[Cracked Sidewalks]Why I believe winning three of four gives MU a bid - but why that is so uphill

[Galway Eagle]

I think we need to win all four games plus two wins in the BET to have an outside chance at making the tournament. That would put us at 22-12 and position us to be a 13 or 14 seed that no one wants as a first round opponent.Does anyone know if the NCAA has historically taken into account potential match ups when filling out the field? It would appear that they do based on past practice, but I don't really know.

I heard once they try to avoid first weekend rematches of the past few years NCAA tournaments and try to avoid conference mates playing each other too early.

Probably not. 22-12 is at least a 10 seed. And no at large teams will be 14 seeds.

You never know...there are a lot of good conference leaders in the mid majors. SF Austin, Toledo, Harvard, etc. Some of them may sneak into the 11/12 seed range and bump some at large bids. Like I keep saying, its a REALLY soft bubble

Need more attention?
