Thursday night commenced the Madness before March even started. What wasn't surprising was that good teams lost. What was suprising was who those teams lost to. St. Louis, with their two month winning streak in tow, was stunned by lowly Duquense. Kentucky lost to Arkansas (leading to a season sweep). Ohio St. lost a head scratcher in Happy Valley. Memphis lost to a Houston team that has been decimated with injuries and transfers. None of these teams are on the bubble (at least not yet). They're all going to make the tournament. However, (St. Louis aside) those losses only reinforced the fact that despite carrying cache and marketable brands, their profiles aren't that good and neither will their seed be on Selection Sunday unless they rack up significant wins in the next two weeks. Let's take a look at the profiles of some of the teams close to the 6/7 seed line and look at who could leapfrog them.
