Final Bracketology: 3/15/26

 Happy Selection Sunday! Here's a final bracketology - a few comments on things happening today below that. BHG Bracket Predictions Final Bracketology 1.) I assume Arkansas defeats Vandy today. If they don't, expect Vandy to stay at a 3 seed and Arkansas could switch with Kansas to be a 5.  2.) VCU would be in with a loss today to Dayton - SMU is under the guillotine, so to speak.  3.) Yale loss brings Cal Baptist to a 12 seed, Hawaii to a 13, Kennesaw St to a 14, and makes Penn a 15. 4.) USF is out with a loss to Wichita State today - however, they would be my fourth/fifth team out, just above Auburn. 13 losses in quad one will not cover that 3rd SOS rank.  Other pertinent seeding info: 1.) BYU is the top 6 seed, so they can go to a Thursday site with no qualms.  2.) Enjoy Duke - UK in round 2, along with a possible Cyhawk. 3.) Louisville has Eight quad 1 wins, but nearly all of them except the away win at Miami - FL and home win against UK - are rather weak. I...

2026 college basketball in Louisville: a midseason outlook for all five men's CBB programs

Happy New Year everyone! Since it’s the new year I might as well give a midseason outlook for all 5 teams in Jefferson County - please note my knowledge on some of these teams, particularly Boyce and Simmons (since I've only seen one game this year for each of these teams), may be diminished in comparison. If you're wondering why this post exists, I (this blog's author) am a student at UofL - I try to watch as many local college games as possible if I have time, so here's a little midseason outlook based off what I've seen so far. Louisville (11-2, 1-0 ACC) We’ll start with the P4 team. They have three Quad 1 wins, and no losses outside quad one.  For now, the team’s anywhere between a 3 and 5 seed for the NCAA tournament, and it seems the worst the team can do is matching their 8 seed mark they made last year. They have a massive weakness to a powerful/physical 4 or 5, however - Kalkbrenner took advantage of this last year, and Trevon Brazile has already taken adva...
