Neither am I.
Their margin of victory is very low.
Margin for error is very low.
Other than Davis they are average.

I'm not sure any of the 5-9 seeds can win 4 straight, but any of the 1-4 seeds is capable of losing their 1st game.

Well, with a couple league games to go it looks like the chance of any BT team making FF is very doubtful.
Some competitive Top 15-25 teams with flaws that will likely show up over a needed four game run to the FF.

Oddly- I see Iowa as maybe a darkhorse to win three games. They are actually playing some better defense this year, Fran is actually coaching,and have they several guys who can support Murray.
Maybe Purdue, or Wisconsin, or Illinois if things go really well for three games.

Wisconsin getting improvement out of Hepburn and their bigmen so they could win a couple games for sure.

Nobody really deserves more than a 4 seed, but the BT tourney champ might get a 2 or a 3.

Will be very interesting to see how we handle Iowa at home.

Well the ACC and PAC are plain bad top to bottom…Big East similar to PAC top heavy…SEC and Big 12 are the best…you’ll find a couple big ten teams on the 2 or 3 line…we can still get there if we run the table or make champ game…

According to latest:

Purdue has easiest bracket chanced I think...Ohio St won't make it with no legit B1G in the middle....Illinois loses to Arkansas 2nd Rd....Iowa/Kentucky would be good to see...Wisky could do something IF they don't play Texas Tech, so no we have no one in the Final Four that I see this year?

Maybe it's just over familiarity but, I don't see a BIG team getting to the elite 8.  All these teams have significant flaws.  This is painful for me as I have to listen to what the PAC did last year (at least for now).  Oh, and Fuck Iowa!

If Illinois ends up in this bracket spot, in Philly, they could get to the final four imo.

Three pretty good teams in USC, Seton Hall, and Murray State at 7-9 seeds.

I think that only holds if they win BTT.
But who knows. The BT highest seed is up for grabs.

I would like to get off the 4 line TBH.
Get to a 3 to avoid the 1 seed in S16 game.

AFAIK the committee doesn't use the B1G tournament championship for seeding since it finishes at the last hour right before the selection Sunday show
