Nice work!!
However, for balance I will point to John Templon of nycbuckets has us as a #1 seed in the NIT. He's been a consistent naysayer.

I noticed since last night we dropped from 85 brackets to 80 FWIW (On Matrix)

We're consistently in 80% of the brackets. My guess is that we're play-in game in 25%, regular seed 55%, and not in 20%. Although I would suspect that the numbers will improve after last night's games.

You have to look at the total number of brackets, not just the number we are in. We are in 80 of 96 right now (83%), where as yesterday we were in 85 of 104. The matrix removes old brackets if they have not been updated in a while to try and reflect the most up to date prognostications.
Huge number of key games today, starting at noon with Louisville and Virginia. We should have a much clearer picture at the end of the day of where we stand, win or lose.

Even the naysayer has been turned: John Templon @nybuckets I moved Kansas St., St. Bonaventure, Providence and UCLA to my Locks column today after some evaluation (and good wins). If USC beats Oregon St. tonight I'll put them there too. |

I imagine we will move up even more once the 3/9 brackets are added today. The only bubble teams still playing that could pass us are USC and UCLA, maybe Alabama, but I think they would have to win both today and tomorrow to do that. I don't even think we will have to sweat a play in game at this point. Winning tonight would be great and give us a huge confidence boost heading into the big dance

Hmmm. This guy at the Washington Compost thinks we "still have work to do."
