Lunardi says we are gonna dance!

[Dickthedribbler]

Top 8 seed at Bracketville.

8 seed on ESPN's update today.

Guess that DePaul loss didn't drop us to a 9...

There is no practical difference between an 8 or a 9 seed. None. You may as well put the names of those 8 teams in a hat and draw the matchups randomly. And then the 4 winners get the privilege of playing a 1 seed.

Mock selection committee makes MU a 7 seed.

I think they should be mocked

Today Joe Lunardi has Marquette as a 7 seed playing 10 seed Miami in Greenville. Winner to face Auburn Colgate Winner.

MU 7 vs Miami 10
Kentucky the 2 seed.

Miami, good

Auburn, bad

Not only Auburn bad, but Pearl hated that Marquette would not play UWM when he was coach there. If he holds a grudge for years, that does not help us. Also, McKillop complained for years about Davidson's loss to Marquette. Same comment about grudges, but yes-I know-it will be almost entirely about the game/team/matchups etc. regardless of who the opponents are.

Let's hope we get a first round win. If so, with likely 7-8 seeding it will be no day at the beach no matter who our second round opponent will be. We've surprised a few high level teams and just might do it again. Be happy that we are in the NCAAT and hope for the best.

Yahoo's Michael Lazerus has MU as a #7, opening against San Francisco. Second-round matchup would be Duke.

Well the upside is if we make it past the first round games to S16 we play in Chicago. However, I think committee will put us in the West on selection Sunday.

So is a 6 pretty much out of reach at this point barring a BE championship?

That would be my thought. It kind of depends where we are now. However, I don’t think wins against Creighton and Providence move the needle enough to get us to a 6.

Although, there’s a little part of me that thinks we are more a solid 7 seed rather than 8/9. I think our Q1/Q2 wins will stand out amongst the teams around us.

[Milkshakes]

OR

So a 6 pretty much guaranteed at this point when we win the BE championship!

[Warrior of Law]

Purely from a probability standpoint, #9 seeds have outperformed #8 seeds in terms of advancing to Round 2.  The odds of advancing to the S16 as a #7 seed are significantly higher than a #8 seed:

Stay at the #7 and all is good.

[BrewCity83]

Beat Creighton and lock in the 7.

[fjm]

Beat Creighton and lock in the 7.

Mmmmmm that is how I feel too.

[willie warrior]

Looks like to get to 7 we need to win at least 2 in BEast tourney. Win the tourney would be better. Should get us to 5,

[dgies9156]

If the NCAA wants an attractive match-up that will draw outstandingly well, go for Marquette to the Indianapolis site in the Lunardi match-ups and have us play Notre Dame.

I'd kill for that game!!

Well, not literally but damn would that be fun. Move USC to Greenville and send us to Indy!

[MarquetteMike1977]

Joe Lunardi did a new Bracketology today and not much changed. Appears he will do new Bracketologies Daily until Selection Sunday.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Lunardi can't even get a decent hairpiece why are we wasting cyberspace discussing his brackets?

NCAA.com has MU as an 8 in the Midwest with a first-round matchup against Michigan (Hunter Dickinson would be a problem).
#1 seed is Arizona.

Andy Katz has 6 from the Big East in.

With MU tanking at the end of the season and having their seed drop (which I was right about), every opponent will look like a bad matchup.

Vadgers lost to Nebraska.
