I know my voice won't mean anything, but if Sorby plays, I'm not sure I'll watch a single down of college football this year. I won't trust the system. #BlueCy

Might feel like sour grapes, but my 2nd favorite team this year, will be whoever is playing Penn State. #BlueCy

Its more an issue of the mid majors that get in now, will be dropped from 13 seed to 14 seed and now have to face a 3 instead of a 4 for example. So their opportunities to advance will go down further as well.

Oats and Lloyd both got extensions that put them above him, so he's probably closer to 8/9.

This is incredibly lazy reporting out of ESPN. All 3 of their wins by Denver were pre-draft deadline (1 in Oct, 1 in Nov, 1 in Dec (2OT)). The point about limping in... we had no Edwards or McDaniels in half of those...

As long as Ken Pom has kept a record ('02) here are the national championship stats: #1 overall in KenPom = 13 1 seed not #1 overall = 7 Uconn not #1 overall and not a 1 seed = 3 Others = 1 - Carmelo Anthony led Syracuse

Walt_CyKC @waltcykc.bsky.social · 31/03/2026
The only team that can end this streak is Illinois. The streak goes back to '03 Syracuse. Otherwise every year the team that wins the national championship has either been a 1 seed, #1 in Ken Pom, or named Uconn. Illinois is currently #4 in KP, though if they win both they could maybe get to #1.

Now that the tournament is upon us... you probably should look at that top 10 KenPom for your winner. The catch is @kenpom.com gets updated throughout the tournament... so who's #1 now, may not be at the end of the tournament. Either be a 1 seed, be #1 in Ken Pom, or be named Uconn.

Based on what I know about bracketing rules, the top 4 teams from a conference if all within the top 4 seed lines, cannot end up in the same region. If true, Iowa State cant be in the West (AZ) or the South (assuming Hou ahead of ISU) that means we end up either in Duke or Michigan's region. #BlueCy

Last night simplified things (in a less good way for #Cyclones)... It's now: ISU W & KU L = 4 seed ISU W & KU W = 5 seed ISU L & TCU L = 5 seed ISU L & TCU W = 6 seed

Assuming I'm correct with this, there are 512 combinations of remaining games: 3 seed = 32 times 4 seed = 128 times 5 seed = 224 times 6 seed = 128 times

I haven't run all the scenarios yet... but I'm fairly certain these are the big ones for #Cyclones #BlueCy: ISU W, HOU 2 L & KU L = 3 seed ISU W, HOU 2 L & KU W = 4 seed ISU W, HOU 1 or 0 L & KU L = 4 seed ISU W, HOU 1 or 0 L & KU W = 5 seed ISU L, TCU L = 5 seed ISU L, TCU W = 6 seed

#BlueCy not to be the bearer of bad news... but IF the Cyclones lose on Sat AND TCU wins the Cyclones fall to the 6 seed in KC

He was missing the skip pass a ton last night. It was open in the corner, and his vision wasn't what it's been all year.

I feel like Momcilovic has taken a serious agressiveness step back. I know that he's having to fight constantly to get open, but he's passed up shots that he'd take early in the season.

So if you are not a 1 seed, you better be named Uconn, or be #1 in KenPom to win it all...

How important is a 1 seed, the last National Champions: 2025 - 1 seed 2024 - 1 2023 - 4 (Uconn #1 KenPom) 2022 - 1 2021 - 1 2019 - 1 2018 - 1 2017 - 1 2016 - 2 (Nova 1 KP) 2015 - 1 2014 - 7 (Uconn 15 KP) 2013 - 1 2012 - 1 2011 - 3 (Uconn 10 KP) 2010 - 1 2009 - 1 2008 - 1 2007 - 1 2006 - 3 (FL 1 KP)

My Power Rankings #BlueCy before Wednesday's game (spoiler alert Colorado/K-state don't move the needle much). ISU vs. Tech likely to decide who gets the double bye and who doesn't.

The crazy part is, I thought they did better last night, but it was still 67%. Part of that was Pleta being 1 for 4 though, and he's not who we'd have shoot them down the stretch.

Power rankings ahead of Wednesday's games. ISU was 7% behind Tech and has all but closed that gap. Remaining Games: HOU - HighTier(HT)=2, MidTier(MT)=1, LowTier(LT)=2 AZ - HT=1,MT=3,LT=1 KU - HT=2, MT=2, LT=2 Tech - HT=2, MT=0, LT=3 ISU - HT=2, MT=1, LT=2

My Power Rankings ahead of Saturdays games... Still doesn't like BYU, and they are running out of chances to prove it. All of their wins have been against the bottom 3rd of the conference thus-far.

It's not even out there... it's when he backs his way in from the side, they send a 2nd guy over, and if he's not paying attention or on his A-game, he bounces it so high, they strip him.

I still don't trust Kansas in the tournament. I still think Peterson is fine and he's just being a bad teammate - looking out for his draft stock - and that's going to bite them later. I could be wrong though...

My Power Rankings...Hou ahead of AZ mostly because AZ hasn't played much of their "mid-tier" games. Meanwhile Houston has mostly played mid-tier. Same for ISU/Tech Remaining games: AZ - HighTier(HT)=2,MidTier(MT)=6,LowTier(LT)=0 Hou - HT=3,MT=1,LT=4 ISU - HT=1,MT=5,LT=2 Tech - HT=2,MT=2,LT=4 #BlueCy

My power rankings after the Wednesday games... BYU had a chance to climb some the last 2 weeks, but they failed, so the math still hates them. On the ISU front, it's because the teeth of the schedule is in front of them.
