Espn Analysts React To Ncaa Bracket Reveal, Selection Sunday Analysis And Bracket Picks

... just about anybody. So, the separating factor for me is who can you beat? They say anybody can win on any given day. Syracuse had more given days than anybody at the end of the line, and last year, that got rewarded…This committee clearly didn’t value that… That’s a rough one. Lawson: I had Syracuse as the first team on the bubble that would be in because I value top 50 wins – I value them. And they’re one of the most determining factors for me on the bubble so I’m surprised they didn’t make it in… No one’s winning a beauty contest on the bubble. Williams: I’m absolutely shocked about Syracuse…They can beat anybody in the country. They beat Duke at home. Bilas: The messages [the Committee] send year after year, they’re not consistent. Bracketology presented by Allstate. Bilas: Some of the seeds didn’t make any sense, especially when you look at the two line.

Hollis said Atlantic 10 champ Rhode Island , which beat VCU on Sunday, was in the field as an at-large team, regardless of the Sunday's result. But the win meant Rhode Island was not going to be in the First Four (automatic qualifiers can't be in the First Four at Dayton). Ironically, Hollis said, that meant in-state rival Providence was moved to a No. 11 in Dayton in the First Four. But Hollis said there were no moves of seeding due to geography once the 1 to 68 seed list was set. NCAA officials said there was a switch in opponents with the First Four due to a scheduling quirk. Originally, the committee had Providence playing Wake Forest and USC playing Kansas State. But a Providence play-in win would have meant a matchup with Creighton in a 6-seed vs. 11-seed game, and teams ...

No. 7 seeds are 11-5 outright against No. 10 seeds since 2013, with favorites going 10-6. No. 7 seeds that were favored have been even more successful, going 10-1 outright and 7-4 ATS in that span.

In that span, 14 9-seeds have been favored in this matchup, and only three have covered. Last year didn't quite live up to that trend, as all four 9-seeds were favored, going 3-1 outright and 2-2 ATS. When the line is within three points, the underdog has covered all 10 times since 2010, including last season when Saint Joseph's covered ...
