Know nothing about the Razorbacks. Do the Raiders have the personnel to pull off an upset or just a snowball’s chance in hell? Don’t know yet where the game will be played.

I'll say snowball's chance. 3 of the mid-majors that Arkansas played in non-conference went on to win their conference tournaments. Here's how they did:
Arkansas beat North Texas, another 14 seed, by 15 during regular season. They beat Oral Roberts, a 15 seed, by 11. Also beat Abilene Christian, a 14 seed, by 13.
Doesn't help that Colgate isn't "battle tested" this year with a PL-only schedule. A schedule that also had them not play the other top team in the league in Navy. Most colossal mid-major upsets in March Madness are pre-dated by the victorious school either beating or playing competitive games against high major competition.

Athletically between slim and none
Basketball tactics and execution they have a shot
Look for a much different game than HC had with the Nolan Richardson team at Wake
Rebounding and second chances will be important if Colgate wants to be close and have a chance to steal the game. Of the PL coaches I want ML on the bench for the preparation and match-up/in game decisions

Excellent, Grade A analysis with factual examples. Thanks for doing the research. |

Colgate wins this game.
I hate Colgate.
Go Raiders!!!!!
Thats why they call it March Madness....................................
They almost pulled off the upset last time they made it against another SEC opponent.

There's something to be said that you're so good, you win every game by blowout. Colgate wasn't battle tested with an OOC game, but they also weren't tested with many tight games.
On any given day. . . especially a team that shoots the 3 well. Maybe they'll get stupid hot from downtown. Still the speed and athleticism of an SEC team isn't something they haven't seen in a long time. Passing lanes that were open all season long can collapse much faster than the Raiders have seen all year

Won’t be picking Colgate in my bracket but it definitely wouldn’t be the craziest thing that’s happened in the last year.

I'm picking Colgate. I loyally pick the PL rep every year unless it's a PL team I don't like (rare) or it's a team with a snowball's chance that faces a high major team that I'd actually like to see advance deep into the tournament. IIRC specific games, I think one was a Wisconsin-American game and the other Villanova-Lafayette if I recall correctly. I MAY have picked Oregon over HC just to not "jinx" our chances but honestly can't remember (in '07 definitely recall penciling us straight to the Sweet 16). Other than that, Patriot League all the way.
When I was still in HS, and before I had any connection to the Patriot League, I picked Bucknell to beat Kansas.

Do we know which PL team would replace Colgate if they come down with the Covid in the next two days?

Massey makes Arkansas a 7 point favorite with about a 75% chance for the win. I guess 1 chance in four for Colgate is a bit better than no chance at all.

If a team from a one-bid league is forced to withdraw, the replacement will come from same conference. If a team representing a conference with multiple bids is forced to withdraw, the replacement will be one of the chosen four replacement schools. www.si.com/college/2021/03/14/ncaa-tournament-replacement-teams-2021The article does not explain exactly how a replacement team would be determined to replace the rep from a one-bid league. Would Navy replace Colgate or would it be Loyola? Assuming those teams pass COVID protocol of course. |

Of course now all of the experts start telling us how much they know about all the mid/low majors. For instance, I never realized Colgate ran the Princeton offense - until someone mentioned it on one of the selection shows last night. Can't wait to hear all the words of wisdom that will be flowing this week!

That would definitely be the fairest way to do it. Interesting that there doesn’t seem to be an answer to this question on the PL site or elsewhere. Guess they don’t want to jinx it by talking about it. |

Does any team from a one-bid conference have a higher seed than Colgate ? I don’t think so - can we conclude that our league is underrated ?
