pretty_ricky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Newest bracketology has us at a 5th seed. Butler still at 7. Temple living on the bubble forever it seems. VCU at 6 and Lasalle at a 12 seed to round it out. 5 teams for the A10 isn't bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Bill Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I was surfing and dropped in on the B10 network near the end of an "inside the selection process" show. Apparently Jerry Palm (CBS) and another guy illustrated the process as a mock selection committee. They assumed all current league leaders would dance, and didn't talk about them while I watched, but unless my eyes are failing, SLU ended up as a #4! I have to DVR this and see who the other guy was - I assume Palm had his arm twisted. Next (and last) showing I see is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12:30 pm CT. OK, I see Palm has us as #4 in the South tonight. It was sportswriter Mike DeCourcy. They put us #4 in South, playing #13 Bucknell.

DD3 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Interesting that both Lunardi and Palm have us facing Akron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 On March 1 the ESPN bracketology had us at a 4 seed in KC playing against Creighton... Interesting that two wins for a combined 26 points wasn't enough to even keep our seed... Is it just me or does it seem like Lunardi really doesn't like us?

pretty_ricky Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think you misread that. We were listed as a 6 seed facing Creighton and moved up to a 5 this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were listed as a 6 seed facing Creighton and moved up to a 5 this week Lunardi still doesn't respect us as much as the rest of the ESPN analysts. He (Bilas and Mike Simon) gave the Bills the lowest ranking (21) of the 18 voters on ESPN power rankings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (Bilas and Mike Simon) gave the Bills the lowest ranking (21) of the 18 voters on ESPN power rankings . What's up with that? You'd think we'd get some love form a fellow A10 guy. Jealous about our success maybe, jealous about our possible entry into the Big East? I find it strange, he was high on us last year (if I remember correctly), and at the beginning of the year he showed a lot of love, but with more success has come more doubt from him. Bilias I get, he loves the power conferences, hes all about that, if we beat duke by 40 he'd call it a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 That's probably right, hah. My bad. I was more focused on the KC part of the seeding. Really want to be within driving distance, flying would be the less appealing option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 And I guess Lunardi might be a little pissed after whooped up on his St. Joe's... Although, I don't know if it's necessarily a bad thing that we don't get any respect from him. We've always thrived as the underdog, being the underdog in some people's eyes will only give us more to prove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo027 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Indiana got beat at home last night by Ohio State. There are no really outstanding teams in college basketball this year. If we're ever going to make a deep run, it'll be this year with this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills By 40 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 and yes KC would be much appreciated KC, Dayton, or Lexington would be nice... But I think no matter where we end up I'll be there with crew supporting, loud and proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with our success this year we'll be able to boost recruiting and getting into the new BE would REALLY boost recruiting. Jim Crews still being up there in the COY race has gotta help. Lots of factors and worst-case scenario we have a dry year before getting back on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
