fathom Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) Someone on another board said they were an 11 seed on there. I was assuming there was at least one at-large with a 12 or 13. If not, then I'm wrong. Nope, he has them as last team in. A few teams have higher seeds than where they should be due to inter-conference matchups, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 11, 2007 -> 04:25 PM) So the most accruate bracketologists(collegeRPI.com) have Illinois in with room to breathe. Lunardi was much more accurate than Jerry last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Illinois probably should get in, but they'll be out due to the lack of even a single quality win. Also, quite a few mid majors will get at larges (Drexel and Appalachian State for instance). Hope I'm wrong though. Also, today's action made the 4 #1 seeds awfully easy.

aboz56 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 I think Lunardi is wrong on Illinois, they're gonna be in. I just don't see leaving out a top 35 RPI, 20+ wins and a winning conference record in the Big 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appalachian State getting in would be one beyond ridiculous. Look at some of the teams they lost to. Elon, Wake Forest, Furman, and UNC Greensboro. Any major team has those losses and they aren't even being discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could definitely see us making the Sweet 16 here. Virginia Tech is pretty Jekyl or Hyde though. They play some great games and some really bad ones.

The only thing is that VT might have the two best defensive guards in the country, and will make it tough for the mediocre guards of Illinois to do anything.
