I’m fine with that. If you’re a midmajor hoping to pull some upsets, being a 12 or 13 seed is better than being an 8 or 9. Win game 1 as a 12 or 13, and you play the 4/5 seed. Win game 1 as an 8 or 9, you’re rewarded with playing the 1 seed in game 2.

This tool allows you to play with the past results and project future results to see where we (or any team) would fare on Selection Sunday. Fill in the results of games and see where we end up, or change past results (we win in Milwaukee!!) and see where we'd be.

If we had beat Milwaukee, we'd have a shot at an at-large. If we run the table we make it to an 11 seed.

This site also has another feature that projects odds of reaching certain benchmarks. It says that right now we have a 28.3% chance of reaching the Round of 64, and a 1.4% chance of getting an at-large bid. It also says we have a 1.8% chance of reaching the Sweet 16.

I mean if we're a 16 seed, I'll only be pissed about it on selection Sunday. Up until then, I'll take any of the 68 spots in the tournament.

Nice find JCT... lots of fun stuff you can do with that thing. Overall that program really likes our chances of pulling this off!!!! Sooooo exciting!!!

I would think that 1.4% chance of getting an at-large has to be similar to our chance of winning out, right? Looks like our toughest games left in order are:

1/31 - @ Bradley (50%)
2/10 - @ ISUb (52%)
2/21 - @ SIU (53%)
1/24 - @ Drake (58%)

Shows that the computers still do not like Drake very much. It projects our record at 23-7 (13-5). I think we can finish 15-3 or 14-4. Exciting times to be a Rambler fan.

I am excited about the prospects of getting to the NCAAs, but I am willing to bet there is going to be at least one more bad loss along the way. I don't see them winning all four road games and there will probably be another home loss. These are fun times though, being able to talk about this in January.

Looks like Dan Bernstein hacked into BigJoe's Ramblermania account!?!?! Hey Dan.... stop trying to rain on our parade!!! Don't you have something better to do?

I just did this again with Loyola winning out and then factored in winning the MVC tourney and still only an 11 seed. This run is fun as hell, but they really do need to win the tourney!! Either that or we can all be pissed off on Selection Sunday like Illinois State last year.

This thing is fun. Things look a lot better with Ws next to Milwaukee and Indiana State... Isn't the committee supposed to be factoring in major injuries now?? Help us!
