There isn’t a match thread for it, but Notre Dame is dismantling Indiana & Salima is looking good while they do it😀

yeah, obv some circumstances that need to go right, but they def still "have a real shot" IMO. Maybe! I think there would need to be some real messy conference play (which i dont think is out of the question) like if anyone would like to win the B1G, just let us know! |

Baby those Bluejays are not to be messed with. I'm elated to see them get a top 10 win after knocking on the door for matches in a row!
I said in my prediction that Wait and Bilinovic tip the scales for their team in this matchup (which they did) but what I wasn't factoring was redshirt freshman, Jaya Johnson. Way to work and help your team to an important victory mizzz ma'amzzz!

Creighton is goody good. I think they have a real shot at a top 4 seed if they win tomorrow. Just the amount of wins they'll pick up in the BEast alone should be enough, unless they trip up against a weaker team. I think they would need help since they didnt beat LV or Nebraska. Definitely would need some help. A perfect Creighton storm would be as many of the following things happening: Kansas being top 5. Purdue being top 10. USC being top 16. Marquette(x2/x3) being Top 25, St. John's(x2/x3) being Top 50, Rice, UNI, Mizzou all being T50. All of that together could definitely be a top 4 seed profile. But, even with all that happening, I'm still not even sure it'd be a done deal winning out. H2H losses to Louisville and Nebraska, who are obviously regional host contenders, really hurts. Purdue/USC knocking off Wisconsin/Penn State/Nebraska could really help. Sometimes common opponents > H2H, lol. |

Purdue/USC knocking off Wisconsin/Penn State/Nebraska could really help. Sometimes common opponents > H2H, lol. I plan on running RPI probabilities this coming week. I am very curious how this plays out. Kansas and Creighton have almost identical SOS right now - so the difference between those two will their own winning % (or just look at total losses). But this is before the BE tournament. I know the regional seed is going to be more than just RPI - and Creighton (and Kansas) is going to be fighting a bit up hill in terms of very high-quality wins. Since I have thought about this in terms of Kansas (and their situation being very similar to Creighton) - today's match is almost disqualifying for the loser. For the winner - I believe the best path is: Pittsburgh and Nebraska continue to dominate and roll through their conference. I think these are clearly the 2 best teams right now, and I can see both teams steamrolling through the rest of the season. Nebraska beating Louisville is a must (IMO). That leaves 2 more spots. The great depth at the top of the B1G and ACC causes teams to sustain too many losses. I think a 2nd ACC team is probably likely, but as long as SMU/GaTech/Florida State/UNC can get 1 or 2 upset wins over ACC #3 - I think that opens up the possibility for Kansas/Creighton. And then something similar with the B1G - Penn State, Oregon, Wisconsin, Purdue aren't able to upset Nebraska and then they start spreading losses between each other. Finally - no team is able to run away in the SEC. Florida is probably a much different team now that they have Martin and Stucky. Texas, Kentucky, Florida need to be trading losses against each other - and maybe Auburn/Tennessee can get an upset against one of those big 3. |

I don't know nothin' 'bout RPI probabilities but I'm certain Purdue and W. Michigan killed me in PTW. :-(
