NCAA Tournament seeding

The people here are so maniacal, that if the ratings are anything like posts in a game thread, then the ratings will fluctuate from zero stars to five starts every 30 seconds.who's going to be the one to risk their 5 star rating over a bunch of partying redfans
I’ll take my chances with Duke in Newark rather than go out west. We can out tough Duke.
Men's Bracketology: Auburn lost but stays No. 1 as Tennessee, Texas Tech drop
Another rare loss won't erase all that the Tigers have accomplished this season. Meanwhile, Florida is back on the 1-line and Texas A&M rises to a 2-seed.

Still listed as 4 seed in lunardi's latest
As of now brackets have us at either a 3 or 4. Right on the cusp. Butler and Seton Hall games are actually very important for us to keep pushing towards being solidified as a 3
I really want to win out because I want to limit the floor if we lose in the BET.Men's Bracketology: Auburn lost but stays No. 1 as Tennessee, Texas Tech drop

These are all meaningful games. It’s just nice that they aren’t about making it, but it’s about placing us. Still very important.

If we are 30-4 on March 16 and don't have a 2 next to our name, it's going to be extra fuel for our team.
I think Alabama in particular has a dangerous schedule so we'll see what happens. I think there is still time to definitely solidify a 2 for us. But we need to win!

A lot of the teams ahead of us are going to be playing each other. The committee will excuse some of their losses, but not any of ours. And, honestly, fair enough. Butler and Seton Hall are not good teams. Marquette will be a tough one, but I think that win would solidify us on the three line with the upside of a two if we win the tournament.

Would not mind seeing them in a 2v3 matchup.That's why I'm pulling for Alabama to lose all four games.

3 vs. 14 is a better chance of running into a low mid-major that bombs away from three I think. 15 seeds are usually pretty bad, especially if there are conference upsets among the fifth- to eighth-worst autobids that push expected 16s to the 15 line.
I guess we'd have a clearer picture in March but I'll be rooting for total chaos in most of the low conferences.
That is always a fear.
But conversely, those 14 seeds would not have the athletes that can drive past SJU’s defense, then kick out, and create many open looks.

I probably don't want to risk running into Samford and Bucky Ball for example, but not even sure where a team like that is seeded assuming they win their tournament. Currently in third place so maybe Bucky Ball has been solved within its own conference.
I think the elite eight team’s first round game was against Samford. They started out ice cold and missed just about every three in the first half and SJU built a nice lead.
They were completely opposite in the second half and could not miss. Fortunately, enough of a cushion was built to get the win.

Projected SoCon winner Chatanooga is a 14 on bracketmatrix so Samford would likely be there as well. Samford would be a great draw for any 3 seed as their style isn't conducive to knocking off superior teams. To pull off an upset you need slow the pace down, take care of the ball, and defensive rebound. Samford does none of those things.
That said, watch us draw Samford now and have it be a tie game with 4 mins left.
the following games v. Indiana and Maryland were glorious
Our Wonder 6 were simply operating on a higher plane those two games
the present team very much reminds me of the level '99 was at in the tourney run
He found his niche years ago, but justifiably is fading as more analysis entered the equation. Repole Stables could hire him I guess.

Maybe it's just the beaten down fan in me, but I expect they will give us the worst seed they can justify with the worst possible match ups and pray we lose so they can say "See, told you they weren't as good as their record."
It’s just moronic. The committee put us as a 4 seed the other week. That’s a fact. Since then we’ve gone 3-0 including two wins over tournament teams. And Lunardi doesn’t move us an inch? Just idiotic.
