CSBDI (CapSarasBaldDomeIndex), March 2, 2015, Edition III
Follow us on Twitter: @CSBDI1Hoops
Welcome to the CSBDI for the 2014-2015 College Basketball Season. We
here at the Mother Ship of the CSBDI, which is filled with only the finest
flowing beverages, break down the college basketball scene as we move
towards March and its madness. The breakdown that we construct, and the
analysis that we conduct, is the best in the business on this side of town.
Therefore, sit back, relax, and enjoy the CSBDI!
Before we start, a little about our authors:
Chris Capozzoli, 63 Power Forward, from Chicago, Illinois. Capozzoli is
a presence in the paint, and has the uncanny ability to finish around
the basket. His long arms provide for a defensive presence that alter
the play of opposing teams.
Jay Saras, 60 Shooting Guard, from the Bronx, New York. Saras has
the ability to create off the bounce, and is deadly from long range. He
consistently scores night in and night out.
CSBDI Edition III, Top 10 Teams
We expanded this week to ten teams with March on the horizon (However,
you would not know that March is on the horizon with this freezing
weather). Much of the top teams have been a staple throughout the
basketball season, with teams staying in or around the top ten. A big
focus here at the Mother Ship of the CSBDI has been centered on one
word, consistency. Week in and week out, we examine such factors as
margin of victory, strength of schedule, and number of references made
by Dickie V. That being said . . .

CSBDI Highlight of the Week

Potential Number One Seeds
Kentucky, Virginia, Duke, Gonzaga, Villanova, Wisconsin, Kansas
Obviously, Kentucky will be a number one seed, and the top seed in the
tournament. It seems as though the winner of the ACC, which we project will
come down to Duke and Virginia, will be another number one seed. The third
and fourth number 1 seeds will come down to one of the following: Villanova,
Wisconsin, Arizona or Kansas. These are our projections for 2 weeks from
now, not based on where things are today.
