This season 1&2 seeds are probably interchangeable.

The Pac 12 is 6th, behind the MWC.  That is why UCLA is a 2.  Weak conference, but you are definitely the top #2 seed (#5 overall) and in line to move up if someone falters. 

By what metric is the PAC behind the MWC?  Bracketology has 4 Pac teams in and 3 MWC teams.

BUT, UCLA is #4 in NET.  Would that not translate to a #1 seed in your world?

[Rickylovesweed 14,317]

I think 3 #1 seeds are locked up. Houston, Alabama, and Kansas are getting 1s. Kansas is #6 in NET but they're getting a 1 with 15 Q1 wins. 

The next 1 seed will be Purdue, UCLA, Baylor, or Texas. My bet is Purdue playing in the 2nd best conference and with 9 Q1 wins.

No. #5 NET and winning the #2 NET conference > #4 NET and winning the #6 NET conference, in my world. Purdue had a harder road to winning a better conference  

[Rickylovesweed 14,317]

UCLA is really not worthy of a 1 seed compared to the other teams mentioned:

Q1 wins-

Baylor 11

Texas 10

Purdue 9

UCLA 7

Strength of schedule-

Baylor 2

Texas 20

Purdue 35

UCLA 55

The last #1 seed should really go to Texas or Baylor but it probably won't happen because they will be too influenced by wins/losses.

I was just coming to post that. That's fucking awesome.

Well I certainly am smart enough not to throw stones here

Vandy about 2.6 away from beating UK in Rupp, Stackhouse has done a nice job with Vandy this season. 

And they held.on.

Pitt laid a huge egg tonight at Notre Dame as everyone was slobbering over Brey’s final home game. Trailed by about 20 with five minutes to go, cut it to five, lost by seven.  Fuck.

Win or lose tonight, Purdue is a fraud. A really good sideshow attraction in the middle but limited elsewhere.

They'll be lucky to get out of the first weekend.

What did the Iowa state kid say that got him kicked off the team?

They'll just end up matched with Texas in the S16 and Edey will go off for 30 and 30 against our weak ass front line

CBI considering inviting Detroit Mercy and giving Antoine Davis shot at Pete Maravich record | Sporting News

May as well.  215 in NET is higher than some of the teams who went to the CBI last year.

They were a 7 in the most recent Lundari Bracketology 

Currenly 26th in NET but that SOS (55) and NCSOS (187) is laughable and then have 2 Q4 losses

4pt game and kentucky getting all the early calls...  This is an athletic display of talent -- already 8 dunks.

2nd half may be a WAR

Seems like teams in our conference have issues with winning back to back games….except Kansas…..going on the road is extremely tough to win….of course, there are exceptions.

Now a technical called on kentucky for jawing after scoring...  need Arky to get this game close again and watch the fun.

[Prepuce of Doom 21,073]

I'm glad that the game won't be decided based on that dude getting called for the foul on the three point attempt with 2 seconds left.

He should’ve purposefully missed the last ft once they had the lead. TTU goes into panic mode with 2.2 seconds when they get the rebound.

Being able to set up an in bound play with 2.2 is way too much time

Yeah, for a conference winner to have to rind out 3 or 4 wins to win the conference tournament is lame.  
 

Bracketology is all kind of fucked up.  UCLA has 4 losses, all to projected tournament teams, and is a projected 2 seed.  Whatever.  I guess I’d rather be a 2 seed in the west than a one seed another region.

Your conference is the shittiest it has ever been. UCLA would have 8 or 9 losses in the Big 12.
