I realize it all depends on matchups, but without knowing how the bracket fills out I'd prefer a 3 seed coming out of Saint Louis.  

Assuming we could make it to the Sweet 16, Marquette should be able to get decent fan support with the close location.

2 in the Phoenix, as that would most likely give us better matchups, and the 3 in St. Louis means we will likely have to play Mizzou or Kansas in the sweet 16 or elite 8 with a large home court advantage.  The Phoenix regional would probably be a true neutral venue.

.....and your answer is??

I'll go with 3 in St. Louis.

Any possibility of a 2 seed in St. Louis if some other teams lose this week?

Win the next three games and theres no doubt.

2 seed.  Give me a 15, 7, 3 vs. a 14, 6, 2.  Only thing that I have doubts with at the moment is UNC would be lined up to be the 1 in Phoenix, but I guess when it gets to that point it's either UNC/Kansas/Kentucky so it's a rough go either way. 

Phoenix.  But largely because I will be there for the first round to visit my girl.

2 in Phoenix. The only drawback is potentially seeing UNC in the Elite 8, but would Kansas out of the Midwest with a heavily partisan Jayhawk crowd be any worse? I feel a lot more comfortable playing against the teams on the 3 line than potentially having to play Duke and Kansas back-to-back.

2 in Phoenix all day.

+1.  Not that I will be visiting your girl, but I can be there.

There are no elite teams in the geographic west; therefore, the West is most likely to be the weakest across all regions.

Good points.  Maybe I do want a two instead....

... 15 ,7, 3 would be nice.

Highest seed we can get! ;D

I voted 3 in St. Louis because it would make it worlds easier for me to get there, but I'd be elated with a 2 seed.

How likely is that Marquette be seeded #3 in the St. Louis Region (i.e., playing Rounds 2 and 3 in Pittsburgh)?

Better than 50-50 on St Louis at this point.  Pittsburgh is an outside chance... more likely Columbus or Louisville for rounds 2/3.

Just my opinion.

Totally up in the air. The only region I'm sure we won't be in is the East. I'd say Midwest is a slight favorite, maybe 40%, and 30% each for South and West.
