3 Day Plan

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday:
Fairfield @ UConn – Not really important. Just the ONLY game scheduled over those three days.

Saturday 27th:
West Virginia @ Ohio St. – West Virginia doesn’t have that signature win yet, and could pick it up here. A win @ OSU (the same Ohio St. team that beat Notre Dame on a neutral court) would lift the Mountaineers to fill the void left by Louisville. Ohio St, on the other hand, has an inside track to a 1 or 2 seed. So long as they keep winning, they should be fine.

UAB @ Louisville – Louisville needs a game to get back on track, after the tough losses to WKU and Minnesota. UAB, however, needs this win a bit more desperately. Without it, they’re going to have a really hard time making it to the tournament.

Washington St. @ LSU – What? You still think LSU is for real? You still think they have a shot at making the tournament? Here, let Wazzu dispel those illusions for you.

Since we have a two-day spot with no games, I think now would be an appropriate time to look at where we stand in terms of March. Since this (supposedly) requires looking at all 344 teams, I will be dividing this up into nine segments:
1. The Definite One-Bids
2. Western 1-4 bids (WCC/WAC/MWC)
3. Central 1-4 bids (Horizon/MVC/MAC)
4. Eastern 1-4 bids (A-10/C-USA/MAAC)
5. Weak Power Conferences (Pac-10/SEC)
6. Big East
7. Big 10
8. Big XII
9. ACC
I reserve the right to combine the last four. This may last through the playing of more games, but I'll try to get them all completed. Hopefully a bracket will get out? Who knows.
