MU still a three seed (protected--Minneapolis) vs Vermont.
Lunardi has us at on the S curve.

I know this is based on where they stand now, but there is pretty much no way that a conference can have two number one seeds, and neither of them be the automatic bid. UConn and Pitt will both lose a couple more before then.
Lunardi's notes on us
Record (Conf): 17-2 (6-0)
RPI: 21
SOS: 84
Last 12: 11-1
Marquette
Marquette should pat itself on the back for remaining one of two unbeaten Big East teams. A Big Monday visit to a cranky Notre Dame will be the Golden Eagles' toughest test yet.

Thanks CT, I enjoy Lunardi's stuff. Does this particular stat stand out to anyone else?
I was wondering the same thing. I don't know how he calculates the possibility we'll hold on to a 1-4 seed. 65 % seems generous, but I'll take it!

I think Lundari just puts the automatic bid based on who has the best conference record. That being said, I think if any of the top 5 teams (MU, Pitt, UConn, UL or Cuse) wins the BEast tourney, they get a #1.
