OK, so I crunched the numbers that the selection committee considers most important in a team's tournament resume, and my conclusion is how can we not still be a 3 seed? I challenge anyone to come up with better numbers from a team we are competing with for a 3!
Currently, #9 RPI And #20 SOS
Record Against Top 25 RPI Opponents: 2-1
Record Against Top 50 RPI Opponents: 8-3
Record Against Top 100 RPI Opponents: 13-6
Last 12 Games Record: 10-2
Road + Neutral Record: 11-5
NO bad losses to teams worse than 100 in the RPI
And finally, and perhaps most importantly, regular-season conference champion of the 7th-rated conference in the country!
Can anyone show me the credentials of 4 teams that are more deserving of a 3 seed than we are???

Re: Final Resume....WE ARE A 3
Glad to see tha law school education is being put to good use. Now how do we get you into the selection committee room?
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Re: Final Resume....WE ARE A 3
yes,
i agree a 3 sounds about right, but just for conversation sake, which of the big 6 conference #2 team would you put us ahead of? what about Butler. our "overall" seed should be 10, 11, or 12. if we end up with a 4 seed it would definately be the 13th overall at worst. that would surely keep us close to home. that 12 overall could send us out west with UCLA as the #1.
