People are pushing back against NCAA expansion, but you don't get this far down the conversation without it eventually happening. I've argued it before, but the right thing to do is make a move to an 80-team tournament. This is what the current S-Curve and bracket could look like. 🧵

Today at @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social we ran 10,000 simulations of the final three #mubb games to determine what seed we can expect based on those final results. We also update our #bracketology on the eve of March. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/02/crac...

It will be March in less than 24 hours! Do you know where your #bracketology experts are? (Hint: here...they're right here)

Houston & Florida are both 1-seeds in any other year, but not this year. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social looks at the historic strength atop the bracket, as well as diving into the difficulties of placing BYU. We also have a new bracket & S-Curve. #bracketology www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/02/crac...

We have the official Top-16, which means post-Reveal takeaways and a full S-Curve & bracket update. Where is #mubb? Are wins or metrics more important? Will the SEC get 14 teams in? @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social has your answers. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/02/crac...

Florida being a 1-seed means the committee included data beyond Monday, because they wouldn't have been there otherwise. Likely means Michigan will also be in this top-16.

The NCAA will release their top-16 a week from today, but how predictive are those seeds of tournament success? @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social breaks down the history of every top-16 exact seed, along with an updated #bracketology. #mubb www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/02/crac...

In 2022, @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social noted disparaties with ESPN's BPI metric that favored teams with ESPN media rights contracts. Today, it looks like those disparities have been corrected. We dig into that & a new bracket on #NationalMarquetteDay. #mubb www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/02/crac...

#mubb sits pretty as a 2-seed, but what about the rest of the Big East? @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social looks at what the league's NCAA contenders need to do to secure bids. We also have an interesting bracket for the Marquette & a new S-Curve. #bracketology www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/01/crac...

#mubb is 18-3 and it's the best start of Shaka Smart's career. He was 17-3 at VCU in 2015, but lost game 21. Marquette has its best record since 2019 when they started 19-3.

Not many people like conference realignment, but for the Selection Committee trying to follow bracketing rules the mega-conferences guarantee those will be broken. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social breaks down the bracketing brain busters. #bracketology #mubb www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/01/crac...

This is genuinely wild. I knew there were many closed, but didn't know it was this bad. #mubb

If you enjoy bracketology and the NCAA selection process, this is a must read from @bauertology.bsky.social. #BRCT is the only metric I've seen that actually sorts & ranks teams close to where I tend to have them. It's brilliant. bauertology.com/2025/01/16/b...

#mubb are 6-0 in the Big East but close wins are hurting their 1-seed case. @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social touches on 1-seeds, Big East bids, & the bubble. #bracketology www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/01/crac...

Today #mubb checks in at #6 overall, which had @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social wondering what it would take for Marquette to earn its first 1-seed. Spoiler: it won't be easy. That and a new S-Curve & bracket. www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/01/crac...

The Big East's poor November was aided by a strong December, but will it result in more NCAA bids? We have the first bracket of the year & @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social had 13/16 Selection Sunday protected seeds in the last January's initial top-16. #mubb www.crackedsidewalks.com/2025/01/crac...

Jim Larrañaga is retiring midseason at Miami according to Michelle Kaufman. Crazy to think how Miami was at the forefront of NIL & looked like a basketball juggernaut a couple years ago, now the wheels have totally fallen off. Cautionary tale of the NIL era. www.miamiherald.com/sports/colle...

#mubb opens conference play with a win and on Saturday travel to Xavier seeking the program's first 2-0 start to Big East play since 2012-13 when Vander Blue led Marquette to the Big East regular season title and Elite 8. The 11 year gap since the last 2-0 is the longest in the Big East.

Wasn't able to get this into the @crackedsidewalks.bsky.social article, but I love this steal from Kam. As he fights over & under screens while switching defensively, his arms are always out. It's movement with active motion. Leads to a deflection & steal. Just well coached defense. #mubb
