Bad loss.
Not just because of the metrics.
Had a 7-13 team down ten with six and a half to go after letting them hang around way too long.

On the bubble….
Cincinnati falls at WVU, and falls back out of the bracket. First 8 out.
Wake is defeated by Pitt, now below Next 4 out. Pitt nearing “under consideration”, TBD.
Virginia > ND to remain within first 6 out.— T3 Bracketology™️🏀 (@T3Bracketology) February 1, 2024
