Missouri Valley
#1 Seed – Belmont
Belmont is one Quad win away from being an actual At-Large
candidate. They were the best resume in
the Blind Resume post. Resume metrics
have them ahead of teams like Texas A&M and San Diego State. Predictive doesn’t like them as much. They are close but I don’t think they will
get an at-large if they lose during Arch Madness. Northern Iowa is going to be their toughest
test but I hope Belmont wins and takes a 5 seed down. The pick is Belmont.
Metro Atlantic
#1 Seed – Merrimack
Merrimack is the only team above 200 in KenPom and is the
only team from this conference that would be as high as a 15 seed. A couple teams can push Merrimack and I’m
going with Siena to get it done. Gerry
McNamara gets it done, wins a play in game as a 16 seed, then takes the
Syracuse job. The pick is Siena
West Coast
#1 Seed – Gonzaga
Another bracket that looks like a flying V. Gonzaga and St. Mary’s get byes to the
semi-finals. I’d love to see another
game between the these teams but Santa Clara is creeping around. I want 3 West Coast teams in the
Tournament. The pick: Santa Clara.
