Up to #9 in ESPN Power Rankings
We've jumped from 22 to 9. (Duh!).
Oh look...who's that at #10?
Purdue 2 seed, Michigan and MSU both 3 seeds.
Purdue and Michigan in Detroit - MSU sent to Nashville where they get annhilated by Kentucky.
It's a good plan.
Unless I'm reading these things wrong, there are no 3 seeds in Detroit.
I could be wrong, but I think the regionals are relatively flexible. The regionals are decided by what is most ideal for the highest seed in the regional (1-4 seeds) with precendence going to the highest seeds. So with two regionals in Detroit, and the only two teams in consideration who would be closest to Detroit being MSU and Purdue, We mostly just have to beat out one of those two on the S-Curve to stay home and play.
For example, the current bracket Matrix would go as follows:
1 Seed - Virginia - Charlotte
1 Seed - VIllanova - Pittsburgh
1 Seed - Xavier - Nashville
1 Seed - Kansas - Wichita
2 Seed - Duke - Charlotte
2 Seed - Purdue - Detroit
2 Seed - North Carolina - Nashville
2 Seed - Michigan State - Detroit
3 Seed - Auburn - Dallas
3 Seed - Cincinatti - Pittsburgh
3 Seed - Tennessee - Dallas
3 Seed - Wichita St. - Boise
4 Seed - Texas Tech - Wichita
4 Seed - West Virginia - Boise
4 Seed - Michigan - San Diego
4 Seed - Clemson - San Diego
Michigan would have to hop over Michigan state in the S-Curve, and hope to have one of the teams that could go either way (Xavier or Purdue) head to Nashville instead. It is certainly possible the we play in Detroit.
and Michigan is #12. Both 3 seeds for now.
"experts" think purdue and msu are contenders and we are hype / hot hype:http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22637894/the-343…
purdue maybe, but can't see msu on that list
This is just more evidence that ESPN is out to destroy MSU.
In fact, I think ESPN might have planted Nasser at MSU 25 years ago, and is just now seeing its long war against the school reach its final stages...
But ESPN faked his birth certificate for him.
to Sunday's game as well. (Notes Purdue could rise pending Sunday's game..)
Ahhh...good catch. I was more focused on finding the Cartman licking up sweet Sparty tears gif...
To Belein and Team.
So nice to see that coach that doesn't cheat, WIN!
If slapping the floor proves you're tough and determined, does that mean we should ship the trophy up to East Lansing — cuz they're WAY better than Michigan at doing that.
(My internet's been out so I may have missed someone else making this observation.)
Think we scored consecutive 3s after they did that on sat.
