Seeding in order to make Sweet 16

[AthensBully]

Assuming we could do enough to play our way into an 8-9 seed (highly unlikely, but win our last 3, make SECT champ., etc.), would you take it? Or would you rather sneak insomewhere in the 11-13 range?

Personally, I would rather be an 11-12 with a potential 2nd round matchup against a 3-4. As an 8-9, this team has almost no chance to beat Kansas, Syracuse, etc. in the 2nd round. But maybe we have a slightly better chance to beat a team like Temple, New Mexico, Georgetown, etc.

I know, I know - if we beat Rider, Richmond, WKU, Ark., and Bama, thenthis isn't an issue.

In fact, I'd like to see us as a 12 seed against a 5th seeded Butler in New Orleans.

I think Xavier would be a good 4 seed in our bracket too.

If we make it, I fully expect to be a 12-13 seed. That being said, Lunardi has us in as a 13 seed today against Michigan State, opposite Xavier/St. Mary's. All of this will happen in Spokane.

seeding doesnt mean crap, just get me in the dance and see what happens

wouldn't mind beating both those teams in the same tourney on the way to a sweet 16 or beyond

I'd sure take that — it would take a lot of work to get us into the 8-9 range anyway.

is the only talking head that has us in right now...im glad he's the only one cuz hes the only one i really trust but it just seems like no one else even has in the picture

I don't think we want anything to do with Butler. They're a pretty hot team right now. It sounds strange, but I wouldn't want to see a Big 10 team either - that's a style that we won't be able to handle very well.
