Who to root for the final regular season week

Dayton and St. Joes lost

As did Northwestern, LSU and Miami. Colorado State is the only one left today, and they are losing at home.

Are any of the 5 losers definetly out now? Besides conference tournaments results, of course.

IMO St. Joes and LSU are out 100%. Dayton is most likely out as well. Miami still has a shot. And NW, who freaking knows. Most overrated team IMO.

Northwestern made a run and tied the game against a very good Ohio State team with only 7 seconds left. If Northwestern loses to Iowa, then I think they're out.

One not as important game Thursday:
Mar 1 Michigan @ Illinois

Just need our Quackers to win.

What a great second half from UNLV against Colorado State.

Got quite a bit of help, now time for our duckies to do their part!

I guess Oregon isn't a bubble team anymore?

In addition to the game above ^, Virginia and Washington play today. Having both win can only help us.

Nor does the Pac-12 have an apparent automatic lock in his list either.

Mar 2 BYU vs San Diego (Las Vegas, NV)

Arizona still over Oregon, but Oregon is climbing up. I really feel like 3 more wins is the magic number.. It'll be tough but we can do it.

Arizona RPI 68
Oregon RPI 44

Oregon better record
Oregon won head-head on the road

Go figure. I feel like when it comes down to picking teams, the committee will want to send 3 Pac-12 teams in. I really think Arizona losing to ASU could be our biggest help for out ticket in.

There is absolutely no reason Arizona should be in right now over Oregon.

None of this matters, we can beat every team in the Pac 12 tourney. Win and we are in, I also think this team could surprise and make a run in the NCAA if we get in. The Pac 12 needs all our teams to make a run to the sweet 16 to maybe regain some respect.

I hope the Pac 12 does well, but I would put the over-under for NCAA tournament victories for the Pac at 2.

Assuming the Ducks finish the season with another 4 wins in the PAC, what sort of seeding will they get?

To gain any level of respect, the PAC needs to get more than 1 team into the Sweet 16, plus land at least 1 in the Elite 8, and have great OOC performance next year. Anything less probably gives the pundits ammunition for continued abuse.

Maybe a #6
