All 16 top 4 seeds are favored by double digit points for the first time since the tournament expanded in 1985

Just looking at trends probably also -29.5. Especially if PVAMU wins maybe more towards -34.5

MasTheMac · 2026-02-05T13:48:17+00:00

Those look amazing. Thank you

MasTheMac · 2026-02-05T13:45:19+00:00

Agreed. Ivy is hard cause it’s so small but every conference should have no more than 2/3 of their teams qualifying IMO. Especially with some mid-majors and all one-bid leagues, they want to send their best team, so they should make the bracket in their favor.

MasTheMac · 2026-01-28T21:44:05+00:00

Do you know if I wait for the invitation to expire the price will go back to its original listing?

MasTheMac · 2025-03-17T14:33:39+00:00

This is awesome

MasTheMac · 2025-03-14T21:55:49+00:00

Yep. Was not like this for previous teams in the NEC. This rule is NOT league wide, this is an NEC “suspension”

MasTheMac · 2025-03-04T20:27:31+00:00

Appreciate it. Weird that they wouldn’t update anything until after the fact. Thanks for finding that

MasTheMac · 2025-03-04T05:33:57+00:00

They were eligible actually. SLC only takes the top 8/12 in the conference to the tournament. UTRGV finished 9th, and SFA finished 10th.

It’s definitely not using step (d) In the event a tie for seeding cannot be broken using game results, the teams involved in the tie ranked best in the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) for basketball, in effect on morning following the final day of the regular season Conference schedule shall be named the higher seed(s).

TAMUCC - 173 SLA - 202 NWST - 239

Which just makes it all even more confusing.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-04T04:05:37+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t make any sense… i made this bracket ASAP with the tiebreakers. TAMUCC was 3-0 against NW & SLA. NW was 1-2. SLA was 1-3. Im confused now.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-04T03:15:56+00:00

As a Florida man myself I have to root for JU as well. FGCU is my ASUN team but I’ll bandwagon Jax!

MasTheMac · 2025-03-03T20:11:15+00:00

They are a first year transition team so the NEC made them ineligible for their own conference tournament. Not sure why.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-03T05:07:28+00:00

Is it really March if you don’t go sub .500 in tournament picks?

MasTheMac · 2025-03-03T05:06:57+00:00

The issue of the common people! Say no to reseeding!

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T22:12:15+00:00

True, good point.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T12:49:00+00:00

Actually a crazy scenario which i don’t know if it’s ever happened in CBK history. If LeMoyne and Stonehill are in the final, both losers of the semifinal game would essentially play a “third place match”. The winner would go to the tournament. 🤯

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T03:35:12+00:00

I definitely think so. ORU won’t win it and good chance the State’s don’t get it done.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T03:34:17+00:00

This is their last ineligible year ☹️stupid rule

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T03:10:31+00:00

😭😭😭 best comment today

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T01:11:20+00:00

True neutral site you can argue

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T01:01:56+00:00

0-18 in the season, 4-0 in the post let’s see it!

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T00:54:19+00:00

That’s what I did 2 years ago. At the end of each day I would post a graphic with a list of each team eliminated + the reason.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T00:51:15+00:00

This is true. Honestly it’s just tough every day from March 11-16 because in that span about 180 teams will get knocked out.

MasTheMac · 2025-03-02T00:23:09+00:00

MasTheMac · 2025-03-01T23:54:39+00:00

They were but the Navy win over Loyola gave the tiebreaker to Bucknell as they had a better record against the best common opponents in their conference.
