Final Resume....WE ARE A 3

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???

I couldn't agree more. X will be a 3 seed...everybody in their way will fall.

6 game winning streak coming right up.

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.
