Kind of an essential game for us. A win likely secures the 2 line, a loss and we're probably a 3. The line was 8.5, then moved up to 9.5 but it's down to 7.5 now. Personally I don't think we'll cover, this has the making of a very close game that comes down to the wire. If we both play like we...

Win today and I think we're pretty comfortable on the 2 line. If ISU also loses it's a lock. If they win it'll still be a question but I favor us. If we somehow win tomorrow too we're absolutely guaranteed a 2. I don't really see a 1 as a possibility unless some crazy set of circumstances...

I generally agree but I think if Wisconsin stays a Quad 2 loss, and a team like Iowa State doesn't have any Q2 losses, it should be noted by the committee that we had 2 starters out and lost by 2 in OT. It does seem like our singular Q2 loss is holding us below them as of now.

My key observation looking at most bracket projections is the drop-off in the middle of the 3 seeds, aka the top 10. The top 10 (though I'd personally swap Florida for Nebraska) are all really tough. I think Nebraska and MSU are on a downward trajectory and Gonzaga isn't proven. TTU is pretty...
