[We R Final Four]

Losing 4 out of 5 games, not 4 or 5 line.

[goldeneagle91114]

There's no way we are on the 4/5 lines without winning the BET at this point, unfortunately.

He meant losing 4 of our last 5 games.

[brewcity77]

Yeah I keep reading we're a stone cold lock and maybe we are. Many here know more than I do about bracket projections. But if we lose our next two  and our first BET game are we really a lock?

Yes. We have 12 Q1+2 wins and no losses outside Q2. No one on the bubble comes close. If we lose out, I don't even think we'll be in Dayton.

Not saying anything you don't know, but if we win the next two I think many will be pleasantly surprised with our seed. 14 Q1/2 wins and 0 losses to anyone outside the tournament field.

However, of those 14 Q1/2 wins, only 5 are against teams currently in the field..Xavier(2), Nova, USC and Butler. That's it. Gotta believe they will get dinged for that. I mean yes you can say it's 14 Q 1/2 wins. But when you dig deeper..the committee may not be overly impressed in totality. This is an instance where the #'s don't really tell the true story. I'm not saying this to bash anything, just being realistic and honest.

I get what you're saying. The resume isn't without warts. But with 5 wins against tournament teams, 0 losses against teams outside the field and that's why we would be looking at a 6/7 seed and a legitimate top 25ish resume. Not only that, only 2 ( PC, @ PC) of our 10 losses came outside Q1A. If Providence keeps winning we could potentially end up at 20-10 with one total loss outside Q1A.

At this point, I'd be thrilled with a 7 seed meaning we can avoid the 8-9 situation. Favorable matchup in the first round and can avoid the 1 seed in the second round. That's really the best we can hope for at this point, barring winning out (including BET).

[Johnny B]

Would anyone agree that you'd rather have an 11 seed over an 8 or 9? Maybe go even further I think a case could be made for.11 over 7 or 10 as well.

No

I rather have a 11 seed over a 7/10

Problem with 11s is that now you are into Dayton territory. If my team makes the tournament I want to at least have a guarantee they will be playing on the first real day of the tournament.

If it means avoiding a 1 seed matchup it might still be worth it. But not worth it to simply avoid a 2-7, IMO

[BM1090]

Still a 7 seed at Bracketville and ESPN

Marquette would need to lose out to even have a shot at an 11 seed.  If they go 0-3, I'd still bet on 10 or better.

Without a doubt. 11 gives you the best shot at a sweet sixteen (MU did it recently). However, I think Round 1 is our Super Bowl this year so I'd prefer to have the best seed possible whether it's a 7,8, etc.

[BM1090]

7 seed on CBS

8 seed on Bracketville

[BM1090]

Checked about 30 brackets that have updated since last night. Mostly 7 seeds. Some 8s. One 9. Nothing below that.

No "First Four Outs" yet?   

[warriors78]

I'm hoping for a #7 or #10 seed playing in Tampa selfishly to see them live in my new hometown as of last year

Why on earth would you torture yourself like this?? It will make your eyes bleed...trust me

Especially if they happened to win a game and had to play FSU in Tampa.

Maybe Wojo's doing some game theory here, 4D chess master stuff
