Teams with a Zero
We’re in double digits for both undefeated and winless teams
after the weekend. 74 teams as of Sunday
night (Minnesota’s game is currently underway) are undefeated against Division
I competition. Michigan, Maryland, and Pittsburgh
lead the way with a 5-0 mark. 76 teams
have yet to record a win. King Rice’s
Monmouth squad, who just a few years back owned the early part of the season,
are the only team winless in six Division I games.
Notable Games
An underwhelming start, but three of the five games that
featured a blue blood and a mid-major proved competitive, and I came within a
bucket of nailing the Indiana-Arkansas score exactly. Hopefully a sign that better results are
upcoming. Five neutral court battles
this week being spotlighted.
This week's top five as I see them (2-3 last week, 6-9
overall):
#5 Tennessee vs Louisville, Wed – Louisville 72, Tennessee
71
#4 Mississippi State vs Arizona State, Mon – Arizona State
74, Mississippi State 73
#3 Saint Mary’s vs Utah State, Mon – Saint Mary’s 74, Utah
State 71
#2 UCLA vs Michigan State, Thu – Michigan State 79, UCLA 75
#1 Duke vs San Diego State, Mon – Duke 78, San Diego State
74
Bracket
My updated bracket can be found below. Right now, the weighting is 68% last
year/pre-season and 32% results from this season.
Swapping out five auto bids:
Sun Belt- Georgia Southern (Louisiana)
WAC- Grand Canyon (New Mexico St.)- Futility alert, would be
first appearance in program history
Southern- UNC Greensboro (Furman)
The following two are effectively reversing out swaps made
in the last bracket
CAA- Charleston (Northeastern)
Summit- South Dakota State (South Dakota)
Also, swapping in six at larges including Kansas St., Texas,
Wisconsin, BYU, San Francisco, and Utah St.
Syracuse, West Virginia, Florida, Davidson, TCU and Utah have dropped
out.
