🏀 Bracketology 2020-21 season.- Selection Sunday (Bama to face Iona)

[BamaFan334]

Have you seen Illinois Play? Their big man, Cockburn, will kill them. Bama can't guard anyone underneath the basket.

Yeah, but they just feel like the most vulnerable. Of course they beat Ohio State today and have beaten some good teams, so maybe it's a coin toss at this moment. Maybe we can shoot with Baylor, but right now Gonzaga, Baylor, and Michigan are teams I don't want to play. Of course with how up and down we are, I'll just be happy to get the opportunity to play ANY of them!

The NET. It's a daily snap shot which can be confusing.

Arkansas has won 11 in a row drops five places in the NET.

Crap early game which has been a slot Bama has struggled some in. Guys are going to have to figure out how to start fast at least with effort and defensive intensity.

 

[bamafan4ever]

Well, the semi and championship is only 1 hour difference so hopefully they will adapt quickly.

Penn State jumped from 48 to 40 in the latest NET rankings. Why do I mention PSU? They are the only team, other than Alabama, who hasn't played a Q4 team this season. Over 75% of Bama's schedule this season has been against Q1 and Q2 opponents.

Colton Houston deserves a hat tip. He's done a hell of a job with scheduling.

On the bracket projections: Right now there are 103 brackets being tracked by Bracket Matrix. Only one has Bama as a three seed, two have the Tide as a #1 seed, and you can do the math on the remainder.

 

[Rolltide24]

I like this SEC bracket. Good schedule for the Tide. Mizzou and Arky in the other bracket is a win.

 

[TerryP]

Mizzou and Arky in the other bracket is a win.

They've tanked. 2-5 since Bama.

 

[MunchyOs]

Hopefully the coronabros won't cancel it this year

 

[BamaFan334]

I like this SEC bracket. Good schedule for the Tide. Mizzou and Arky in the other bracket is a win.

I would rather see LSU than Tennessee. We've dominated teams that don't play "team" basektball, and LSU is much more of a team like that then Tennessee. That being said, Tennessee had a rough February.

 

[mando]

The Friday game may be the toughest. If State, well we just played them. They played us tight and their coach is crafty. If UK, they are playing better and with their tradition they are not going to want to get beat by anyone 3 times in one year. I think they are also more talented than State.

JL updated his brackets last night. Polls are just out the Tide is #6 in AP, #5 in the coaches and #7 NET.

Zach Edey returning to Purdue shakes up Bracketology in a big way

Kansas remains the clear preseason No. 1, but the Boilermakers have slipped in behind the Jayhawks as a probable repeat 1-seed with revenge on their minds.

Now that's a nicely set up bracket for Alabama. I feel confident in ATLEAST a Sweet 16 run there. May not happen, but I can see it with that bracket.

 

[TerryP]

The DI MBB Committee has begun the selection process.

Step 1: Casting their initial ballots. If a team receives all but 2 eligible votes, they have been selected to the field. If a team receives less than that, but gets at least 3 votes, they are on the under consideration list.

 

[TerryP]

That puts them out.

 

[TerryP]

Anyone catch UNC last night? Looked strong.

 

[MunchyOs]

That puts them out.

Hoping this isn't a harbinger of things to come, a la March 2020

Duke, known for its medical end, has handled this worse than Bama. A lot of schools have (pointing at A&M with all their $.)

It's back injury 2.0 . Thankfully, it's beginning to expose where Coach K can't wear as many crowns as he believes he can.

 

[UAgrad93]

That puts them out.

Well, I guess Coach K got his wish after all!
