The Sidelines

Its been awhile since I been here. How are you? It has been... *Checks notes* 1170 days since my last Midweek madness post on this blog, and I figured since I'm getting back to predicting games. why not revive this old blog for a bit. Nothing will change in terms of layout from last time. The only major difference will be 6 games every Tuesday and Saturday with some betting info at the end. My plan with the betting info is to give myself a fake allowance of 500 dollars for each of the two days and see how well I perform throughout the season. It will be a fun little experiment and I'm excited to be writing on this blog again #2 Kansas v #11 Kansas St. Neither team hold any competitive edge as both teams are pretty well matched. Kansas has been playing with fire in their last two contest at home and While Kansas St got blasted by TCU on the road, they still have some momentum, this is a toss up game where anything can go and at some point, Kansas has to get burned eventually.

I though I would tackle predicting the field for the 2023 NCAA tournament.  Bracket as of 1/13  For the baseline I utilized the bracket from Bracket Matrix  and used information from Haslam and Kenpom and the NCAA's NET rankings to help fill the rest. With this bracket, I wanted to go over a few quick observation. The Big 12 is stacked this year fielding 8 teams as of now, which is 80% of their entire conference. I'm curious to see if they can maintain this as we head closer and closer to March given the depth that this conference has. It will a wild sprint for the B1G to see who can end up where. Purdue is a solid lock for a top 4 seed come March but the rest will probably play out like a chaotic game of musical chairs. Preseason favorites like Indiana and Michigan are nowhere to be found while the Illini are holding on. Penn St, Rutgers and Northwestern! are in with good wins against the likes of Indiana and Purdue. Don
