The 5 most important decisions facing the NCAA Men’s Tournament Selection Committee – Yahoo Sports

Sometime before 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, the NCAA tournament selection committee will send CBS a completed clip to unveil on its selection show.

Here’s a look at the key decisions the committee needs to make until then:

1. Who should get the final #1 seed?

While three of the NCAA tournament’s four No. 1 seedlings would almost certainly go to Kansas, Alabama and Houston in any order, it wasn’t clear until late Saturday night who would join that trio on the top seeding list.

It wasn’t until UCLA’s potentially game-winning 3-pointer rattled off the rim that Purdue could feel good about his chances. The Bruins had a strong case for the last seeded No. 1 until they fell two points short in a tense, hard-fought Pac-12 title game against Arizona.

Purdue

28-5, 16-5 Big Ten | Net: 5 | KenPom: 6 | Q1: 10-4 | Q2: 8-1 | Q3, Q4 losses: 0

Marquee Wins: Marquette, Gonzaga, Duke, MSU (2), Illinois, West Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin

Casualties: Indiana (2), in Maryland, Northwest, Rutgers

Purdue played like the best team in the country for months as they defeated Marquette, destroyed Duke and Gonzaga, and rolled over their opponents in January’s Big Ten. Then February came, and with it some worrying red flags, most notably the Boilermakers’ backcourt in freshman struggling to deflect jump shots or attending to basketball against teams with tall, athletic fullbacks.

Credit Purdue for rebounding from a worrying stretch of four losses in six games. The Boilermakers won four straight games in the Big Ten title game against Penn State on Sunday.

UCLA

29-5, 18-2 Pac-12 | Net: 4| KenPom: 2 | Q1: 8-5 | Q2: 9-0 | Q3, Q4 losses: 0

Marquee wins: Arizona, in Maryland, Kentucky, USC, Arizona State (2), Oregon (3)

Losses: Arizona (2), Baylor, Illinois, at USC

Fueled by the nation’s most stifling defense, UCLA won a mediocre Pac-12 by four games over second-placed Arizona and USC. The undermanned Bruins then overcame injuries to two of their four key players to come close to winning the Pac-12 tournament, falling to Arizona 61-59.

The story goes on

UCLA’s marquee win streak isn’t as top-heavy as Purdue’s, but the Bruins defeated Kentucky on a neutral court and gave Maryland their only home loss of the season by as many as 27 points. Mick Cronin’s high-ranking team are also unbeaten all season at the Pauley Pavilion and unbeaten outside of Quadrant 1.

Texas

26-8, 12-6 Great 12 | Net: 9| KenPom: 7 | Q1: 14-8 | Q2: 4-0 | Q3, Q4 losses: 0

Tent wins: Kansas (2), Gonzaga, Creighton, Baylor, TCU (2), at Kansas State, Iowa State, West Virginia (2)

Losses: in Kansas, Tennessee, Baylor, TCU, Iowa State, Illinois, Kansas State, Texas Tech

Then there’s Texas, which latched onto the #1 seed discussion by beating Kansas on the final day of the regular season in Austin and then repeating the feat eight days later in the Big 12 title game. The Longhorns have 14 wins in the first quadrant this season, behind only Kansas.

What makes Texas a long shot to overtake both Purdue and UCLA is its eight losses, one more than any previous No. 1 seed had in selection Sunday. However, none of those losses are outside of Quadrant 1. Only one, at Texas Tech, came against a non-NCAA tournament team.

With Purdue advancing to the Big Ten title game on Saturday afternoon and UCLA coming up a shot short against Arizona on Saturday night, it would be an easy surprise if the Boilermakers didn’t claim the final No. 1 seed. UCLA and Texas are confident they’re no worse than No. 2.

2. Has Kansas cost themselves the No. 1 spot overall?

Instead of establishing itself as the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament Saturday night, Kansas may have left the door open for another contender.

It all depends on which element the committee values ​​the most: your metrics? Or who did you hit?

Despite being throttled by Texas in the Big 12 title game on Saturday night, Kansas still go into Selection Sunday with 17 Quadrant 1 wins this season, three more than any other team in the nation. The Jayhawks (27-7) defeated Duke, Indiana and Kentucky in non-league games to win the regular-season overall title in the toughest conference in the country.

Seven losses is unusually high for a potential No. 1 overall pick, but the teams that beat Kansas are not only bans to reach the NCAA tournament, but are also expected to earn the top-six seeds. The only other thing about the Jayhawks’ resume is that the metrics don’t love them. They are 6th in the NCAA NET rankings, #9 in KenPom and 12th in Bart Torvik’s T rankings.

