Agreed, the 3 seeds in current bracketology suggests (Auburn, Creighton, ILLINI, Baylor) Creighton and now Baylor (4-4, last 8 games) with the way they finished are the suspect ones imo. I hope we get on the South with the way it looks now though.

Well then I am adjusting my prediction ILLINI 88-Wisky 83....LOL, not changing anything. Need to make Wisky crawl out of this C-Game. Hit early, and often ILLINI!!!

ILLINI played to the level of Wisky in the 1st half. Didn't capitalize with key players in foul trouble, but they always seem to be a 2nd half team (mostly by necessity so far), so pour it on early in the 2nd...right on pace for that 88-83 win!!

He very well may have....only thing that stops him, is the open floor drives won't be against average players, and he won't get all the calls either. That said, NBA doesn't play defense, so maybe?

Either way good for TSJ, I just hope the other crap gets sorted for the young man.

I think if he does this in the NCAA tournament and we make a run, he for sure will. Lots of eyes will be watching him dominate.

2. I like our bracket position overall. If we both get there Iowa State is a sold S16 game

3. I don't know how you leave Indy State out. A mid major with computer metrics that high should be a lock. It's weird to tell schools like that they didn't take care of business and then usher in some team like Virginia or even MSU.

I heard Lunardi discuss your third point on Kornheiser's podcast. He said the thing he leaned over time, after making many mistakes over the years, is that the committee will always take a P5 team over a mid-major in those circumstances.

They did go 17-3 in that league. I've heard many say that in most other years, they were in. The ISU loss hurt, but what hurts the most is that non con and being in a league with Valpo, UIC and Evansville.

You called it, Indiana State was definitely more deserving. Great call by the committee.
