In & Out.
Bracketology, YoCo Style.IN
WASHINGTON (18-10) -- Turned on the tube to see the Huskies nearly throw-away two months worth of hard work against UCLA in the first round of the PAC-10 Tournament. But after finishing the game on a 13-3 run and defeating the Bruins, Lorenzo Romar's squad deserves a bid.
XAVIER (21-10) -- The Musketeers' demolition of St. Joe's erased all doubts about Romain Sato, Lionel Chalmers, and Anthony Myles. Importantly, Thad Matta's boys also have victories over Alabama and Richmond, bubble teams both.
OUT
NOTRE DAME (17-12) -- The Fighting Irish never deserved the respect of Digger & Co. at ESPN. Chris Thomas does not a Big East title contender make. Coach Brey's accumulated few quality wins (Connecticut, Syracuse and DePaul) and one too many unsavory losses (Central Michigan, Rutgers and Indiana).
With respect to my predictions, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