In contrast, Houston is No. 1 on all key metrics coming up in Sunday’s matchup against Memphis in the American Athletic Conference title game. The Cougars (31-2) also have the fewest losses of any team in the nation, although one of those is an ugly home loss in the 3rd quadrant to the mediocre Temple.

While Houston doesn’t have league wins over Virginia, Saint Mary’s, Oregon and Oral Roberts, the Cougars have just six Quadrant 1 wins all season. The only other NCAA tournament caliber team in the US is Memphis, which swept Houston during the regular season.

The other potential No. 1 overall team is Alabama, which held that spot when the committee unveiled its bracket preview three weeks ago. Despite receiving unwanted attention from the Brandon Miller scandal, the Crimson Tide have lost only once since then, falling in their regular-season finale at Texas A&M.

Alabama enters a rematch with Texas A&M in the title game of Sunday’s SEC tournament and is 28-5 overall with 11 wins in the 1st quadrant, no losses outside the top quadrant and a top-3 finish in both the NET and KenPom. The Crimson Tide claimed a head-to-head victory in Houston. A 24-point loss at sub-.500 Oklahoma is the only notable blemish on her resume.

So, will Kansas secure first place overall and a geographic-friendly path through the Kansas City Regional? The Jayhawks remain the favorite in my eyes due to their boatload of marquee wins, but Alabama and Houston both have arguments, too.

3. Should key injuries affect the top teams’ seedings?

During an appearance on CBS Saturday afternoon, NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt popped a question about how key injuries could affect a team’s seeding.

Gavitt said committee members “are in regular contact with the schools and the conferences to obtain as much accurate and up-to-date information as possible.”

“They take player availability into account,” Gavitt said, “but they won’t overreact, especially if there isn’t a large group of games to consider when a team is playing without those players.” It is not the committee’s job to project how a team will perform without one or more players.”

That the committee isn’t overreacting would be welcome news for a handful of elite teams who have lost hitters to injuries in recent weeks.

UCLA lost elite fullback Jaylen Clark to a season-ending hamstring injury eight days ago and esteemed shot blocker Adem Bona to a shoulder injury on Friday night. Tennessee lost starting point guard and top playmaker Zakai Zeigler to a cruciate ligament tear earlier this month. Texas played the entire Big 12 tournament without Timmy Allen, the third-best scorer, and Kansas lost Kevin McCullar to back spasms in the Big 12 semifinals. Houston watched star guard Marcus Sasser suffer an apparent groin injury in the American semifinals.

While leaders Cincinnati were famously demoted to second seeding in 2000 after national player of the year Kenyon Martin tore his cruciate ligament, subsequent selection committees have been extremely cautious about penalizing teams with injured players. Even so, coaches are reluctant to disclose the extent of key injuries ahead of Selection Sunday — particularly coaches who were part of those 2,000 Cincinnati employees.

When asked by reporters about Bona’s status Friday night, UCLA coach Mick Cronin replied with a smile, “Think I’d tell you?”

4. Will the committee reward Duke and other conference tournament climbers?

How high in the bracket can Duke climb after his run to the ACC tournament title? That depends on how the committee responds to criticism it received last year for appearing to be seeding too early and not giving enough weight to conference tournament performance.

Duke was already up to a predicted number 6 or 7 by the time he entered the ACC tournament. The rising Blue Devils had won 9 of their 11 games – and one of those two losses was the game in Virginia where Kyle Filipowski was deprived of a chance to win the game at the free-throw line.

At the ACC tournament, Duke confirmed it was peaking at the right time, edging out three consecutive tournament-caliber NCAA teams on consecutive nights. The Blue Devils defeated Pittsburgh and fended off Miami before avenging their regular-season loss to Virginia with a 59-49 win in Saturday night’s title game.

Where is Duke? With a 26-8 record, predictions hovering around No. 20 and a résumé to rival that of planned No. 5 seeds like Texas A&M, San Diego State, Saint Mary’s and Miami. The Blue Devils beat Xavier and Iowa in non-league games, finished in first place in a game with poor ACC, and then played some of their best basketball games in winning their conference tournament.

If the selection committee puts more emphasis on the results of the weekend conference tournaments this year, Duke has an excellent chance of becoming a dangerous No. 5, maybe even the very last No. 4. If the seed performed on Thursday and Friday remains largely unchanged, Then expect the Blue Devils to be an undermanned No. 6.

