NCAA Tournament

So already much of the bracketology goes out the window.

#2 Notre Dame is suddenly 6-3
#10 Army loses to #19 Navy (the play-inn game in the south just got more interesting)
#5 Virginia loses to #11 Virginia

Does #6 Lehigh move up this week? How far does Notre Dame drop due to close losses to #3 Duke and #4 North Carolina?

One more week to go before the conference tournaments begin. For now the focus needs to be on #18 Villanova.
One game at a time.

LU now #5, Nova #16. Should be a good matchup this weekend. We need to bring our tough D since Villanova looks pretty good offensively. A win will be a good resume builder should we need an at large bid. The revised PL playoff format really benefits LU. Navy is on the rise. Would much prefer to play BU or Colgate in the semis vs. Navy or Loyola!

ND now #4 but Syracuse back in the top 10. All of the ACC schools will be in the NCAA tournament. Obviously, Lehigh needs to erase all doubt by winning the PL and getting the AQ. It looks like the opening round games of the NCAA tournament will be played at neutral regional sites and not at the home of the top 8 seeds.

I understand that this is a Covid year and the Ivy League is not to be found but the Patriot League has 3 of the top 12 teams and none of them are named Loyola.
