down as a neutral site win
Northern Iowa 82, @Grand Canyon 58 - I'd just like to take this space to mention the travesty that is the Iowa state series.  ISU/Iowa used to play UNI/Drake yearly, and now they don't, and instead of just not doing it, they hided behind the guise of the yearly ISU/Iowa series.  Go to hell

There were only 6 games this night.  Rant over.

12/11 recap

B1G:
@Illinois 71, Michigan 62 - I think one adjustment we're all going to have to make:  most bubble teams will have a signature road win on the resume.  We'll have to adjust accordingly.  Bubble teams will need more than 1, or other resume features.  One win won't be enough.  Seeing an abundance of these wins already
@Rutgers 72, Wisconsin 65 - I mean, if Rutgers is getting one, EVERYONE is getting one

non-con:
Yale 83, @UMass 80
@South Carolina 90, UNC Asheville 85 (OT) - just a reminder that USC isn't good
@Missouri St 75, Arkansas St 53
@Tulsa 69, Boise St 56

12/10 recap

Signature wins:
Texas Tech 70, Louisville 57 - goes down as a signature win on a neutral site
@Penn St 76, Maryland 69 - wait, do we have to take Penn St seriously now?
@Baylor 53, Butler 52 - should hold up as a signature win even it it was at home.  Big 12 now really looking good at the top
Northern Iowa 79, @Colorado 76 - and now UNI has a signature win that they can build an at-large resume around
Indiana 57, UConn 54

12/9 recap

@Iowa 72, Minnesota 52

...there were 4 games this day.  What a waste of a day.

12/8 recap

ACC:
@Virginia 56, North Carolina 47
@Florida St 72, Clemson 53

B1G:
@Michigan St 77, Rutgers 65
@Purdue 58, Northwestern 44

signature non-con wins:
Gonzaga 83, @Washington 76 - I have a feeling we'll spend the entire season giving Gonzaga the 1 seed out west again.  With this road win in hand, not sure I see how they fail to get there eventually
@Iowa St 76, Seton Hall 66
Dayton 78, St Mary's 68 - there's a neutral site win, in a game of 2 teams that desperately needed it to avoid having to deal with the bubble in a few months

other non-con:
Houston 76, @South Carolina 56
St Louis 86, Tulane 62 - should end up being a decent neutral site win
Wichita St 80, @Oklahoma St 61 - road wins, etc etc
Texas 60, Texas A&M 50
Buffalo 74, @DePaul 69 - FINALLY someone puts an end to this DePaul nonsense
Liberty 70, Grand Canyon 61 - wait, Liberty is undefeated?

12/7 recap

After a slight interruption in coverage, we're back.  I expect to be daily by March, but due to personal reasons, day-to-day availability is spotty at the moment. 

So now we're running recaps from 2 weeks ago.  This might actually be interesting to filter through.



B1G:
@Maryland 59, Illinois 58 - top 4 seeds don't get taken to the brink by teams like Illinois
@Ohio St 106, Penn St 74
@Wisconsin 84, Indiana 64 - I think we're going to be learning that road wins in the B1G are basically impossible

ACC:
Syracuse 97, @Georgia Tech 63
Boston College 73, @Notre Dame 72
NC State 91, @Wake Forest 82

other conference play:
@Utah St 77, Fresno St 70 (OT) - good lord that was almost a disaster
New Mexico 79, @Wyoming 65

quality non-con wins:
@Kansas 72, Colorado 58 - the non-con home win that should hold up pretty well
@Baylor 63, Arizona 58 - ditto.  Big 12 looking good here
@Butler 76, Florida 62 - ditto
@Xavier 73, Cincinnati 66
Marquette 73, @Kansas St 65 - not sure KSU is any good, but still, road wins
Georgetown 91, @SMU 74

other notable non-con results:
Memphis 65, @UAB 57 - road wins are never trivial
Villanova 78, @St Joseph's 66 - well, this one might be trivial
@St John's 70, West Virginia 68
@Creighton 95, Nebraska 76
Washington St 63, New Mexico St 54
Arkansas St 66, @Tulsa 63 - this raised an eyebrow of mine
@Santa Clara 71, Cal 52 - another eyebrow raised.  Cal probably isn't any good, but still, these holds at home matter to the WCC
Missouri 64, @Temple 54
@North Dakota St 78, East Tennessee St 68

