Wednesday Night's NCAA Tournament Outlook
> Live on-location in Atlanta, GA at the SEC Tournament
Well after a long day of watching, listening, and writing about basketball, I'm back at the hotel... watching, listening, and writing about more basketball. Only this time, it's not just about the SEC. I have put together my first NCAA Tournament projections of the week using a simple S-Curve. The S-Curve is a basic list of the NCAA Teams in order of how they will be seeded in the tournament. Using the S-Curve, we can get a better feel for what seed each team will get.
Listed below is each team, their S-Curve number, their probable NCAA Tournament seed, their record, their RPI, and their next opponent.
Note: All records and RPI are through Wednesday's games.
Also, this list does NOT include teams on the BUBBLE. I will keep up with the Bubble Project in a different blog and once teams work themselves into my field of 65, they will be listed on the list.
