2 Seed

[wadesworld]

No way there are 8 more deserving teams in the country.

Now the real games start.

[CountryRoads]

15 seeds will be licking their chops.

[LloydsLegs]

2 is deserved; 3 gives us the chip.

[WarriorFan]

MU did everything required to get a 2 seed. 

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

2 is deserved; 3 gives us the chip.

3’s been good to us before.

[MuggsyB]

I can't see us getting anything but a 2.  19 of our last 21. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Deserve a 2.  We'll see what happens. 

[wadesworld]

3’s been good to us before.

But not to Shaka.

[hairy worthen]

Solid 2. Not a weak 2 like some on here say.

[Markusquette]

How could it not be? #6 going into the BET and won it...

[nyg]

Texas win hurt. Believe we get the first number 3 in the curve.  They deserve a 2, but we will see tomorrow.  Fun and makes Sunday Selection more exciting.

But I will be getting one of those championship tee shirts…..nice.

[Herman Cain]

We just on a Regular Season and Tournament of one of the top 4 Conferences. We earned a 1 seed . 

[Uncle Rico]

We just on a Regular Season and Tournament of one of the top 4 Conferences. We earned a 1 seed .

I agree with this analysis

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Got a bit emotional during Shaka's speech. 

[MUCam]

When the NCAA 16 reveal came out, I said if we won out and won the BET we would get a 2 seed absent some very bad luck elsewhere.

We haven’t seen the very bad luck. I stand by what I said then when I looked at all the games left and how teams were going to beat up on each other especially in the Big 12. I fully expect a #2 seed.

If we are a #3, then I was wrong. And winning it all will be all the more special.

[hairy worthen]

It wouldn't surprise me

[Goose]

Defense travels

[BM1090]

I’ve thought all along they were getting a 3.

After tonight, I think they snag the last 2.

[4everwarriors]

1 seed..fook 'em

[Hards Alumni]

How could it not be? #6 going into the BET and won it...

Because that is a media poll.

[Uncle Rico]

Defense travels

Up to 47 in KenPom.  🔥 Significant progress from December - that’s damn impressive

[jesmu84]

Better to be #1 3 seed or #4 2 seed?

[Goose]

Rico

You have seen their D in stretches and knew they could play lockdown D. Defense will win then a game in NCAA and the bench another one. These guys can play D and I think they can play better D.

[muwarrior69]

Two seed, Three seed who the heck cares. We are going to the Tournament and make some noise.

[Hards Alumni]

Better to be #1 3 seed or #4 2 seed?

last #2 probably goes to Des Moines.  So that.

[Silent Verbal]

Tonight was a statement game.  They came in with the intention of demoralizing Xavier to show everyone who the best team in the conference really was, and they did it.  Whether they’re a 2 or 3 seed, I think they do the same in the first round of the NCAAs.  Whoever plays them will be running into a buzz saw.

[Boston Warrior]

Really impressed, they could make some noise in ncaa. Freshman are growing up, o max and Stevie are lock down defenders, Tyler improving rapidly as a scorer, jop improving his ability to play defense. People saying bully ball will beat them don’t know their heart!

Look out ncaa!!

Yessir

[dgies9156]

Got a bit emotional during Shaka's speech.

You and me both.

After 45 years since we were last this good, through all the ups and downs, we stuck with them. And so, with more confidence than ever before, we can honestly say...

WE'RE BACK!!!!!

[Goose]

dgies

We are back and watching Shaka brought tears to me eyes. I hope every MU fan is proud tonight.

[ATL MU Warrior]

I am amazed at how freaking good this team is.

I am having trouble processing how good we could be in the future.

Hell yeah!!!!!

[forgetful]

Well, if Baylor gets a 2-seed ahead of us, it will put a chip on the teams shoulder.

[Jockey]

I am amazed at how freaking good this team is.

I am having trouble processing how good we could be in the future.

Hell yeah!!!!!

If everybody comes back, we could see quite a few games like this.

BTW - it won’t be a 9th place prediction next year. 

[Uncle Rico]

Well, if Baylor gets a 2-seed ahead of us, it will put a chip on the teams shoulder.

I’ll take a 3-seee in the region with Baylor

[GoldenWarrior11]

Whatever gives us a chip, I'm in favor of.

[nyg]

Guaranteed a Number 1 or 2 Seed:

Alabama
Purdue
Houston
Kansas
Texas
UCLA

Leaves: Two spots left

MU
Arizona
Baylor
Gonzaga ?

