Just in case anyone needed a reminder how far MU is from the actual bubble.

I know Palm isn't the best. 2-2 finish and we'll be a single digit seed. Honestly think we're in even if we lose out, but I don't want to test that theory.

Last 6 seed on bracket matrix

[HowardsWorld]

7 seed now. Wisconsin is also a 7 seed for comparison.

This would be a great draw IMO

7 on bracketville

Lunardi today, 7 seed MU.

[HowardsWorld]

We just need to bump up to the 6 seed line. Our 2nd round matchup would be duke/louisville as nova/creighton/Seton hall are going to take 2 or 3 of the 3 seeds away.

Yep.

And nice to see 6 out of 10 teams in, with PC one of the first four out. If a seventh team makes it, would 70% of a conference's teams in the Dance be a record?

[WhiteTrash]

I believe the old Big East got 11 out of 14 in (79%)

I will never understand this from our fanbase. Who cares if we get 70% in if Marquette doesn't get a win. The two years Nova won the championship there were members here acting like MU got a share of it or something. In the end the fans don't care about revenue sharing they care about wins and its been 7 years since we have had one in the NCAA. I could care less if Providence wins a game let alone if they get in the field.

I am not attacking the person I quoted either. I have seen at least 20 people on these boards say the same thing.

It was 11/16, but I think the Big 12 got 7/10 in

I think this year's Big Ten is looking at 11 bids right now, which would be 11/14

The record was 77.8% when the Big East put 7/9 teams in back in the 1991 season. Both the Big East and Big 10 could make a run at that record this year.

Yep it's strange. The rest of the conference hasn't exactly lit it up in the tournament either.

Xavier with an E8 and Butler with a S16 are the only other runs right?

[brewcity77]

Beyond the first weekend, yes. And Xavier's was the most surprising as they were an 11-seed that year.

Yep. Butler, X and of course Nova are the only programs to make it past the first weekend since the new BE formed.

You nailed this...I have read it many times as well. It's a strange phenomenon to me..Everyone seemingly roots for the Big East in the NCAA's to go deep. I couldn't care less about how the other BE teams do, in fact, more often then not, I find myself rooting against them(unless one is playing UW). The ONLY team I want to see do well in the dance is MU. After that, I take no joy/pleasure in seeing a Creighton or a Seton Hall go to the Sweet 16 or beyond and let their fans revel in that glory when I'm miserable because MU didn't make it past their first game. Some will say "well it makes the Big East look better". Who cares?? Actually what it does, it just shines the light more on the fact that MU wasn't one of the better teams in the conference. It's not like if Creighton wins a National Championship, I can feel good and go "oh yeah, now I feel great, because one of the Big east teams just won the whole thing and MU was in that conference". What it means is Creighton just won a National Championship and I'm pissed off because it wasn't MU, that's what it means.

The idea that it helps with recruiting to me is also laughable..Your school, Coach etc is what helps with recruiting. Besides, why would I want the other schools in the conference to recruit great and hurt MU's chances of winning a BE title at some point?? I've never understood this line of thinking.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Yep.

I believe we had 7 teams from the Big East in 2015.

I fully bought into that line of thinking either. However, I do root for BE teams to make a run in the tourney (except for Gtown or DePaul, but that latter will never be an issue)...right up to the Elite 8.  Most of the time because I like seeing non-Power 5 and non-football schools make a run.

Big 12 has also done it multiple times.

Yep. Anyone here think Gonzaga gives a sh!t about how many teams their conference gets in? They're too busy trying to win games in the tournament themselves to worry about stuff like that.
