🏀 KuBuckets Archive

UK Remaining Schedule: @ Florida, Auburn, Vandy, @ Arkansas.

Seems like Kentucky might have "found it" but I also think they just matchup well against Tennessee. Plenty of time for them to screw it up, but they've played themselves onto the good side of the bubble. 80% chance they are in at this point.

UNC Remaining Schedule: @ ND, UVA, @ FSU, Duke

UNC has to win out, and probably make it to the ACC Tournament championship to have a shot. 5% chance UNC makes it.

Wisconsin Remaining Schedule: Iowa, @ Mich, Pudue, @ Minn

I really don't get the Wisconsin love from the Bracketology guys. Not really any great wins aside from Marquette. 15-11 should not get you in the tournament. The Nebraska loss and the Rutgers loss should have them out imo. 10% chance they get it. I think they drop 3 more games and you can't have a 14-loss at large.

Duke Remaining Schedule: Louisville, VT, NC State, @ UNC

They are in. And probably as an 8 or 9 seed. Would require an epic collapse to see them out. I'll be rooting for it tonight at 6PM lol.

WVU Remaining Schedule: OSU, @ KU, @ ISU, KSU

I think WVU should be out. 15-12 is just not a tournament resume. They have no good non-con wins. They are 4-10 in league play. I do not understand them being a "last 4 byes" at the moment. Should be out. I think ultimately they need to win 2 of the final 4 and maybe 2 more in the conference tournament to get in.

Happy to discuss any of the other teams on the bubble.

The only team I feel strongly that should be in that isn't "in" is Charleston.

One bad loss all season. Only 3 total. I really think they deserve an at-large if they don't win their conference tournament.

What about Texas Tech? People are like how can 4-10 in conference be on bubble, but they've got some decent wins and are hot right now.

I think possibly that WV is right now playing their way out of the tourney- -now is not the time to struggle , & as tough as the Big 12 is night in - -night out , gonna be hard to get it turned around.

You look at Oklahoma makes no sense but just goes to show what this league is like. - -Here is Oklahoma with a 3-11 league record and yet they just knock the dog doo out of Alabama - & take Texas into overtime at Texas. - -Texas Tech ?- -$-10 - -look what they have done what beaten 3 top twnety or twwo top twent five in a row now ? - -Crazy - just gonna be tough for Wv to get this turned around

@wissox

Yep 3 wins with their big goon back at Center so the committee will be forced to judge them with a few lenses, the team before him and the team after. They have 3 winnable games with the KU one the only real longshot. 7-11 going into the Big-12 tourney playing for their life, yeah lot's to play out here

ESPN putting UNC on the first four out is nothing but fabricated bullcrap. There is no way this team is even close to a tournament team. Lunardi is one of the worst rated bracket predictors out there and this shows why.

Question: Who thinks that playing KC isn’t necessarily a great thing? Obviously the Oregon game didn’t go out way in 2017. I honestly wonder if it doesn’t add pressure. We all remember getting jobbed by the committee in 2007 playing as a 1 seed in the elite 8 vs a 2 seed in their home state in UCLA. I honestly don’t know that I care as long as we get on the one line. Personally I get anxiety when people talk about us winning the title. Last season most didn’t have us a threat in the slightest. Many had us as the first 1 seed out. In 2008 everyone was insanely high on UNC. I feel like 2010, 2013 and 2017 years everyone was so high on us we ducked out early.

@Kcmatt7

Bravo on thread title! A+

Kentucky looking better and should be in unless they totally collapse.

Duke is in.

UNC... I can't believe their year. If I was a UNC fan I would want an investigation. Something stinking... worse than dead fish. How do you take a roster like that and puke the year out?

I think WVU has to win 2 of their remaining games.

Wisconsin... I'm now avoiding their games because I can't afford to pull out more hair!

@drgnslayr I Think it’s crazy UNC is in the first 4 out.

They shouldn't be in the conversation for anything -- like 0-9 in quad one games

@jayballer67 agreed should be like 12th team out

A lot of talk about Tech on the bubble, but I don't see it. No good wins in the non-con. Tbh, WVU probably shouldn't get in either. But at least they have wins against Florida and Pitt in the non-con.

Just hard for me to believe a 5-10 conference team should be in the field.

@Kcmatt7 Noncon hurts them so much. Ohio State loss is terrible. Mostly played horrible competition.

They had a lot of injuries too. Those guys are healed and they gave us a tough game! But.... AFH!

@Crimsonorblue22 I agree, they will be healthy and wanting to get revenge against Kev again so we better be ready for that one. Saturday unless Stephenson goes nuts we should spank them but you can’t over look anyone.

So everyone os saying that Dook and Kentucky are locks at this point and UNC would be in as of right now. UNC will probably get in based on name and their run last season. I personally think they should need at least 3 more wins. I mean a 1-9 quad 1 win team should be in trouble.

Joey Brackets still doesn't have them in

@jayballer67 he hadn’t updated since they beat Virginia

Will NCAA find a way to get UNC in after their win over VA?

Is that a rhetorical question... ;)

KSU has worked their way up to a 2 seed according to bracketville. Would be in Des Moines with KU. Going to be a HOT ticket if that holds up.

B12 would have 4 of the top 8 seeds in this bracket.

I fully expect to get NC as an 8/9 in our bracket

UNC is in Dayton in the play in game #11 on Bracket Matrix.

Oops...take that back. They are ranked below the play in game on the pecking order.

I think I'm okay with that lol.
