TAS Bracketology 2014-15

The consensus seems to be UE and Loyola are too far off the pace to matter. I have Wichita now on the 4 and UNI on the 7, so I don't have any quibbles with him.

Seems he also agrees this will be big years for the Big 12 and Big East. Big East in particular will be surprising to some here, but take consolation in the fact that everyone's going to have a party in that conference and Creighton won't be invited

It will be only mildly ironic that Creighton wanted in a conference that would get multiples of bids every year. And they won't be getting them. I'm rooting for the Big East to get a ton of bids. It will be funny. Plus, Big East teams are very beatable. Many of them are good, tournament-caliber good, but they like to think they are better than they are, especially compared to good tournament-caliber teams from leagues like the Valley. Makes for a fun March.

Palm got off his Illinois State love pretty quickly

Also, this has zero consequence on the league, but I find interesting: RPI forecast now projects the MVC careening all the way to 12th in conference RPI. Behind all the usual suspects (MW, A-10, WCC, et al), but also the MAC. Which I don't buy because their collective SoS is so terrible, but well, math. *shrug*

New Lunardi bracket out: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

WSU with a tough 5 seed draw against a good Green Bay team, would face Iowa State in the next round.

UNI with a 6 seed against winner of NC State/St. Johns, Maryland waiting in the next round.

I would love to see WSU match up with Iowa State in the NCAA Tournament. It seems like every Iowa State fan I've ever encountered has been very cocky and, for a team that's in a conference that's been won by the same school 10 times in a row, I don't understand why they're so stuck up. Maybe you people from Iowa can correct me, just my experience. I'm sure some label WSU fans the same way.. but at least we've had a good amount of success the past few years. If some other team won the MVC 10 years in a row, I don't know if I'd be bragging.

Iowa State fans are the most delusional bunch on the planet. Giant case of little brother syndrome and they have to compare everything they do to Iowa.

They legitimately think they're going to win multiple national titles in the next 5 years. It's delusion.

Their board does nothing but tear down UNI and The Valley. You know, the same thing they get passed at Iowa fans for.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't UNI beaten Iowa state several times head to head in the last 5-6 years?

Winning record vs both the last 13meetings with each

I believe we've also won 4 or 5 straight in Hilton against the ridiculous 'Hilton Magic'. Too bad we won't get to play there anymore.

Btw, Hilton Magic should be defined as falling behind inferior teams and coming back to win games that should have been won easily. Kansas is like 21-2 in their last 23 visits.
