The Hoops HD Report (Feb 19th)

We start off by taking a quick look at the Selection Committee’s Top 16, and comparing them to our Mock Committee’s last bracket. The two were pretty close, so we can’t say we have any major objections! After that we look at Jon Teitel’s latest bracket and discuss Wisconsin’s chances at staying as a protected seed despite the losses, and South Florida’s chances of getting inside the bubble.

After that, we run through all the major conferences and discuss how South Florida is now red hot in the American, how UConn may have put on the single most impressive performance with their blowout loss against a good Marquette team. Out in the Pac 12, Washington State has cracked the rankings for the first time since 2008 and Arizona is looking more and more like a solid #1 seed. The Big 12 is the strongest conference from top to bottom with as many as five teams who have chances at a protected seed. Kentucky had a huge win at Auburn and has completely turned things around after being in a bit of a tailspin before that. We discuss all that, and more!
