@flyingillini64 @Recru1t1ng_Guru @deebrown11 I’m not an Illini fan by any means, but it is a shame. Stupid libs ruin everything

@Recru1t1ng_Guru @deebrown11 I really miss the war chant. Idiotic that they stopped plying it 🤬

War chant playing & Gene Honda on the PA. The '05 Final Four intros go incredibly hard...get me to Saturday #illini

@drewking0222_ @PowerMizzoucom Really getting a valuable college experience, I’m sure - full of educational opportunities that will benefit him the rest of his life. Not.

@CoachBKirk @TheFieldOf68 Agree Mizzou’s Q1 wins are 4, 16, 20, 27, 42. NC St Q1 wins are 24, 36, 37, 66, 67.

@TheFieldOf68 Mizzou should be a 10 seed over NC St. Mizzou has better WAB and doesn't have a Q3/4 loss like NC St

Our FINAL bracket projection heading into Selection Sunday! 👀 Fielding The 68 will be LIVE tomorrow at 5:30pm ET to kick off our Bracket Breakdown Marathon! 🔥

@BracketDom @CBKReport What is driving force behind Miami, NC State, and Santa Clara above Missouri?

Seed list heading into a stacked Saturday slate full of semis and finals! Several areas very close, low 7s-high 9s for example, plus the last few teams in (crucial if there’s a bid thief). Questions? Ask away! Thanks again to @CBKReport for making my list such a great graphic.

@DelphiBrackets Does Missouri get grace for playing all non-con minus two starters? Or committee not evaluating loss to Bama with ineligible player?

SMU with thier injury situation makes the final two spots a tricky decision. Believe they may be full strength for tourney but went 1-4 down the stretch without. If there is a bid thief. I believe SMU may be the team left out. Then its Oklahoma vs Texas for last spot

@kerrancejames Let’s say there’s 3 bid steals - how may non-locks is there room for?

(I do think all of the “Good Shape” teams are basically locks, though. I’m just very cautious about newly crowning anyone a lock at the peak of bid thief season.)

Just realized I’ve been updating this and never tweeting it. Aside from Ohio State to lock, Santa Clara to good shape and Miami-OH dropping to bubble, not a whole lot has changed since Monday, aside from tickets punched.

@JRoseWx @GrahamDoeren 7 wins in the top 50, NC State has 3 Also higher in WAB (which whatever it actually is was the top committee metric last year)

@GrahamDoeren So NC State moves down after a close loss to a top 10 team? Yeah, they’re comfortably in. Way better everything than Mizzou and Miami (OH).

New Mexico handles San Jose State. Here's where the bubble is going to close after tonight. Still like Missouri and Miami's chances to get in despite tough losses today. Neither are safe, though, and both are strong candidates for Dayton.

@BracketNky please, so I can sleep tonight. Is Missouri ahead or behind the following? Santa Clara NC State SMU Texas Miami OH VCU (as of now) Been sweating this bubble for months. All my hair is falling out. I just want in the dance.

@statefansnation @bigunderdogblog I’m happy with this bracket obviously, but I’m wondering why as well. Maybe it’s this? Mizzou’s Q1 wins are 4, 16, 20, 27, 42. NC St Q1 wins are 24, 36, 37, 66, 67.

* NC State ranks higher on every predictive metric — NET, KenPom, BPI, T-Rank all favor the Pack. * Missouri ranks higher on the inclusion metrics the committee actually uses — SOR, WAB, and Res Avg. * NC State played a dramatically harder non-conference schedule — OOC SOS 81 vs. 214. Inarguable. * Both teams have comparable Q1 records against different quality opponents.

Updated NCAA Tournament Seed List: Friendly reminder: There are typically at least two bid thieves every year (looking at you Atlantic 10, Mountain West & MAC). The last 4 in are not safe...at all. Last 4 IN: Texas, VCU, SMU & Auburn First 5 OUT: New Mexico, Oklahoma, SDSU, Stanford & Florida State To relieve some stress for fans of teams below. Ohio State, Iowa, UCF, TCU = 🔒 big-underdog.com

@bigunderdogblog As a Missouri backer, I like this. But what metrics/data might you be prioritizing vs other bracketologists that have Missouri on the 11 line or in Dayton?

@MVCHoopsCentral Geographically central, natural rival with SIU, would be one of the largest schools by enrollment, would bring a good amount of fans to Arch Madness

@LlortLouis Haven’t heard discussions about SIUE before. What about them is enticing to you for them to join the valley?

Right now the MVC has 11 Men’s Basketball members. What should the conference do? If you think we should add teams, let me know in the replies who we should add. #ValleyRunsDeep

@2ndChancePoints Is Missouri in no matter what? Just a Dayton risk with a loss to UK?

If no one is gonna win on the bubble, I think I gotta just lock up Ohio State and Texas A&M. How could they possibly get passed by enough teams

@Big12Conference @Phillips66Gas I have not watched a second of AZ State women’s ball all year - but I do enjoy the Twitter clips because…well ya know

"If you're going to go play in the most competitive tournament in the country, you want the most competitive teams and that's Arizona State." #Big12WBB | @Phillips66Gas

@MVCHoopsCentral I’m just a neutral observer from STL. Insane I can’t find a solo ticket under $50 and the arena will be 60% empty

No where near enough UIC fans and UNI fans. Your team is in the championship people. 1 game away from March Madness. GET IN YOUR CAR, AND GET DOWN HERE. #ArchMadness

@RoccoMiller8 Is Missouri safe even if losing out? Home vs Arky & first game in Nashville?

The season is likely on the line this weekend for the following Bubble hopefuls: Incredible that scheduling fell with so many Bubble teams ending with a road game or a blockbuster home game in Oklahoma State's case. Quality Road wins move mountains on the bubble. #BubbleTalk

@martinkilcoyne2 @TMASTL @Jackson_Burkett @101espn Does that badge say “Radio-TV Talent”? That’s a stretch

Oli Marmol joins ⁦@TMASTL⁩ now. The opening act was ⁦@Jackson_Burkett⁩ doing some material. ⁦@101espn⁩ #StlCards

@ShowMeZou OU sits at 74 - as of right now that’s also a road Q1 game.

It’s got to have it time for Mizzou Hoops. Need to go 6-2 in these games to lock a berth imo and it ain’t gonna be easy. Can’t lose any home games and have to steal a couple on the road.

@eagle_ed11 @WestPineBills The coach is one thing. The returning contributors are going to have to turn down a 2-3x NIL pay increase in the open market from Power 5 too

@WestPineBills Shertz came from nothing. He isn’t going take any job old for a check. SLU has every opportunity to keep him.

Not going to lie: it does suck having fans that are miserable with their own program tweet incessantly about how SLU is poor and have no shot at keeping our coach.
