Rooting guide 3/2

[Pitt666]

It’s good to be a part of the conversation in early March. None of this matters if Pitt doesn’t win today. Ideally they cover. Ideally they turn it up and win by double digits, but this isn’t your typically BC team and they could lose today if looking ahead.

Latest positioning:

And games of interest for today. Ideally we want:
Florida over @SC
GT over FSU - GT needs to move back up to Q2
Tulane over @FAU
Nova vs. Providence - not sure what is better at this point
Arizona over Oregon
Binghamton over UNH
NCST over UNC - would help move back to Q1
Auburn over MissSt
Charlotte over USF
Wyoming over @CSU
Wake over @VT
NW over Iowa
Duke over Virginia
WVU over Texas Tech - could move to Q2
Georgia over Texas A&M
Cincy over KSU
Boise over UNM
Mizz over Ole Miss - I’d take this win over all other possibilities today
Cal over @Utah
St . Mary’s over Gonzaga

I’d say Villanova to win today and then lose out. You can’t put a team that is 17-15 in the tournament. Providence to finish 18-14 or 19-13 and they are on the outs.

Well we are a 1 or 1-1/2 point favorite right now depending on where you look, so it's going to be pretty hard to win the game and not cover!

By the way, this is the second day in a row that we moved up without playing and without any of the teams around us on his bubble playing. Maybe if we just cancel the rest of the season we'll move right into the tournament!

Doesn’t that tell you all you need to know about his predictions? His dart board is being kind to Pitt.

It is far and away Missouri’s best chance to avoid the hard to achieve winless conference record. They are only a 1.5 point home dogs today and figure to put up a fight in a winnable matchup for them.

Yeah, lunardi would be ignored if he didn't have the espn gig. Glad he helped to create the bracketology hype but he is really past his prime for this.

 

[Pitt666]

Best result so far was GT with a very nice 9 pt win over FSU. GT was 1.5 pt dogs and 139 in NET. If they move up to 135, Pitt’s road win moves up from Q3 to Q2.

We could really use a Missouri win. It would be a massive blow to Ole Miss and keeps them in Quad 3 for us.

 

[Pitt666]

Oregon lost as expected
Binghamton blows out UNH for Pitts OOC SOS

 

[buckage]

SMU with a bad loss today

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

FAU won a close home game against a garbage team. If they lose one of their last two, they better have to at least make their conference tournament championship to get in.

 

[Elsalvador]

Mizzou sucks

If they lose one of their last two they are in trouble.

 

[Pitt666]

Mizzou sucks

At least they only lost by 6. Could have dropped them to q4 if they had lost by 20 plus like at halftime. At least KSU lost.

 

[BFo8]

If they lose one of their last two they are in trouble.

It will be a shame if USF goes 17-1 in league play and doesn’t get in. They started slow in the OOC but have been one of the best stories in college basketball ever since.

 

[BFo8]

Penn St could’ve given Minnesota a really bad loss but instead blew a 23 point lead

 

[Elsalvador]

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Iowa beating a Northwestern team missing one of its best players sucks. And it was a road game, to boot.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

If they lose one of their last two they are in trouble.

They are running off November/December fumes. Such an advantage if you're an experienced team that plays in a weak conference. Get a few impressive wins early and then coast.