Duke isn’t the only team hoping their conference tournament performance will dramatically improve their seeding. SEC finalist Texas A&M is hoping for a similar jump to No. 5, while surprise Big Ten finalist Penn State will look to go from the bubble to an 8-9 game.

5. Is Vanderbilt in or out after his late season surge?

When Vanderbilt lost by 57 points in Alabama on Jan. 31, Jerry Stackhouse tore into his struggling team. He said he would make roster changes if the 10-12 Commodores didn’t start showing more effort and selflessness.

Vanderbilt responded by winning 10 of their last 12 games, including two wins over Kentucky and wins over Mississippi State, Auburn and Tennessee. The Commodores (20-14) are the 30th best team in the country as of February 1, according to Bart Torvik’s T-Rankings.

If the committee took the 68 teams playing the best basketball on Selection Sunday, Vanderbilt would be banned. The problem is that the committee grades all work, which means the Commodores’ early home losses to Grambling and Southern Miss will work against them, as will their No. 79 NET ranking and No. 80 KenPom ranking.

Vanderbilt’s 10-11 record in Quadrant 1-2 games compares favorably to other bubble teams, especially considering that seven of those wins come against opponents likely to make the NCAA tournament. The trio of Commodores from quadrants 3 and 4, on the other hand, is the largest of all bubble teams alongside Rutgers.

Unless the committee disqualifies Vanderbilt for his terrible advanced metrics, Vanderbilt will have an outside shot at a spot in the First Four. But anyone who thinks the Commodores’ strong finish is definitely enough needs to get acquainted with 2022 Texas A&M.

League 1: Alianza Lima celebrates in matute

League 1 Alianza Lima celebrates in matute

By: Luis Imana

After almost a month, Alianza Lima returned to play an official game at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium after beating Cusco FC 2-0 on Matchday 8 of the Apertura tournament.

With the offensive power that they have gained for this season, the blue and whites started looking for the longed-for goal together. But the ambiguity in the decision-making process in the last few meters frustrated the attempts of the “intimate”.

The Cusqueños tried to play evenly against Alianza in the first leg and created some dangerous situations in the opposition area.

Guillermo Salas’ lead needed time to break through Daniel Ferreyra’s fence, but the reward came after 42 minutes, thanks to a corner kick taken advantage of by Santiago García, who lunged at goal to push the ball towards the nets and open the rating.

The two-time national champion came out of the plugin more composed and started to control the match. That collective superiority was reflected again in the 52nd minute when the referee awarded a penalty to the hosts after Federico Alonso grabbed Pablo Sabbag.

Andrés Andrade was responsible for the 12-step goal to make it 2-0, which also marked his first official goal as a player for the Victorian team.

With victory practically assured, Alliance of Lima was responsible for turning the ball while Cusco FC showed little reaction for much of the second half. Pablo Peirano’s team came out with a final attack in the closing minutes, but the strong blue and white defense and Franco Saravia managed to keep their goal intact.

With this result, the “Confidants” added their fourth straight win in the Apertura and finished level with tournament leaders Deportivo Garcilaso on 12 points.

The team from Cusco, on the other hand, ended their streak of three consecutive wins and is fifth in the competition with 9 points.

With a good present at the start of the Apertura, Alianza prepares to face Sport Huancayo the next day.

Cueva was presented in Matute

Before the clash between Alianza Lima and Cusco FC, all of Alejandro Villanueva’s spectators witnessed Christian Cueva’s presentation. “I wanted to be with you all. Very excited. I was here eight years ago and I have a debt to pay. I hope we do great things. On to the triple championship,” said ‘Aladino’ in the middle of the field, accompanied by his family.

Incredible Stephen Curry fuels Warriors win over Bucks ESPN

‘Incredible’ Stephen Curry fuels Warriors win over Bucks – ESPN

Kendra AndrewsESPN1:39 AM ET3 minute read

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry brought the ball down midfield with the Milwaukee Bucks’ Jevon Carter hitting him straight in the face. Curry accelerated and then quickly stopped at the top of the 3-point arc, causing Carter to slide a few feet.

Curry had just enough room to launch a 3rd bang.

The shot tied the score of the Warriors’ game against Milwaukee with 19 seconds remaining in regulation time. And Curry was mean as he walked to the bank – the stoic look never left his face afterwards.

“I was tired,” Curry said. “Walk slowly to the bench, use the full three-minute time-out. Don’t scream because that requires oxygen. Save energy.”

Curry scored 36 points on Saturday and fueled the Warriors to their 125-116 overtime win. Twenty-two of his points came in the fourth quarter and overtime – shooting 8-of-11, including 4-of-7 at 3-pointers. He scored 11 points in the last two minutes of regulation (all but two of his points in the fourth quarter).

