Bracketology 2/9/19

The committee's top 16 seed reveal is coming up Saturday at 12:30 PM. What I'm most interested in is to see where Nevada is- the Wolfpack have quite an unconventional resume with a great win-loss total but not a single Q1 opponent. It's almost reminiscent of 2012 Murray State who entered the NCAA tournament at 30-1. That team had a win at Memphis though, but didn't have the preseason hype of this Nevada team. Houston will be another interesting test case of a great record with not a lot of meat on the resume- would not surprise me to see them as a 2, 3 or a 4.
