Saturday Sweet 16 Bracket Reveal

[stever20]

So with all but tonight's Creighton/DePaul and tomorrow night's Butler/St John's games before the bracket reveal- what do folks think will be the results for the league teams in the reveal?

I'll say Nova as a 3 seed and Providence as a 4 seed is my guess. Really looking forward to seeing exactly where the committee places Providence. They really could be anywhere from even now a 2 seed to I guess conceivably off the top 4 lines.

I'm interested to see where Providence (great resume, shitty metrics) lands in relation to Houston (great metrics, shitty resume).

yeah completely agree with you. I think Houston will be low if on at all.

Providence I just don't know. I mean yesterday there were 35 bracketologies. 8 of them had PC as a 5 or 6 seed. But at the same time 10 had them as a 3 seed and 3 as a 2 seed. So who knows about them.

[stever20]

So none of the top teams play today at all so bracketology will be able to predict this some....

Bracketville has Nova and Providence both at 3 seeds.
Lunardi has Nova and Providence both at 3 seeds.
DeCourcey has Nova at 2 Providence at 3

Wait, what? Was I wrong all this time in thinking Nova can only get Philadelphia as a 1 seed? Having to beat Kentucky and Kansas, though, is ridiculous.

It's totally opposite of what they did with Nova/Philly in 2017. Weird.

It's going to be a tough road almost no matter what.. would be-
Duke/Gonzaga
Purdue/Auburn
Baylor/Arizona
Kentucky/Kansas

My preference would be S, MW = W, E in that order. Better yet, just take Duke or Purdue's spot. But the committee would never place Kansas, Kentucky, and Duke in the same region... lol

So looking going forward:
Nova 2 Q1 1 Q2, BET
Duke 3 Q2, 2 Q3, ACCT

The guy even mentioned the upcoming schedule I think with those 2 teams....

Of course, if Nova did pass Duke- they'd be going out west instead of Philly. And the road there would have been Illinois/Gonzaga not exactly a real easy path at all.
