2018 Arch Madness Seeding Probabilities

[chitown fanatic]

I would LOVE if it ended up

Loyola
Southern
Drake
ISUr
MSU
Bradley
(7-10)

I wouldn't be thrilled facing Drake but if you put Loyola, ISUr and Missouri St all on the other side, i'll take my chances with whoever you throw in front of us.

This. Word for word. sadly, it will be the matinee as although we will beat the trees who have nothing to play for...lusk wont beat uni at their place.

My prognostications have drake with 11 wins in 3rd

ISU with 10 in 4th

MO State with 9 wins in 5th.

BU with 9 wins in 6th getting edged out in the rpi tiebreaker.


Crazy to think we all have 2 games to go and so much is still up in the air

I think in this scenario Bradley still gets the 5th seed, as I think they will still have a higher RPI(probably), right now they are about 10 slots higher than MO State. I think the only way Bradley ends in the 6th spot is with two losses.

Rpi forecast shows Missouri State rising to 103 if they go 9-9

While Bradley finishing at 9-9 would be at 109.

But a lot can happen, and who really knows who will finish weigh what records in this crazy valley.

The final 32 scenarios. As always, this was fun. Good luck in St. Louis!

Drake and Bradley may very well continue their Arch Madness tradition, except as the 4/5 game on Friday instead of Thursday.

Bradley vs ISU in St. Louis would certainly give this matchup a kick in the ass that it needs. You could probably even start calling it a rivalry again.

Lusk SO needs to be fired.

[chitown fanatic]

yes, preseason joke pick of the year MSU...Lusk is gone and bears will be bad for quite a while in aftermath...as for cpac...can you say PUSH??!!! Lookin like money might stay in the pockets for both of us barring surprises Saturday.

[BirdsEyeView]

Not so sure MSU will be bad long-term. They are bad short-term because of Lusk. Get a competent coach in there and they have the tools to become relevant again.

I feel bad for Alize, what a waste of a talented player. BUT, who knows...I am really hoping my Birds avoid Missouri State or Indy State in the 3v6 game. Anybody with fast, athletic guards kill our poor perimeter defense (see Timmer last night).

there will be no 3-6 for ISU....no way Loyola lays down with so much on the line and drakes not losing to valpo...its matinee vs us and battle royale at 230
