Locations are a crap shoot with these but saw Lunardi had us in San Jose with Maryland as the possible second round matchup. At least we wouldn’t be facing a Pac12 team.

He somehow put 7 seed Iowa State in Des Moines which I don’t think would ever happen.

When does the committee release their top 16? That will give a lot of insight into how they view conference strength. It will be interesting what they think of the Big 10.

Last year they had it about a month out from the selection show. I would imagine that to be the case this year too so roughly Feb 16th

Joe has us up to a 5, playing arch-rivals Kostas University

http://www.bracketmatrix.com/

Bracket Matrix has us as the top 5

Just 4 Big East teams in Lunardi's latest, with Butler and Creighton the first 2 teams out.

I think we're much more likely to have 6 than 4, but 5 will be the number.  I imagine PC could get into the mix as well if they turn it around soon.  I expected them to be better this season.   
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

PC likely would have been, but they have been without a very good frosh, A.J. Reeves for the past few weeks with a foot injury. I believe the original timeframe was 4-6 weeks, and he went down in mid-December. He was their second leading scorer (14 ppg) and best three point shooter early on. He would certainly make a big difference for them. I don't think he'll be back this weekend.

My personal hopes for this season was:
top 3 in BEast
Top 6 seed NCAA.

I’m happy with how it looks right now. However having said that. I think if selection committee picks today, we could be a 4 seed.

I’ll play Dayton and Maryland all day.

Maryland’s two big men would be a pain in the ass but we got guys who can be physical with them.

Cowan can be great but he’s small. So that helps Markus.

Sam and Joey will force one of their big men to leave the paint.

They don’t have elite shooting either.

MU Women climb again to a new program-best @No. 13 ranking in the Coaches' Poll! Also the highest ranking for a BIG EAST squad since the realignment!

Maybe I should pose this in a different thread, but who do we think has a higher ceiling?

I'm leaning towards the men, because I can foresee a scenario where Markus gets hot and we knock off a Kansas or a Virginia and get to the Final Four.  I dont see that for the women, who will probably play up to their seed but lose against one of the elite 1 or 2 seeds who have more size.

Men for sure. Women are great, but I feel like the top of the women's tier is head and shoulders above the rest.

Bowie Schwab, FS1s Bracket guru last night had MU a 4 seed before the game, and see their ceiling as a 3, which I think sounds right.

While of course, if and when MU wins out, and the BET, we get a 1, I won’t be totally surprised  8-)

The Schwab lost some weight and hit up Tommy’s tanning booth.

He looks way better than last year. Always loved Stump the Schwab. Not sure how he is as a bracketologist though. I’d take a 3/4 seed all day.

 Last year the committee really valued marquee wins, especially on the road. I’m worried that will limit our ceiling as we don’t have as many opportunities this year. Although, the BE still offers us the opportunity to get a lot of nice wins.

Agreed. There are typically only about five or six women's teams that have a realistic shot at winning it all...and only two programs (UConn and Tennessee) have ever won more than two titles. On the men's side, it isn't unheard of for a team further down the list to win it all (i.e., 7-seed UConn in '14).

 I would absolutely LOVE this bracket if it was to occur. That feels like an elite 8 draw.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

what is the easiest way to get BE tourney ticks without season ticket holder. 
Been a while since ive gone, are they readily available on stubhub etc , or better off scalping around MSG?

You going to certain games, all MU games, every game? Care about where you sit? Care about getting a good deal? Value peace of mind from having them in advance?

What seed do you think we would need to be to have the first round in either Des Moines or Columbus?

Not sure we can get Des Moines.

Michigan and Kansas have that pretty fast tracked. Sparty too.

Seed doesn't matter as much.  We'd likely have to pass one of Michigan, Michigan St, Kansas, and Tennessee (whose closest location Columbia SC but Duke and Virginia are probably going to SC).

WE would probably have to be a 2 seed to even get consideration for either side. Michigan/Michigan/Tennessee St will take up the Columbus spots. If Tennessee remains higher than both one will get send to Iowa and most likely Kansas will be there. If we want to get to Iowa we will need to beat out Kansas.