Arizona if they beat UCLA in PAC12 tournament. If they lose, MU should pass Arizona.
No way should Baylor beat out MU, a conference champ and who beat Baylor.

So, changed my prediction to MU with #2 seed designation. 

[NolongerWarriors]

Got a bit emotional during Shaka's speech.

Hahaha.

[Sir Lawrence]

Don’t care.  Let’s kick arse.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Hahaha.

Bitch. 

[Goose]

Sir

Cheers to a great BE tourney. Six more to go!!

[statnik]

It wouldn't surprise me

I don’t want that pressure, 2 seed seems very right for this team, and still allows them to be a bit under the radar.

[GoldenEagles03]

There is 0 reason for Marquette to be behind Baylor.

Absolutely none.

[wisblue]

This is a guy whose opinions I value more than Lunardi’s.

Well, I've mentioned this before:  If by chance that #2 seed comes down to MU or Baylor the committee is going to have a really tough time choosing Baylor.  My take is if Zona loses tonight we're a lock #2.  If they win it's either us or Gonzaga.

[jficke13]

1 seed? No.

2 seed? No.

3 seed? Not a chance.

Give us a 16 seed and we'll just put Kansas down by 20 a couple weeks ahead of schedule.

[avid1010]

Hahaha.

People like you miss out on so many great things in life because of who you are. 

[willie warrior]

1 seed..fook 'em

Agreed. Just for curiosity how many BEast teams have in the same year won both regular season and tourney and what was their Dance seeding?

[bilsu]

Two seed, Three seed who the heck cares. We are going to the Tournament and make some noise.

If we are a three, we most likely play a two in the Elite 8. Much better being a two and getting to play a three.

Hate pulling for Mick Cronin, but it must be done.

[RushmoreAcademy]

2 seed or we turn them down and go to the NIT.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

We 1000% deserve a 2 seed. Challenge is that so do about 7 other teams (not including the 4 1 seeds). We have done everything we can to make our case since the reveal. We have made the committee's decision very difficult.

I’m of a different mindset.

I think we’ve made the committees decision very easy.

We haven’t lost since the reveal, and we’ve won two championships.

2 seed, otherwise what Tyler said.

[Mu8891]

They are a 2 seed …

But, if the committee gives them a 3 .. it will only piss them off, and that’s fine

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

unnatural carnal knowledge. UCLA loses in the final minute. That likely locks Arizona as a 2 seed.

It's down to 3 teams for 1 2 seed. Baylor, Gonzaga, and Marquette. If the committee largely disregards conference tournaments, it's Baylor. If the committee considers conference tournaments, it's Marquette. If the committee is drunk, it's Gonzaga.

No matter what the decision....Bill Walton is f#cking nuts

What's the word for proud and "goddamn right this is our rightful place"

[Efficient Frontier]

ESPN Bracketology has Marquette as 2 seed in the Eastern bracket.

Goose or anyone really,  had to work last night.  Watched the game and celebrations when I got home at 3:00 am. What speech?  The acceptance speech for the trophy?  Or was there some other speech?  Just curious.

Bill is absolutely nuts.  When he said that Washington was a NCAA Tournament team I couldn't stop laughing.

Personally, I think MU is as close as possible to a 2.  I think they've passed Baylor.  Gonzaga is extremely close.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It's borderline disrespectful to have Walton continuing to cover these games. You have a top ten match up in the Pac 12 tournament championship, and a complete sideshow as an analyst.

After a while, his screwing around gets old, especially his "conference of champions" echo.

I have enjoyed some of his humor, but he insists on being the center of attention all the time. It's as if the game he covers is a distraction. One of his best quips was when he asked Lunardi why he was spending so much time talking about "truckstop conferences".   

[panda]

We beat Baylor by 30. Thats the easiest tie breaker of all time

[MuggsyB]

Panda,

I thought this potential scenario would be on the table and agree with you 100%.  Is a committee member really going to be able to justify Baylor over MU for a #2 after we pummeled them to submission?  We decided to go medieval that game and I will go medieval at the committee people if Baylor winds up a 2 and we are a 3. 

[bilsu]

I would have a hard time accepting Baylor getting a two over us. Gonzaga would surprise me, but at least we did not whomp them yet. Actually, if the top 3 gets a game against the 4th two, I would like to play Gonzaga.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Same, wouldn’t mind playing Gonzaga at all

Man, if we could lock in that bracket right now, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
