Top 8 seed at Bracketville.

8 seed on ESPN's update today.

Guess that DePaul loss didn't drop us to a 9...

There is no practical difference between an 8 or a 9 seed. None. You may as well put the names of those 8 teams in a hat and draw the matchups randomly. And then the 4 winners get the privilege of playing a 1 seed.

Not only Auburn bad, but Pearl hated that Marquette would not play UWM when he was coach there. If he holds a grudge for years, that does not help us. Also, McKillop complained for years about Davidson's loss to Marquette. Same comment about grudges, but yes-I know-it will be almost entirely about the game/team/matchups etc. regardless of who the opponents are.

Let's hope we get a first round win. If so, with likely 7-8 seeding it will be no day at the beach no matter who our second round opponent will be. We've surprised a few high level teams and just might do it again. Be happy that we are in the NCAAT and hope for the best.

Yahoo's Michael Lazerus has MU as a #7, opening against San Francisco. Second-round matchup would be Duke.

Well the upside is if we make it past the first round games to S16 we play in Chicago. However, I think committee will put us in the West on selection Sunday.

So is a 6 pretty much out of reach at this point barring a BE championship?

That would be my thought. It kind of depends where we are now. However, I don’t think wins against Creighton and Providence move the needle enough to get us to a 6.

Although, there’s a little part of me that thinks we are more a solid 7 seed rather than 8/9. I think our Q1/Q2 wins will stand out amongst the teams around us.

OR

So a 6 pretty much guaranteed at this point when we win the BE championship!

Purely from a probability standpoint, #9 seeds have outperformed #8 seeds in terms of advancing to Round 2.  The odds of advancing to the S16 as a #7 seed are significantly higher than a #8 seed:

Stay at the #7 and all is good.

Beat Creighton and lock in the 7.

Looks like to get to 7 we need to win at least 2 in BEast tourney. Win the tourney would be better. Should get us to 5,

If the NCAA wants an attractive match-up that will draw outstandingly well, go for Marquette to the Indianapolis site in the Lunardi match-ups and have us play Notre Dame.

I'd kill for that game!!

Well, not literally but damn would that be fun. Move USC to Greenville and send us to Indy!

Joe Lunardi did a new Bracketology today and not much changed. Appears he will do new Bracketologies Daily until Selection Sunday.

NCAA.com has MU as an 8 in the Midwest with a first-round matchup against Michigan (Hunter Dickinson would be a problem).
#1 seed is Arizona.

With MU tanking at the end of the season and having their seed drop (which I was right about), every opponent will look like a bad matchup.

Vadgers lost to Nebraska.
