SMU loses to Temple that was missing 3 starters.

been a GREAT night for Creighton I'd say.

I’d say decent because Rutgers and Loyola won. Gotta take care of DePaul tomorrow.

The North Carolina loss is huge obviously. Loyola winning actually is a plus short term because it keeps them as the auto team. SMU losing opens up a new bid as long as Houston wins tomorrow.

This only affects how it looks on brackets.

Like UNC, Iowa has no Q1 in in their resume. I don't know if Michigan should be 2nd team out either. But these 2 teams have NET better than their resume.

actually if they're the auto team, that saves an at large space. Creighton will be huge Loyola fans in Arch Madness. Just like Davidson in A10 and Houston in AAC.

Correct. But it'd be even better to eliminate any possibility of bid stealing in the mvc, and that'd be to have Loyola take bad losses before their tournament.

Odds are mid-major teams in the bubble are not very safe with teams like Michigan and Rutgers making late season push.

I didn't realize how awful Iowa's resume is. Pretty crazy that they're a projected 8 seed right now. It's all metrics and conference affiliation with them.

Iowa and UNC have no resume at all. The committee has to be able to see through the metrics and leave them out right?
