Re: 2012 NCAA Tournament: Bracketology
If Maine loses tomorrow, they would need to have top teams win their conference tournaments. Taking a quick look, it appears that they would probably lose the Cornell and DU comparisons (assuming DU wins), and could lose the Merrimack and Western Michigan comparisons depending on what those schools do next weekend. If they were to lose all 4 of those comparisons, that would drop them to 16 PWR comparisons won, which would place them in a tie for 15th (again, this is a static view of the field, assuming the TUC line stays where it currently is as far as teams that are TUCs) with Michigan State. The RPI would be close, but the Black Bears would likely take the tiebreaker with State. Sitting at #15 would require no upsets in the conference tournaments to make the NCAA Tournament.
