Andy Katz’s Power 36: Predicting who’s in and out of the NCAA tournamnt Feb. 5

3. Virginia (3) …

12. NC State (16): Yes, I’m this high on the Wolfpack. And why not? NC State has some of the best wins in the ACC outside of Virginia. The Wolfpack continue to get great shelf life out of the neutral-court win over Arizona. The 18-point win over Notre Dame is the type of game the Wolfpack wouldn’t have won in the past few seasons. They were coming off the high of the road win at UNC. But they didn’t fall flat. Well, this week will be another test with a road game at Virginia Tech before hosting UNC in going for the season sweep.

16. Duke (11) …
18. North Carolina (17) …
23. Clemson (24) …
29. Miami (NR) …
30. Florida State (NR) …

Hmmmm….No Louisville

They’re on 78/78 brackets at the Bracket Matrix with an average see of 8.47.

I wonder what would be considered a Louisville signature win. They did beat Florida St. on the road. 0 – 6 vs top 25;
1 – 1 (26 – 50); 4 – 0 (51 – 100).

I think but am not sure that part of his list is predictive.

L’ville only has the one Top 50 win. But the first Dance Card of the season just came out today and they’re comfortably in (10 spots above the burst point).

There’s a lot of basketball left to be played, so its a little early to start penalizing teams for the lack of big wins. IIRC, in Sendek’s first trip to the NCAAT the only win they had against an NCAA team was #1 Maryland in the ACCT.

Louisville not looking too great tonight

The Erenge don’t look much better. They have players that make Cozell McQueen look like Tim Duncan shooting the basketball.
