And then with Michigan St at 12 and a head-to-head result in hand, they go to #12.<br /><br />Just so I explain myself so it doesn't look like I'm abandoning my UK takes when I move them back up a line.<br /><br />All of a sudden the 5 line got competitive. We have all those B1G teams, and then Butler won on the road and WVU picked up a signature win. Colorado's loss wasn't that bad, but it's going to be worth 6 or 7 spots just because it seems like everyone else right behind them picked up resume enhancers.<br /><br />Xavier might not actually lose ground tonight. Given the dump Texas took, that cancels out the Utah St bid poach. I don't see other teams behind them moving up.<br /><br />I'm wondering about Big East seeds. I think SHU and Nova are 2-liners. And hilariously enough, Louisville's loss may cost Duke. Now that FSU doesn't have to share the regular season title, I think that helps them a bit in the committee room. Still not gonna pull the trigger yet, but I'm getting closer.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633238389653909775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824504650575769129.post-26331342149348233112020-03-07T17:35:43.280-08:002020-03-07T17:35:43.280-08:00Utah State in Northern Iowa outUtah State in Northern Iowa outHenryMutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571728489999035612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824504650575769129.post-2796459665245497182020-03-07T17:34:57.486-08:002020-03-07T17:34:57.486-08:00You still have Colorado on the 5 line.........as t...You still have Colorado on the 5 line.........as the top 5 seed.......yikes manHenryMutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571728489999035612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824504650575769129.post-40286420388398378532020-03-07T15:54:10.104-08:002020-03-07T15:54:10.104-08:00Duke will be the #4 seed in the ACC tournament.......Duke will be the #4 seed in the ACC tournament......losers of 3 of their last 5 games before today.......only 5 quad 1 wins with 2 of them being non tourney teams in Syracuse and Georgia Tech.

Kentucky down 18 in the 2nd half with no Hagans and Quickley fouling out with 9 mins left come back to shock Florida 71-70 as their shot at the buzzer bounces not once but twice and barely falls off the rim for the Kentucky win.HenryMutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571728489999035612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824504650575769129.post-51281219666215694852020-03-07T10:47:17.215-08:002020-03-07T10:47:17.215-08:00The computers are going to save MSU's seed.
T...The computers are going to save MSU's seed.<br /><br />The good news for Kentucky is I think their floor is 4 no matter what. There's a bit of a gap between them and the gaggle I mentioned. A couple of those teams may win a conference tourney and jump up, though.<br /><br />One thing about Xavier - bad loss avoidance. That matters. But quality wins. Xavier has 2 over my tournament field: @SHU and home to Providence. They're 2-10 in such games. When you have that many chances, you need to cash in more than 1 signature win, IMO. They beat everyone they're supposed to, but it's more important to win big games (when you have as many opportunities as they've had).<br /><br />I'd much rather grab a UCLA with a weirder resume but sweeps of Colorado and Arizona, or a mid-major who hasn't had the opportunities that Xavier had.<br /><br />Now that I look at it, swapping out Wichita St for Xavier might make some sense.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633238389653909775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824504650575769129.post-7995099697710970292020-03-07T10:00:46.317-08:002020-03-07T10:00:46.317-08:00Northern Iowa over Xavier ?

Hagans and Cal get into a fight in the loss vs Tennessee and now Hagans is taking today off for "personal reasons". Cal don't want to throw him under the bus but this is a clear suspension. No way Hagans would just not play today then be back for the SEC tournament which is what it sounds like.<br /><br />This team was cruising to a 2 seed and now falling apart.HenryMutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571728489999035612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824504650575769129.post-76765118714086664232020-03-07T09:13:20.077-08:002020-03-07T09:13:20.077-08:00Ohio State is almost for sure going to lose at Mic...Ohio State is almost for sure going to lose at Michigan State. So Michigan State goes on a 2 game run and wins 2 huge road games and goes from a 9 loss 5/6 seed to a 3 seed in 2 games. Amazing how that works. All those losses don't even matter.HenryMutohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571728489999035612noreply@blogger.com