12/6 recap

ACC:
@Louisville 64, Pitt 46
Duke 77, @Virginia Tech 63

B1G:
@Michigan 103, Iowa 91

non-con:
@Rhode Island 75, Providence 61
@Alabama 78, Stephen F Austin 68
USC 80, @TCU 78

12/5 recap

@Auburn 81, Furman 78 (OT) - a close shave.  Furman looks good again, albeit without the at-large resume punch they had last year
Louisiana Tech 74, @Mississippi St 67 - yeesh
Oklahoma 82, @North Texas 80 - even bad road wins are road wins

12/4 recap

B1G/ACC:
Maryland 72, Notre Dame 51
@Purdue 69, Virginia 40 - I mean, what the hell, Virginia?  Do something on offense
Ohio St 74, @North Carolina 49 - that's a signature road win with a capital everything
@Georgia Tech 73, Nebraska 56
@NC State 69, Wisconsin 54
@Penn St 76, Wake Forest 54

elsewhere:
Utah St 71, @San Jose St 59 - your signal that conference play is starting across the country.  SDSU and USU hold serve on night 1
@Utah 102, BYU 95 (OT) - BYU has probably absorbed too many losses to be relevant
Georgetown 81, @Oklahoma St 74 - road wins are never trivial
@San Francisco 76, Cal 64 - and this is why
@DePaul 65, Texas Tech 60 (OT) - we're in an emergency now.  DePaul still hasn't lost and this is a problem

12/3 recap

B1G/ACC:
@Louisville 58, Michigan 43 - UL starting to build up some currency towards ensuring a 1 seed if they slip up a bit in the ACC.  Meanwhile, Michigan has done plenty already so this doesn't hurt at all
Duke 87, @Michigan St 75 - true road wins for Duke in the non-con are a rare beast.  Because they never play them to begin with
@Indiana 80, Florida St 64 - Indiana needed some resume heft; this will count
Northwestern 82, @Boston College 64 - in spirit, this counts as a B1G/ACC game just as much as the other games
Iowa 68, @Syracuse 54
@Pitt 71, Rutgers 60


@Memphis 71, Bradley 56
Butler 67, @Ole Miss 58
Richmond 80, @Hampton 63 - I'm not sure why Richmond is playing this road game, but still, it's a road win
@Cincinnati 82, Vermont 73
@TCU 81, Illinois St 69
Arizona St 71, @San Francisco 67

12/2 recap

B1G ACC Challenge:  hey it's that time of year again where two big conferences schedule against each other in an effort to shut out other conferences from quality games, hiding behind the guise of a legitimate charity!

Miami 81, @Illinois 79
@Minnesota 78, Clemson 60


Nothing else of note here.

12/1 recap

Orlando Invl:
Maryland 84, Marquette 63 - Maryland quietly building a resume
USC 77, Harvard 62 - Harvard schedule ambitiously and have probably taken a body blow or two too many
Temple 66, Davidson 53
Fairfield 67, Texas A&M 62 - good lord A&M is bad

DePaul 73, @Minnesota 68 - oh lord DePaul might actually be good for real
@LSU 73, Missouri St 58

11/28 recap

San Diego St 83, Creighton 62

Wake Forest 65, Charleston 56 - wincing a bit, that was a real chance for the CAA to get some street cred
Penn 68, UCF 67

Barclays Center Classic:
Memphis 83, NC State 78 - matters more for Memphis than it would for most teams.  Remember, AAC

11/27 recap

Maui:
Kansas 90, Dayton 84 (OT) - rough for Dayton:  Georgia win won't move the needle; will the Va Tech win do that?
BYU 90, Virginia Tech 77 - BYU gets a couple decent wins, not sure it's enough to move the needle but it's a lot better than nothing.  Heck, they leave with better resume builders than Dayton, as they beat UCLA who is better than Georgia
Michigan St 75, UCLA 62
Georgia 80, Chaminade 77

