Spitblood Bracketology

I don't think the Frogs will be sniffing this either...

Here is a new Spitblood feature for all you college basketball fans / degenerate gamblers. We are going to do a brief weekly write up on where the MWC and Big East stand as far as the NCAA tournament is concerned. I will include the teams and as well the general idea of which seed they might garner. It is a work in progress so if you don't like it, then you can get the fudge out. Lets start with our current conference.

MWC

Teams In

• #6 SDSU (20-0) - They have a basketball team? I know, I was suprised too. And they are good, really good. 'Signature win' against #12 Gonzaga. Also projected at a 2. Next Wednesday at BYU will let us know a lot about both teams.
• # 9 BYU (18-1) - Did you know that Jimmer Fredette is the leading scorer in the country? Well he is. and he also has the worst first name in the country also. Projected 2 seed, probably drops to a 3 or 4 considering they still have rival Utah and 2 games against #6 SDSU.
• UNLV (14-5) - They have some good wins over Wisconsin and K. State, but have dropped their first meetings with both BYU and SDSU. A loss on Wednesday to Colorado State was painful because CSU could jump up there at take a spot. Projected 10 seed.

On the Bubble

• Does anybody else hate this term as much as me? Good.
• CSU (13-5) - Yeah, it doesn't look good for the Rams. They still face BYU twice and SDSU twice and they haven't really put up a notable win all season except for the one against UNLV the other night. Took a pummeling from Kansas in the early goings. If they can't split those four games with BYU and SDSU then they might be out. Projected - Out

Thats it for the current conference. What about the new conference? Well, unless you live under a rock, you would know that the Big East likes its round ball. While they pulled a big 0-fer most of the year having a team in the football top 25, they have 7 in the basketball top 25 including 4 in the top 10. Pretty impressive.

Big East

Teams In

• Pittsburgh (18-1) - 1 Seed
• Syracuse (18-1) - 2 Seed (maybe 1?) - Scoops Jardin is the name of the season.
  
• UConn (15-2) - 2 Seed
• Villanova (16-2) - 3 Seed
• Notre Dame (15-4) - 3/4 Seed
• Lousiville (15-3) - 6 Seed
  
• West Virginia (12-5) - 7 Seed
• Georgetown (14-5) - 7 Seed
• St. Johns (11-6) - 8 Seed
• Cincinnati (16-3) - 9 Seed

On the Bubble

• Marquette (13-6) - 12/13 Seed

So that is 11 out of 16 teams from the Big East that might make it in. The next closest conferences are the Big 12/10 with 6 and the Big 10/12 with 6. That is insane. When do you think we will notch our first conference win?? I mean, we have to beat Depaul, right?? It will sure as hell be fun to watch.