But his most important game arguably came 17 seconds after his 3 leveled the score. With 2.2 seconds left on the rule, Jrue Holiday blew past Donte DiVincenzo. It looked like he had an open lane to the basket. But as he rose to shoot a floater, Curry hit him on top and blocked his shot.

“If you [make] a couple of big shots down the stretch and then being able to make a play on the other side, I think that gives everyone a good boost,” Curry said. “I think I got more compliments on it in the dressing room than any shot I took tonight.”

“It was great to see him apply the rules of verticality and get that block,” said Draymond Green.

That was Curry’s first block within the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime of his regular-season career (he did this once in the playoffs).

“Steph was amazing and he did it against one of Jrue Holiday’s greatest defenders,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “It’s incredible to watch these two guys fight. Stephen is fearless.

Golden State held a 13-point lead at 8:22 in the third quarter. With two minutes left in the fourth, they were eight behind. Curry was on the bench for most of this stretch. Kerr said he looked tired and wanted to save Curry’s energy for the last leg.

“It’s the challenge of bringing execution and focus,” Curry said. “Even if things don’t go like they did in the fourth quarter, when they’re eight points clear and you slowly lead them down, that’s the belief you need to have that we can do it.”

That’s when Curry got going.

Curry scored 15 of his 36 points in clutch time, outclassing the Bucks 15-11 for himself. Fifteen clutch points are tied this season for the fourth most of any player. It’s also the most in a game of his career.

Golden State also turned up its defense on the track, fighting at high speed and forcing five Milwaukee turnovers. Kerr chose to close with the starting lineup of Curry, Klay Thompson, DiVincenzo, Green and Kevon Looney – partly because of the defense the group played while also capitalizing on offensive opportunities.

“We came out with a defensive mindset,” Green said. “When we defend, we give ourselves a chance to win.

“You’re not defending, it’s a crapshoot. … When you’re not defending, all your shots are hard. You play against a solid defense every game. It starts with defending for us and we were able to see that tonight.”

That win came in the Warriors’ first game in their three-game homestand and after three losses on the road. Golden State is now on a seven-game winning streak at home while losing eight straight games away at the Chase Center.

The Warriors know they have to find the magic they have at home on the streets. Curry called it a “revolving door” where the Warriors look like they’re primed to make the run they’ve been waiting for, only to lose it the next night.

But they’re starting to play with the confidence to get there.

“Championship stuff,” Kerr said of how the Warriors ended the game. “This is the team that has won four titles. They know how it’s done. They did it against what is probably the best team in the league tonight.”

Bracketology: Three No. 1 Seeds in Action on Selection Sunday, with NCAA Tournament Bracket Announced – CBS Sports

Despite its second loss to Texas in a week, Kansas is still the No. 1 seed in the latest bracketology heading into selection Sunday. The Jayhawks lost Saturday’s Big 12 Tournament championship game to the Longhorns 76-56, who are now No. 2 in their prospective group.

1-seeded Alabama, Houston and Purdue also won and stay top of the table behind Kansas, in that order, before playing for their respective conference tournament championships on Sunday.

Houston may be without star Marcus Sasser, who sustained a groin injury in the Cougars’ win over Cincinnati on Saturday when they meet Memphis in the American Athletic Conference Tournament Finals. It counts as a game decision.

The Crimson Tide meets Texas A&M in the SEC Tournament Finals and the Boilermakers meet Penn State in the Big Ten Tournament title game.

UCLA played their first challenging opponent since losing Jaylen Clark to a season-ending injury. The Bruins lost the Pac-12 title game to Arizona 61-59 and gave the Wildcats two wins in three games against UCLA that season. I put Arizona in the #2 row, beating out UCLA, which fell to #3 and ninth overall. Clark’s injury was a consideration here.

Marquette, who won the Big East Tournament championship on Saturday, and Gonzaga are the other No. 2 seeds.

Potential bidding thieves shoot into the void

Despite some good chances, there were no thieves on Saturday and this season as well.

FAU smashed UAB in the Conference USA Tournament Championship Game to prevent the Blazers from stealing a bid. Houston and Memphis won the semifinals of the AAC tournament, knocking out two other potential bid thieves.

Vanderbilt lost to Texas A&M in the semifinals of the SEC tournament and stayed in the first four out. and the Commodores will not steal a bid either. Eventually, Ohio State lost to Purdue in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament, ending the Buckeyes’ hopes of fielding.

