Are we going to be able to drop to a 10 seed?

[MUBalla23]

im hoping a ten in chicago.

[PGsHeroes32]

im hoping 10 or 11 or maybe somehow get way higher than everyone expects like last year and get a 7

id love to play a 10 seed then get BYU

[WellsstreetWanderer]

YEAH  BYU would be nice .... The way we defend the three

[Marqus Howard]

I highly doubt BYU will be a 2 seed. They almost lost to TCU today...

I agree on badly wanting a 10 or 7 seed, but i fear that win over WV will have bumped us to a 8-9 seed. We probably needed a win tonight to get a 7th.

You never can really hope for a loss, but in retrospect, that win over West Virginia may have harmed us a bit in moving us into a 8-9 seed.

Granted, we'd still have to win our first round game in the NCAA Tournament before even worrying about who we'd face in the second round and it's not like if we were a 10 seed that a second round matchup vs a 2 seed would be a likely win anyways.

Given how up and down this year has been, if we win a first round game and lose the next one, i can't be upset. The team is fairly inexperienced and thus i'm just glad that we made the big dance. A lot of teams with a more experienced squad will be at home watching.

Say we do get a 9 or 10.  Does that mean we were in well before the BET or is it a fine line between 10 and 16?  So much seems to have been riding on  our last 3 games.  Before the BET we were on the bubble according to many here. After Providence, we were debating how high we would be seeded.

You know that seeds 13 through 16 are for automatic qualifiers

That's not automatically true. It will most likely be the case, but if they have to adjust teams for match-up purposes, you could see at-larges in the 13 slots, or possibly even a play-in game there, though they'd probably sooner bump the play-ins to an 11-line.

I just don't see how a team finishing 11th in conference with an rpi near 60 gets a 9 seed. Lunardi isn't as accurate with seeds, I would expect a 10 seed at the lowest.

With so many teams in, Big East teams' seeds will be all over the place in order to get the match ups right. I expect the commitee will have no second thoughts about moving teams up or down a line or two. I fully expect a team like MU to have a surprisingly low number and distant site, or a surprisingly high number and close site. If they find a match up they like, they will make it happen.

I expect a lot of complaining about seeds this year. Once you get past the 1'2, 2's, and 3's, its kind of a blob, and I suspect the commitee will treat the numbers as somewhat insignificant.

ND in Chicago seems like all but a certainty at this point. Either as a Number 1, or as the top number 2, rewarded with a 'home' site. Would they dare put Illinois there as an 8/9 seed as well (I don't think so)? How about 11 seed MU in a pod with 3 seed Purdue?
