Oso planning to go pro
Well on ESPN right now Lunardi says Providence is in Dayton, and MU is still avoiding Dayton. So, methinks Mr. Sand-Knit is just making crap up again.
So the rumored opponent is St Mary's.Anyone know anything about them?
Lol what do you mean the rumored opponent
Homer tweeted about MU playing St Mary's.
I don't think we'll be in Dayton. I've said as much elsewhere.On what, single v double digit seed? Position on S-Curve? Dayton v bye? One thing to remember, there's a chance Creighton, Marquette, Seton Hall, Xavier, and Providence are all on the 7-10 lines. That could force seed movement to avoid conference matchups.I know everyone loves Lunardi because he's on the mothership, but he's never been great at seeding, just great at the field. I wouldn't look to him (or Palm) when it comes to seeds.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Kind of strange that Providence went from being ahead of us to behind us on Lunardi's bracket... This is why I never care for the up-to-the-minute analysis for Bracket Matrix or individual bracketologists.. Providence and Marquette haven't played in days, but they flip flopped spots overnight - where Providence is now in Dayton. Not sure what would really cause that. Whether he's getting word from the committee, or a change of opinion.. As most have mentioned, seeding Providence/Marquette/Xavier will prove to be very difficult. Would not be surprised if we were in Dayton. Also wouldn't be shocked if we were in the 8-9 game.. If I had to predict.. i'll say the seeding will go like this for the Big East..1 - Nova4 - Butler6 - Creighton7 - Seton Hall10 - Providence11 - Marquette11 - Xavier (Dayton)Honestly have no idea on the last 3. But I do think Seton will be higher than the other 3, even though they are all currently projected in the 10-11 range. Anything outside of Dayton and I'll be pumped. And hopefully they somehow get a game in Tulsa on Friday, so I can try and make that 3-4 hour drive from Dallas to see the game..
The only BE "lock" I think has to be behind us is X. We beat the crap out of them twice, beat the likely overall No. 1 seed (which beat the crap out of them twice) and have a better record in the same conference. I'd understand PU and obviously SH being ahead of us. X would be a real head-scratcher to me.
We'll see whether the committee disregards conference tournaments like some here say or if they overvalue them like others here say. My stance has always been they value them for what they are, 1-4 games in a 30-35 game season.
If RPI is a big factor, then X has us by a bunch. Currently X is 36 and MU is 60.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
Guys, guys, guys, Lunardi is good...but let's remember that he's not actually on the selection committee.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
True, but he's certainly somewhat connected. That last minute move of Providence from ahead of MU & Xavier, to behind both and in the play-in game was a little telling to me.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