I may make further adjustments on Selection Sunday based on championship game results, but I do not expect any further changes as we prepare for the 6:00 p.m. bracket reveal on the NCAA Tournament Selection Show at 6:00 p.m ET on CBS.

Virginia fails to solve Duke in ACC tournament title game.jpgw1440

Virginia fails to solve Duke in ACC tournament title game – The Washington Post

Comment on this story

comment

GREENSBORO, NC — With less than eight minutes remaining in Saturday night’s ACC Tournament championship game, Virginia coach Tony Bennett hung his head and reluctantly called a timeout after Kyle Filipowski’s steal and dunk pushed the Blue Devils’ lead back to double digits.

The sequence was just one moment in an unusually sloppy performance by the second-placed Cavaliers. That poor ball safety, combined with wayward shooting that included eight missed layups, doomed Virginia to a 59-49 loss at the Greensboro Coliseum.

The Cavaliers’ 13th-place hopes were dashed amid 16-for-48 shots (33.3 percent), including 4-for-17 on threes (23.5 percent), in a game they never led. They also committed a dozen turnovers, making this Virginia their first game in double figures in the last 12.

“I think they’re a good defensive team,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said of the fourth-seeded Blue Devils. “They really got together like that. Her length and athleticism was real and I think sometimes that accelerated us and sometimes we were a little bit rushed.”

Junior guard Reece Beekman led Virginia by 12 points but posted a team-high with four turnovers. Freshman guard Isaac McKneely scored 10 points and was the only other Cavaliers player to reach double digits in Virginia’s second-lowest scoring of the season.

Feinstein: Tears flow as Howard Men receives first NCAA offer since 1992

Jeremy Roach (Paul VI) finished the game on a game-high 23 points by going from the field 7 to 12, and Filipowski, a standout freshman, added 20 points and 10 rebounds to move the Blue Devils in 21st place (26th – 24th). -8) to advance their 22nd ACC Tournament Championship, the highest in conference history. Duke has won nine straight games since falling into overtime in Charlottesville on Feb. 11.

Virginia came within 49-43 with 3:05 remaining on a McKneely three-pointer. But the Blue Devils responded with a three-point play from Roach before Kihei Clark’s steal with 1:46 left led to a fast-break layup for Beekman.

Clark’s layup put the Cavaliers 52-47, and Beekman’s layup after Filipowski fouled 1 of 2 cut Duke’s lead to 53-49 with 46 seconds to play. The Blue Devils sealed the deal by sinking six straight free throws in the last 40 seconds.

A 10-2 Duke riot left the Cavaliers trailing by their widest lead to that point, 36-22, with 14:34 in the second half. Roach finished the run with a three. But Virginia countered with a three-point play from Kadin Shedrick, who made a layup and drew a third foul on Filipowski. Jayden Gardner followed up with a dunk after an Armaan Franklin pass to reduce the deficit to 36-27, forcing first-year Duke coach Jon Scheyer to call a time-out.

Slack ball handling in the first half meant the Cavaliers were down 24-17 at halftime. Virginia committed seven turnovers in the first half, having scored six totals in each of the previous two games.

“Of course we wanted to win that, but we’re playing for something bigger,” said McKneely. “So we’re going to take the next few days to rest and then get right back to work. … Shots didn’t come like the last two games but I know once we get into the game [NCAA tournament] we will be ready.”

Here’s what else you should know about Virginia’s loss:

Duke’s considerable length up front confused the Cavaliers for much of the game, resulting in Virginia managing just 20 points in the paint. That lack of performance was in stark contrast to the teams’ first meeting, when the Cavaliers clinched a 69-62 42-overtime win at the John Paul Jones Arena. Virginia had scored 40 points in the paint in Friday’s quarterfinals, a 76-56 win over third-place finisher Clemson.

The combination of Filipowski and center Dereck Lively II, both 7-footers, prevented Virginia from finishing on the edge except sporadically. The Cavaliers often had to be content with contested jumpers.

“Of course we are different without something [injured starter Ben Vander Plas], so we’ll have to brace for that, but I thought they were focused on Jayden,” Bennett said. “And when Reece or Kihei or Armaan came into the alley, they were there.”

Clark’s slump in shooting continued against the Blue Devils, who limited Virginia’s third-best scorers to a 1-for-9 performance from the field. Clark finished the tournament with six points and three turnovers and is shooting 14-55 in his last seven games.

Clark was targeting the first ACC tournament championship of a highly decorated career that includes the 2019 NCAA title and three conference regular-season crowns.
