#2 seed in Minneapolis...that would be sweet.

Deja vu anyone? Mizzou in the second round, potential match up with Kentucky, playing in the Metrodome. Great draw until UConn...UNC matchups starting in the Elite 8.

I would love this draw...potentially Memphis in the Sweet 16. Where do I sign up?

It's deja vu all over again.

Thanks, that sounds like something Michael Scott would say.

I would settle for a 3-4 seed in the Indianapolis regional. A close proximity to Milwaukee would be huge for a Final 4 run (not to mention I already have purchased tix for that regional).

Full detail from Lunardi:

Marquette
Record (Conf.) 19-2 (8-0)
RPI 13
SOS 78
Last 12 11-1

At what point do we stop calling Marquette's incredible Big East start an anomaly? The schedule may yet catch up to the Golden Eagles, but not for a while.

Seed Report:
S-Curve history: 17 (Nov. 12), 32 (Dec. 23), 18 (Jan. 5), 14 (Jan. 12), 11 (Jan. 19), 9 (Jan. 26), 8 (Feb. 2).

Bracket Bytes:
Odds to retain 1-4 seed: 75 percent.

Good Wins
RPI 1-25: Villanova, West Virginia, Georgetown
RPI 26-50: Wisconsin

Bad Losses
RPI 101-200: none
RPI 201+: none

Does that mean that Notre Dame isn't even in the RPI top 50?

Yes. They're currently #75, with their only wins against RPI top 100 against Texas (neutral court) and Georgetown (home). Their next best wins following those two are Seton Hall, Boston U., and Indiana. They might recover but it's a long, long road.

Indiana a good win? Really? None of ND's other wins are better than Indiana?

South Carolina-Upstate, Loyola Marymount, Furman, South Dakota, Delaware St., Savannah St., DePaul.

That's it.
