TAS Bracketology 2014-15

Just put together my bracket ... I've got WSU and UNI both making the Elite 8. I think UNI has a great shot against the weakest 1 seed.

If UNI and Virginia match up in the Elite 8, that's going to be the single ugliest game of the tournament.

That seems to be a theme across the selection process this year. There was little emphasis on rewarding the things that teams can control (noncon SOS, win % against good teams) and a massive over-emphasis on rewarding things teams don't control (conference SOS, quantity of games against top RPI teams).

I always say teams get bids, not conferences. But this year was alarming. UCLA getting that 4th Pac-12 team in, and Texas getting that 7th Big 12 bid. And the Mountain West had a terrible year and still got 3 in, and would've been 4 with Colorado St. Keeping Temple out keeps the A-10 down at 3. AAC only gets 2 in. SEC gets their 3 bubble teams in to get to 5.

UNI vs Wyoming isn't going to be pretty....except for the final result when UNI wins the game.

But, where's Creighton?

[Trapped in CA]

This that Morgan is going to prove a tough matchup for the Wyoming guards - probably on Josh Adams, their second leading scorer (responsible for about 20% of scoring - similar to Nance). Morgan has at least 3" on Adams.

WY is not a strong 3 PT shooting team, which should tilt to UNI

That, and Wyoming seems to have a fairly short bench, only going 6-7 deep.

ISU is 4 seed vs UW-Green Bay
Winner plays Old Dominion vs charleston southern winner
Murray state is 3 seed and Tulsa 2 seed in our region

They're in the best conference ever. Granted, they're losing in it and sitting in the Big East basement, but they're in it, damn it.
