Just for arguments sake we win the Big East tournament. Where can you see us seeded?
2

Especially with Miami losing again tonight. Lets get er done!
Hopefully the highest 2, paired against the lowest 1, Gonzaga.
2 is best case scenario. Will depend on who we beat. If we beat Louisville and Georgetown along the way, we are a lock for a 2 and if we manage to get the Big East outright, might be an outside shot for the last 1-seed (especially if Gonzaga doesn't get one). If somehow we ended up seeing Pitt in the semis and Cincy in the final we probably get a 3.
I don't see us above 6. Duke, Kansas, Zags, and IU will all be ranked ahead of us regardless of what happens to them due to their overall quality season, less losses, and better brand name. If Miami, MSU, Louisville, GT or Mich have strong showings in their tourney, I think they will be above us even if they don't win them. I could see a situation where we win the BEast and still end up the high three spot.
OT: Pet peeve on this board is topics with vague titles. Besides the netiquette factor, it makes it hard to remember what the random topics are about when you there have so many floating around.

6? Is that a typo? Or are you speaking in terms of overall rankings?
Do you guys really think a seed will make a difference with this team? We could have a 2 seed and lose in the first round. We could also have a 10 seed and go to the Sweet 16. It makes no difference, especially this year when we are such a Jekyll and Hyde team. Last year, I cared a little bit. This year I don't.
Now, I would absolutely LOVE to win the Big East tournament, but as in the big tournament, it depends on what side of the bracket we are on. I don't happen to think we can beat Syracuse again and I doubt we can beat Louisville. But I think we can win the thing.
