Bracketology Update 1/31/15

Leave a comment

Joe Lunardi will be doing a weekly Saturday article with his “Bracket Math” and then he’ll breakdown the weekend’s most important games with teams that would be “In With a Win”, “Out Without” and who has the “Most at Stake” which could describe a team that would lose any chance of getting into the NCAA Tournament or just a team whose seeding could be affected by a win or loss.

Lunardi identified St. John’s as being in with a win against Providence today and the Seton Hall/Xavier game was on with the most at stake.

Here is the full “Bracket Math”:

Review of Last Night’s Action

There were 9 games yesterday to help Providence boost their RPI. The overall results were 7-2. Florida State needed double overtime to outlast Wake Forest at home, 82-76. URI got a last second tip in by Gil Biruta to win at Fordham, 64-63. Binghamton went on the road and beat UMBC, 68-56, to get their 3rd win of the season. Stony Brook improved to 15-8 with a home win against Hartford, 72-66. Albany beat Vermont on the road in a low scoring affair, 47-44. Navy defended their home court against American, 64-54. Notre Dame beat Duke, 77-73, at home in an exciting game between top 10 teams. Boston College gave Louisville all the Cardinals could handle but came up short at home, 81-72. Miami dropped a home ACC game against Georgia Tech, 70-50. That loss assures the Hurricanes will drop from the top 25 on Monday.

Bracketology: Let’s Make a Bracket

2 Comments

With Bracket Matrix up to 73 brackets reporting right now I figured why not try to create my own bracket to see how I do against the rest of the field. I’ll give you my S-curve as well as try to seed teams while following the NCAA Selection Committee’s guidelines for seeding. I’ll try to do this post at least once a week as the season progresses.

The automatic qualifiers are based on the conference standings through games on January 26th.

Be sure to send me your feedback in the comments section, via email or on Twitter. Here we go.

Here is a breakdown of Lunardi’s latest bracket:
