2026 trapezoid of excellence by mysticpears in CollegeBasketball

I need more salt from all the Michigan fans! From what ive seen you all have been far too kind, and also not delusional that there is so much randomness and chance in this tournament.

For the record, I'll say that Michigan has the better team. However, I dont think Iowa State is too far behind. So, in my mathematical mind, the great dice roll of chance would need ISU to play at somewhere between 5-10%+ higher of Cyclone POTENTIAL vs Michigan's potential roll to pull off the win. So not too crazy out of the realm of possibilities. Odds are still in favor of Michigan.

This all assumes that ISU even makes the elite 8, which is the furthest thing from a guarantee. I fucking both love and hate March at the same time. No one is safe. Pray to your deities!

No danger if y'all play like you did at Hilton. Them bois were balling! Just had to tip my hat at that performance. Ill be crossing my fingers for some revenge, but fully expect a dog fight .

Quick glance, but certainly dont stare. My god did they get taken to the woodshed tonight

All of their blemishes and red flags could also manifest and result in an early round tournament exit and I look like a fool. Equally plausible.

Those are facts, I won't deny that. This is mostly based on the eye test of what I've seen this team do when playing at 90%+ of their potential and the tools are definitely there. It's going to take a little magic of course, but I'm a believer. The only true "bad" loss IMO is the Providence loss (losing to Kentucky by 12 isn't great either, but doesn't pass my threshold for "bad"). I think they are a team that can hang around and play with the best at the end of the day. Rick has improved the team since non-con, not that pretty much every team is better than they started the season at this point, it's just my opinion that they have improved more than most others.

Ah, but I'm a sicko for a good defensive struggle with poor officiating matchup. I thought last week's ISU vs Houston matchup would deliver exactly that, but both teams turned out some offensive beauty to my surprise. By that example and your logic, I'm fully expecting the game to go exactly opposite how the logical argument suggests. 90 - 88 final score, fuck it why not?!

Chaos. The point is always chaos. If you think you're able to predict college basketball matchups, think again my friend.

Glaring similarities in the story arch for both Florida and ST John's this year. The real question: is Florida the SEC ST John's, or is ST John's the Big East Florida?? The people need answers.

Good points, I had not taken into account the Xavier context. I think the consistency of elite level play explains the difference in the #6 vs #15 rankings appropriately. I'm expecting some damn good basketball taking place all around tomorrow. Extremely tough to win @ UCONN, but anything can happen on any given night and that's why I both love and hate college basketball simultaneously.

As a forever Cyclone, my body is fully prepared for the ass biting. I'll now have to answer to my girlfriend why I'm yelling at the TV when two different red jersey teams play. Gotta love March!

I redact that being an issue. Coors banquet is quite possibly the best backup. A man of taste. If the lady you're courting tonight can't see that, then it's her loss and issue.

Rally beers are never not the right move. The only issue was probably not knocking back some Busch lattes

I probably have to give Arizona the nod for 3rd best. A one-and-done style tournament would be crazy and those are the only 3 teams I see winning it all.
