Seed

[brewcity77]

Not really, because if you lose there, it was like you weren't even in it. The REAL tourney starts that Thursday and Friday.

No, it doesn't. It starts when teams are playing on the road to the Final Four. When VCU beat USC in 2011, it was in the tournament and if they don't win that game, they don't go to the Final Four. The Tournament starts in the First Four.

We will probably be last 4 bye

[GGGG]

Teams don't move that far up and down based on conference tournaments.  I am thinking a ten seed. 

[DUNKS45]

9

UNLESS, a bunch of bids get stolen because of it. Just don't trust the committee, never have never will. Afterall, we have seen so many curious decisions by them over the years. Like Cuse last year for example.

I was thinking 10 seed before the game and still do. SH is going to the dance--not a bad loss.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Not if say the BXII(Kansas just lost), Big Ten and American tourneys don't go chalk. I don't count being in Dayton as being IN the tournament.

I take it you're not a fan of the second wild card in baseball.

OK, then sit around and fret and worry about it until Sunday.

Not at all..I'm old school and a purist. Just as i have always wanted the 64 BEST teams in the tournament. Not small school 16 seeds that can pull an upset once in awhile(as enjoyable as that may be). They can have their own tournament...besides, if you think about it, that gives ALL of them a better chance to  legitimately compete for a Championship. Win-Win

[brewcity77]

I think we get a 9. My guess is we're either in Tulsa playing into Kansas (against Virginia Tech) or Greenville playing into UNC (against Northwestern).

You can think that way. It's your right. But it's not how things work. Do you only make the NFL playoffs if you get the bye?

You're not a purist then.  Since then start of the NCAA tournament, all conference champions have been invited.  The at-large bids to non-conference champions is a more recent addition.

[fjm]

I think we get a 9 or 10.

I want us to get an 11 and a bye from Dayton.

This team can get hot and beat almost any team. Or be ice cold like today. But if we are going to be hot, I'd rather we not play a 2 or 1 in the second round.

(Of course some big IF's in there)

That type of purist is more in line with the old school NIT. Maybe muguru would prefer a NIT bid?

Hope u guys are right, those that say were are totally in have no way of knowing that n rpi has always been the biggest factor.

You can get a good look at a steak by sticking your head up a cow's ass, but wouldn't you rather take the butcher's word for it?

[Herman Cain]

We will be just like last Year,anxiously hoping for our NIT invite. I felt all along we need to get to 21 wins  to be certain and 20 just to be in the discussion. We might get lucky and Xavier will win the tournament so our two wins over them will be considered quality.  The outlook is cloudy for our team right now.

Is this for real? Lunardi had us as a lock as did SI. Step back from the ledge my friend

I think we can officially label MUFINY as a troll.

MUFNY trying to get on Scooptakes Twitter is like Heise making topic titles that have nothing to do with the article he copied and pasted just to get clicks.

You've been asked multiple times now but I'll try again. Who is getting in over us? I will hang up and listen for your response.

[GoldenDieners32]

All these brackets have us in but that really doesn't matter. It only matters if the committee thinks we are in not a bunch of brackets people are predicting

[bilsu]

Going to Dayton gives us the best chance of getting 20 wins.
Also, if you assume an 11th seed (I am not predicting this) you could be in Dayton or not Dayton. Either way you get the sixth seed (assuming you win in Dayton) and I think it would be good for MU to have a game in under their belt. I am not rooting for playing in Dayton, but I do not think it would be a bad thing if it happen.

[GoldenDieners32]

right now Joe has us playing Miami(7). I feel like this would be a terrible matchup

Whoever the committee decides is over us. Its that simple, because none of us knows for certain who is in and who is out.
