The first thing I thought of was our loss at Green Bay. Playing on the road at mid-majors, especially ones that are motivated (UWGB with Wardle and the in-state rivalry, WKU with the Davison flop) is tough. And Bassey is a pro. He was really good today. UW-M will be fine. Still probably win 12-13 games in the Big 10 (20 game schedule) and get a 5/6 seed.
He looked tremendous considering he was going up against an All American.

Ok. Bringing this back.

MU is in the top 16 per the selection committee. In as a 3 seed.

It's safe to say we want everyone around us to lose so we can be a 1 seed!

But hey, here is my attempt at who to root for today Saturday 16th.

Maryland (24) Over (6) Mich (mich is on the cusp and have had some losses soon. Would be nice to have them drop)

Louisville (16) over Clemson.

Wake over UNC (8)

Penn state over (12) Purdue

Tenn (1) over (5) Kentucky

Wyoming over (7) Nevada

(Again these are my takes if y'all disagree please do and let me know!)

I agree with this analysis.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Why Louisville?  Would think we want them to go down.

Juan Anderson's Mixtape

Louisville almost pulled a Creighton.   It actually may have been even worse than a Creighton.  Final sequence:

Cards make 2 FT with about 15 seconds left to go up 7.  Clemson 3, jumpball to Clemson, another 3, steal...Jordan Nwora blocks the shot after turning the ball over.

Cards win by 1.

And Tulane, but that's an 18 point underdog.

Always root for the teams you play against. You want a strong league power rating, and strong non-conference opponents power ratings. The better Louisville does, the better the win looks for Marquette.  Even root for teams you lose to non-conference, as, it will be a better loss, etc...

In this instance, Louisville is more important because even though MU needs league to do well, Louisville is one of MU's better non-conference wins of the year. MU needs that a little more than one of league teams to win in this situation.

Do we want St. Johns to beat Villanova today or would it be better seed wise to have Nova win and then Marquette beat nova next week? Obviously this is a seed for tournament vs outright big east title. Whats more important?

Cheer for St John's, because they aren't catching us in the standings.

+1...and IF that happens, and MU takes care of business next week against Nova, for all intents and purposes(barring something disastrous), MU will win the BE.