Battle 4 Atlantis:
North Carolina 76, Alabama 67
Gonzaga 94, Southern Miss 69 - wait, how did Southern Miss get invited to this rave?
Oregon 71, Seton Hall 69 - man, that's a brutal draw.  One of these teams had to go to the losers' bracket?  That's a resume killer
Michigan 83, Iowa St 76

Preseason NIT:
Ole Miss 74, Penn St 72
Oklahoma St 86, Syracuse 72 - I'm not particularly excited about any of these 4 teams

Cancun:
West Virginia 75, Wichita St 63 - WVU gets the two neutral site wins here
Northern Iowa 78, South Carolina 72

LaSalle 81, South Alabama 76 (OT)
Drake 63, Murray St 53

St Louis 64, @Boston College 54 - true road wins matter

11/26 recap

Maui:
Kansas 71, BYU 56
Dayton 89, Virginia Tech 62 - VT and Georgia aren't the most impactful wins for Dayton, really.  But they get Kansas now
Michigan St 93, Georgia 85
UCLA 74, Chaminade 48

HOF Classic:
Oklahoma 77, Missouri 66
Butler 68, Stanford 67 - Butler gets the two neutral site wins here

@DePaul 88, Central Michigan 75 - DePaul is undefeated.  I'm so confused
Stephen F Austin 85, @Duke 83 - lol

11/25 recap

Maui:
Virginia Tech 71, Michigan St 66 - whoa.  Significant all around.  Va Tech will be swimming around in signature win chances in the ACC...so this helps.  It's one less one they gotta get in the ACC.  Biggest news might be trapping MSU on the loser's side of the bracket and hurting their SoS a bit.  Also depriving other teams of a signature win chance against them
Dayton 80, Georgia 61 - and it's Dayton who gets hurt by the upset the most
Kansas 93, Chaminade 63
BYU 78, UCLA 63

HOF Classic:
Butler 63, Missouri 52
Stanford 73, Oklahoma 54

Legends Classic:
Auburn 84, New Mexico 59
Richmond 62, Wisconsin 52 - Richmond is better than usual, and Wisky is worse than usual.  Gotta remember that

Cayman Islands Classic:
New Mexico St 78, Colorado St 70 (OT)
South Florida 66, Loyola(Chi) 55
George Mason 60, Old Dominion 53
Nebraska 82, Washington St 71 - kind of funny the two P5 schools play each other early in this one.  Some good mid-major names in this tourney, ODU and Loyola lose reasonable chances at resume-enhancers here

Gulf Coast Showcase:
South Alabama 74, Northeastern 62
Miami(OH) 67, Drake 59
Wright St 72, Weber St 57
La Salle 75, Murray St 64 - lots of fun mid-majors in this one.  I like this tourney

Paradise Jam:
Grand Canyon 68, Illinois St 63
Western Kentucky 69, Fordham 64
Cincinnati 81, Valparaiso 77 (OT)
Nevada 77, Bowling Green 62 - dammit BGU one day after I was on your bandwagon

Fort Meyers:
Pitt 63, Kansas St 59
Northwestern 78, Bradley 51

elsewhere:

Arkansas 62, @Georgia Tech 61 (OT)

11/24 recap

Paradise Jam:
Nevada 84, Valparaiso 59
Bowling Green 91, Cincinnati 84 (OT) - ok, this is one that made me notice.  Let's start up the dream of a MAC at-large bid again!

Myrtle Beach:
Baylor 87, Villanova 78 - shouldn't be a game that will alter the trajectory of either team significantly....probably just a seed line game
Mississippi St 81, Coastal Carolina - well this tourney didn't do much for anyone's resume after all, IMO.  We know Baylor/Nova will be fine, and everyone else is meh
Ohio 75, Middle Tennessee 63
Tulane 65, Utah 61

MGM Resorts Main Event:
Colorado 56, Wyoming 41
