Scott & Galen preview the 2012 NCAA tournament with a focus on Indiana and their first round match-up, along with their possible games in rounds two and three. They also talk about the committee awarding IU a 4 seed along with sending us out to Portland.
(This was taped on Sunday, so the times of the games were not decided when they were discussing those. So we do get some points for being right about that!)

On this edition of the Bracketology Show, we break down the bracket and talk about the selection process. We weren’t happy with some of the committee decisions, including the bizarre decision to include Iona over Drexel (or Oral Roberts), the equally inscrutable decision to take BYU instead of Northwestern, and the seeding issues at various parts of the S-curve. We spend an hour talking about the overall process, then dive into our tournament projections, including upset specials (Belmont! Harvard!), sleeper mid-seed teams, and Final Four picks.
On the last regular-season edition of CrimsonCast Live, Galen and Matt talk Big Ten Tournament, NCAA Tournament, and overall expectations for the team moving forward. We also have a lengthy discussion about the Big Ten awards and what caused them to end up the way they did. Guests on the program include Mike Pegram from Peegs.com, and Connor O’Gara of the Indiana Daily Student. We talk with both about the emergence of Verdell Jones as a “super-sub” of sorts, how the Big Ten tournament will be much different than the past few years, and what the NCAA ramifications are of that tournament for the Hoosiers.
The Bracketology Show is back for another week, as we enter Championship Week in college basketball. No guests this week, as the guys focus all their energies on breaking down the remaning 250+ teams vying for automatic and at-large bids. The show starts off with some talk of two small conference favorites going down prematurely in their conference tournaments, and whether either team has a chance at an at-large bid. We then switch the topic to Michigan State, Ohio State, and the Big Ten as a whole, and get really excited about the prospect of some of these B1G tournament games. Other topics discussed include our picks for the teams who stand to gain or lose the most seeding-wise in conference tournament play, the merits of Tennessee as an at-large, and our “bold predictions” for the week.
Time for another CrimsonCast Live, as we get set for the big game against Michigan State (and the equally big game this Sunday versus Purdue). Derek Schultz from 1260 WNDE joins the program, as do a couple of Michigan State callers. We talk about the tournament implications of these games, the surprising trends that the Spartans have experienced at Assembly Hall, and the nature of the program that Tom Izzo has built at Michigan State. We also talk about the importance of Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls in this game, as well as the consistency of Cody Zeller. All that and more, on this edition of CrimsonCast Live.
On the latest edition of the Bracketology Show, Galen and the Committee break down the tidal wave of poor road losses from the past week, while previewing the upcoming conference tournaments. Our first guest, Troy Machir from NBC Sports’ CollegeBasketballTalk, speaks with us about the teams flying under the radar, the players that could emerge to an unknowing country in March Madness, and the conference tournament he’d most be interested in attending.
We’re then joined by John Gasaway of Basketball Prospectus and ESPN Insider. John talks with us about the NCAA’s media selection committee process and what he learned from that. We then start talking about some of the notable teams on the national scene, including New Mexico’s poor last week and Kentucky’s level of excellence. We wrap up by talking some Big Ten, including whether Illinois is still in the picture for an at-large bid.
Following that, we talk about some of the big conferences and where they’re at right now, before previewing this week’s conference tournament play. We also give you an expanded version of “Games You Must Watch”. All that and more, on this week’s episode of the Bracketology Show!
On this edition of CrimsonCast LIVE, Galen and Matt are joined by Kevin Bowen of the IDS, who shares his perspective on the recent loss to Iowa, the struggles that the team’s upperclassmen are having, and what the team needs to do in order to be successful at Minnesota this weekend. Also joining the show are several callers, with topics ranging from the types of questions that Tom Crean gets in press conferences to the issues of Hulls and Watford moving forward this season. Thanks for listening!
The Bracketology Show is back, and what a show it was! We were joined by two awesome guests – Mike Miller of NBC Sports, who talked with us about winners and losers from the Bracket Busters, the current #1 seed situation, and the most entertaining conference tournaments coming up this March. We were also joined by statistical guru Ken Pomeroy, who gave us his unique and interesting takes on a variety of topics, including New Mexico’s standing in his ratings system, the current state of quantitative college basketball statistics, and the team he things is flying the most under the radar for the tournament (note: this one may very well surprise you).
We also take in the full smorgasboard of college basketball, talking everything from South Florida’s at-large chances to Drexel and Long Beach State’s standing in the S-curve hierarchy. That and much much more, only on the Bracketology Show!
