The Aggies are out of the SEC Tournament, but safely in the NCAA Tournament, so let's relax and watch some basketball.

What's changed: Not a ton. My sweet narrative boy Florida State is gone, and now a lot of the "who we're for" today just depends on how much you trust the selection committee. If you think that they're going to get most everyone within a couple of spots on the seed line of what they deserve, then there's a path here today to be for a bid stealer, but not too many bid stealers, to potentially push Texas closer to the edge and maybe land us on the 10 line instead of the 9. But I think down that path lies danger, and would rather just pull for results that make sure we stay out of Dayton. But up to you, so I'm removing that today.

(projected seeds are a combination of bracketmatrix and ColleyvilleAg)

Bid Thief Watch:

Maximum number of bids that can still be stolen: 4 (SEC, Big East, Mountain West, A-10)

George Washington vs (9) St. Louis - 10:30 AM - USA Network - A-10 Quarterfinal
  • Choose your own adventure here. St. Louis win keeps the bubble as big as possible. A St. Louis loss guarantees two bids for the A10 (which they might get anyway) and would likely move St. Louis behind us on the seed list.
Seton Hall vs (5) St. John's - 4:30 PM - FOX - Big East Semifinal

Ole Miss vs (4) Alabama - 6 PM - SEC Network - SEC Quarterfinal

Georgetown vs (2) UConn - 7 PM - FS1 - Big East Semifinal

Nevada vs (8) Utah State - 8:30 PM - CBSSN - Mountain West Semifinal
  • This game is late enough that we should know by then if we don't want any more bids stolen or if we're probably in the clear to pull for Nevada.
Bubble Games:

Duquesne vs (B -4) - VCU - 4 PM - USA Network - A-10 Quarterfinal
  • Would avoiding this loss be enough to lock in VCU?
(B +2) Oklahoma vs (5) Arkansas - 8:30 PM - SEC Network - SEC Quarterfinal
  • Win and in for Oklahoma?
(B +3) New Mexico vs (B +5) San Diego State - 11 PM - CBSSN - Mountain West Semifinal
  • I don't think it's completely out of the question that the winner of this games gets the last spot in the field without beating Utah State, but Oklahoma would probably need to lose and no other bid stealers win.
Seeding only games:

(9) Ohio State vs (1) Michigan - 11 AM - Big Ten Network - Big Ten Quarterfinal

(7) Kentucky vs (1) Florida - 12 PM - ESPN - SEC Quarterfinal

(6) Wisconsin vs (2) Illinois - 1:30 PM - Big Ten Network - Big Ten Quarterfinal

(6) Tennessee vs (5) Vanderbilt - 2:30 PM - SEC Network - SEC Quarterfinal

(3) Purdue vs (3) Nebraska - 5:30 PM - Big Ten Network - Big Ten Quarterfinal

(3) Iowa State vs (1) Arizona - 6 PM - ESPN - Big 12 Semifinal

(7) Miami vs (4) Virginia - 6 PM - ESPN2 - ACC Semifinal

(8) UCLA vs (2) Michigan State - 8 PM - Big Ten Network - Big Ten Quarterfinal

(8) Clemson vs (1) Duke - 8:30 PM - ESPN2 - ACC Semifinal

(4) Kansas vs (2) Houston - 8:30 PM - ESPN - Big 12 Semifinal

O' Empire Wide and Glorious:

Prairie View A&M vs Alabama A&M - 1 PM - ESPN+ - SWAC Semifinal

Kennesaw State vs Sam Houston - 2 PM - CBSSN - CUSA Semifinal

North Texas at Tulsa - 2:30 PM - ESPN2 - American Quarterfinal

UT Arlington vs Utah Valley - 8 PM - ESPN+ - WAC Semifinal

Seems everyone is checked out.

From my model, we want St. louis to win so we can stay a 10. If they lose, we become a 9.

If I were a 1 seed, Ohio State is not a team I'd want in my bracket as an 8/9. They are really coming on.

Condon from Florida elbowed UK player in the face, no call after review. Hill bangs heads with OU player Flagrant 1 on Hill. Seems about right.

I think Florida's only downfall is a team like Michigan or Illinois who matches their size but also shoots the 3 ball much better. Although it's still skeptical because Michigan turns the ball over more than anyone in the Big 10 and Illinois is the worst P4 team in the country at creating them.

Florida pretty much in complete control this second half all while shooting 2-19 from 3.

Down goes Sam, probably overwhelmed by the confusion of playing in a different Huntsville.

Duke Miles with 28 pts on 10-11 shooting (4-5 from three).

Was the off-season consensus that he jumped ship after Pop committed? I don't exactly remember the logistics/timing

I think it was after Hill or Griffin. It was def before Pop committed.

The top 8 are probably already set. Illinois is probably a 2 seed, the last one.

okay, that was my recollection, I figured it was either Griffin or Pop.

Do we want Vcu to win or lose?

think ISU has it locked up already, but winning this Zona game would seal it

Operating under the assumption that we're clearly above the cut line and we want tu to miss the tournament, we want VCU to win up until maybe the A10 championship. They need to win a couple of games to remain above Texas.

Again, I think those 1 and 2 seeds are set. Also if Illinois drops to a 3, then the 3 seeds will have 3 Big Ten schools which will screw up seeding.

So I think the Big Ten will get a 1 seed, 2 2 seeds and 2 3 seeds.

How about OM/Bama? Any seeding implications from an RPI standpoint here or are we just rooting for OM because Nate Oats is a colossal doo sh?

Doesn't matter outside of Ole Miss still being in the tournament as a potential bid stealer.

Pack (the same dude that bled and drew the flagrant 1 yesterday) just flopped the hell out of a foul again.

Thought for sure Pack's shot was going in.

Hope some are watching Lobos v Aztecs.

High quality play in my opinion (other than a lot of missed free throws on the part of New Mexico). It's a shame that the loser is likely out of contention for an at large invite to the NCAAT.

On the other hand, winner might get in even if they don't beat Utah State in the Mountain West Conference Championship Game.
