JMM28 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Right now Lunardi has us as a 6 seed. Looking down the road, we are favored in all of our remaining games according to The Wiz. If we win out, I think 5 is our floor regardless of the A10 tournament. Winning out plus winning the A10T would give us a projected RPI of 10. Does that put our ceiling at a 3 seed?

Well, if someone who calls himself 'The Wiz' says so.....lol. I would agree however that winning out probably results in a 3 seed (maybe 2?). I would still be happy with a 4 seed, if that's where things wind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Oh, jeez not the dreaded 5-12 seed. Noooooo. We want 6-11 or 4-13. 5-12's has been the suicide seed over the years. I always pick at least two 12's to beat the five and it's paid off big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you followed this board for the last 5 or so years you would know the Wiz is never wrong. The Wiz is the best handicapper in the business.

Thats true but its.normally because a "mid major" is underseeded and a bcs school is overseeded. Id be happy with a 5 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, you need to check the A-10 prediction thread this week where I finished 6-0 including 2 games within 1/2 point a third game within 3.

Well we're really favored in every game based on any system. @X would be the only close one....... and considering we were only a 2pt dog @BU, I think we'll be favored by a bunch in a couple weeks.

cheeseman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 While I like the fact that the A10 gets 7 bids and the SEC only 2 - I have to bridle my giddiness with a dose of reality - there is no way the powers to be will let that happen under any situation. If we get 4 I will content but depending on how the tourney goes I could see 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know it's a few weeks before we'll know for sure, but I've been mentally making travel plans for months. Here's where the seeds are playing: 4 and 13, 5 and 12: San Jose, KC, Austin, San Jose 3 and 14, 6 and 11: Dayton, Philly, Salt Lake, Austin 2 and 15, 7 and 10: KC, Detroit, Detroit, Lexington 1 and 16, 8 and 9: Dayton, Lexington, Salt Lake, Philly I'm not sure I'd want us to end up with a 4 or 5-seed. 50% chance of having to go all the way to San Jose and only a 25% chance of a game in driving distance for the bulk of our fan base. Plus, the 5-seed is a notorious trap. I guess if we played our way up to a 4-seed it would mean we're on an absolute tear and I'd love to see a 13 in the first round and a 5 or 12 in the second. But that still seems like a long shot to me. A 6-seed also only gives us 1 drivable game but that would be a great situation- an arena we've played in (and won in) a lot, with an 11 seed followed by a 3 or 14. But if we want better odds of our fans showing up, we might be rooting for a 7, 8, 9, or 10 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
