Bracket Buster announcement Monday night at 7:00 p.m.
« on: January 29, 2013, 03:44:41 PM »
The final Bracket Buster field will be unveield Monday night.  TV games will be disclosed at 6:30 p.m., remaining games at 7:00 p.m.

Using RDPi as a guide (and I  hate to do that, but it seems that is what the group will look at), YSU sits at 169.  Road teams in that range include Morehead State (162),  Bradley (168) and Charleston Southern (174).

YSU gets Central Michigan.

Games like this are why it is probably best the Bracket Busters are done after this year.  I understand the primary reason is TV games, but the disparity in every ranking system makes me wonder how this game was assigned.

RPI - YSU 157, CMU 249

Pomeroy YsU 148 CMU 246

Massey 148 CMU 248

Sagarin YSU 145 CMU 270

Based on the current Sagarins, YSU will be a 12 point favorite at home.

This game is a lose/lose for YSU.  Win and your strength of schedule goes down.  The only Horizon League team below CMU is UWM.  Lose and it is a bad loss.
