Bluejay Banter Bracketology (3/13/13)

College basketball is headed into the final stretch with Selection Sunday a few days away. Many play the role of Bracketologist predicting the field of 68. Tim Krueger, co-host of  both the Bluejay Banter radio show and of the new MVC Hoops Show is one such fan. Krueger has conducted his own bracket projections for years, even before ESPN’s Joe Lunardi gave such a practice the term Bracketology.

Leading up to Selection Sunday, Krueger will provide White & Blue Review his updated bracket predictions. Bluejay Banter can be heard every Monday from 6-7 PM on 590 AM, Omaha’s ESPN Radio.  The MVC Hoops show can be heard on local radio stations across the MVC six-state footprint.

The Bracket as of 3/13/13:

*Indicate Conference Auto-Bid

Krueger’s Notes on the Bracket:

There is so little that separates Tennessee,the last team in, and Virginia, the last team out, that these may continue to flip flop before Sunday. Virginia would have the spot if it weren’t for the horrid non conference schedule. Everybody ten and up is safe. Louisville edges out Kansas for the last number one spot.

The Jays are in at a seven seed. Still a possibility of a six if Colorado State, VCU or Wisconsin lose in the first round of their tournaments.

Last four in: Tennessee, LaSalle, Oregon, St. Mary’s

First four out: Virginia, Mississippi, Iowa, Baylor

Next four out: Alabama, Middle Tennessee St., Southern Mississippi, UMass
