We'll find out where the committee views us Saturday.
As it stands, some of the Bracket Matrix guys (posting on Twitter) have moved us up to a 3 seed.
1 Seeds: Auburn, Alabama, Duke, Florida
2 Seeds: Tenn, Houston, A&M, Purdue (maybe even a 3)
3. Iowa State, Kentucky, Texas Tech, Michigan, Kansas, or St. John's
4. Seed: Arizona, Wisconsin, whoever didn't get a 3 seed from above.
I think a 2 seed is our ceiling. Florida is sitting at 3 losses, and their schedule seems to be hitting an easier patch. Amazing win for us, though.
2 or 3 doesn't matter too much in practical terms. I think we just want to be a 2 or 3 rather than a 4/5. That way we avoid any of the elite teams/1 seeds until the Elite 8.
Wednesday:
St. John's at Villanova--won't help us get to the 2 line but gives us breathing room.
AZ State @ Tx Tech: same as above
Saturday:
The top 16 seeds get released and maybe screws up this whole thread.
Arkansas @ A&M. Arkansas could help us catch up to A&M with a win here. I'm not counting on it.
Vandy @ UT.
Wisconsin @ Purdue: Tough one where a win hels Wisconsin close ground on us, but I think we root for the Purdue loss.
Houston @ Arizona--Hopefully Arizona is hungry coming off a loss.
Cincy @ Iowa State--unlikely, but would help us take command of the 3 line.
Kansas @ Utah--Screw Kansas regardless
Sunday:
Michigan @ Ohio State. Road game, Ohio State has a couple of decent wins.
Creighton @ St. John's--Again,not trying to hate on Rick, just need the breathing room.
