T-minus one day until we have a bracket. Get excited, people! Not going to spend much time on introductions today, since I got my big full scrub out of the way yesterday, and last night’s outcomes only resulted in a handful of minor seeding/location changes. If the committee continues last year’s trend of not takingContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/11/23”

In about 50 hours, we will have a bracket. The end of the road is coming, folks. The selection committee has already started its deliberations, selecting and seeding teams day by day, and will only make minor changes from here on out. With that all occurring, I had to be as thorough as I possiblyContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/10/23”

As the results of champ week pour in, I’ll be posting a new update every morning until Selection Sunday. These explanations will be a bit more expedited, but still feel free to comment your questions! Also rememberContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/7/23”

In less than a week, we will have a bracket. The good news: the best three-and-a-half weeks of the calendar year are within arm’s reach. You can already smell the madness cooking in the conference tournament games that we’ve had the fortune to see go down to the wire and finish in the dramatic mannerContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/6/23”

The end of days is approaching. Not the apocalypse, of course, but Selection Sunday, now just a week and a day away. Kind of hard to believe, isn’t it? With the selection committee set to meet next week in order to start building its bracket, the group of teams that will be selected to playContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/4/23”

This. Is. March. The greatest month of the year. The time of year when thousands of college basketball games played over the past four months deliver the payoff. Conference tournaments. Selection Sunday. March Madness. We’ve made it. Only 12 days remain until we figure out which 68 teams are going to play in the greatestContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/1/23”
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/27/23
If this past weekend’s slate of complete and utter madness doesn’t convince you that college basketball is the greatest sport on earth, then there’s no saving you. Saturday alone featured an 11-point comeback with less than a minute remaining, at least three enormous buzzer beaters with heavy postseason implications, and nine ranked teams losing inContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/27/23”
Bauertology / NITology: 2/25/23
Can you taste it? March is almost here. The month of madness itself is only four days away. But the madness will actually be coming back into our lives a little sooner, as the first conference tournament kicks off on Monday, Feb. 27. Yep, postseason basketball is only two nights’ sleep away. I don’t knowContinue reading “Bauertology / NITology: 2/25/23”

Think like the committee. Think like the committee. That’s something kept telling myself as I worked on putting together my first post-top-16-preview bracket. If you’re like me, it’s very easy to get bogged down in the numbers. So-and-so has a higher mark in these metrics, look at how they compare in Quad 1 win totals,Continue reading “Bauertology: 2/22/23”

Ah, the top-16 preview. A February tradition that allows bracketologists near and far to compare their season’s worth of forecasting with what the selection committee has in mind. It’s an opportunity to take pride in your work, having correctly aligned yourself with the correct criteria, or undergo an important learning experience if you’re off theContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/20/23”
