Hard to move the needle at this point of the season. Remember, the SC is suppose to look at the entire season equally.
Teams aren’t jumping us just because we lost a Quad 1A game to end the season.

If St John's is 8 o
If we were #9 overall I would guess Kentucky would been 3 seed in the South as that be Kentucky's preference over West.
They will scrub tonight and tomorrow morning so that can switch around based on today
The big question is if Florida loses to Tennessee tomorrow that is where you might see Florida just locked into the 1 even though a simple swap of SEC teams might be viable to move Tenn to the 1 line but with all the SEC teams in place that might not be an easy switch.
As we seen with Kentucky Sunday never matters so Florida is likely looked in as of today with win over Bama
Not if S-curve is taken into consideration. Since the 4th overall got the 8th overall, then the 8th overall gets the 9th overall.
Normally, the 4th overall would get the fifth overall, but since the fifth is a SEC team and the sixth is also, then it drops to the 7th, but at that point they likely consider geography and will send the 7th (MSU) to the South (closer for them) and ship the last 2 seed (St. John’s) out West.
Also, I think Auburn, having won the regular season and being the overall number one, won’t likely get another top 4 seed from the SEC in their region.
Also, I don’t think they will send us to Atlanta or Indy. Too close for us. They don’t want us to have an advantage. If you are a 2 seed Michigan St., do you think it’s fair to have your 3 seed being Kentucky and have to play them in Catlanta?
Those will be little things they will consider as they tweak the brackets.
I don’t think I would pay any freshman $2 million or more to come in and be a one and done player. He’d want to be the stud player and then be gone. Except maybe Duke with Flagg, the really good teams I’ve seen are veteran teams with very good guard play. I think getting players from the portal is working well.
I would like to see that. Could compare the two head coaches. Some BYU supporters are said to like their new coach better than their previous one.
I'd say the bracket is just about as set as it always has been by this point.
UK a 3 seed. Will get Michigan State as a (2) Florida (1) out west. BYU or UCLA as the 6. First game = Robert Morris. Maybe a play in game with IU and UNC*** to meet the 6 seed. would be my guesstimate. Personally, I'd love to see Texas tech as our 2 out west, but that won't happen. The S.C. is going to make it nefarious for us.
get ready
it's coming

Well it does look like the new guy has done a pretty damn good job. I also think he has landed the top high school recruit for next year. In any event, I would still like to see Pope coach against him. Wasn’t he an NBA coach before going to BYU?
Might have to do with the caliber of players they've been able to attract since Pope left.
the 4 number one NCAA tournament seeds NOW ?
South 1) Auburn
East 1) dUKe
Midwest 1) Houston
West (1) Florida
that just makes sense to me

East 1) dUKe

Their donors got mad and decided to open up the pocket books to stick it to Pope. Yawn.

Ohio State by 20 on a neutral court, just off the top of my head. Are you serious? Lol
Good game. Listening to annoying ass Kansas Fraschilla not so much. Thank goodness for the mute button.
So Arizona lost, does that mean a 3 seed is locked up?
Well Arizona and Maryland both lost the 3 seed should be secured now
Yes unless they give Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Texas A&M and Iowa State all 3 seeds
-Iowa St the only team with a Q3 loss in top 20 of the net. Clemson has one if you expand that to 25
Iowa St 2 less Q1 wins than UK
-Wisconsin feasted on Q2 opponents but only played 14 Q1 teams and went 7-7. Played 6 Q4 teams- same as UK.
-TAMU also feasted on Q2 teams, playing 10 of them. They went 7-9 against Q1..... and lost to UK by 12
-Texas Tech I could see being being seeded higher than UK. Had an 8-2 road record. Won @Houston, @BYU, @KU. They did have a rather pedestrian non-conference though.
We will know soon enough. There isnt much justification to seed all 4 of those teams ahead of UK outside of bias.

This guy still has Kentucky as a 4 seed and not even close to being a 3 seed coming into the day

(1) Auburn*, Duke*, Houston*, Florida
(2) Alabama, Tennessee, Michigan State*, Texas Tech
(3) St. John’s*, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Arizona
(4) Maryland, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Michigan

Yep that is the only one so far this year last year we had 5
Still potential for possible 1 to 3 more pending on if VCU or UC San Diego would get at large bid
Memphis 100% is in so if UAB won that be a bid steal
My updates. TIFWIW.
1 seeds are locked, IMHO:
Auburn(South), Duke(East), Houston(Midwest), and Florida(West).
2 seeds are pretty much wrapped up:
Tennessee(Midwest), Alabama(East), Michigan St.(South), and St. John’s(West).
They won’t send Tennessee and Auburn to South or West. I think Tennessee winning today puts them just barely ahead of Alabama and they will send them to Indy (closer than Newark). Bama goes East. Michigan St. gets geographical preference over St. John’s. I have MSU ahead of the Johnnies despite today’s outcomes. MSU has some impressive wins recently.
The 3 seeds should be:
Kentucky(West), Wisconsin(Midwest), Texas Tech(South), and Iowa St.(East).
I am not sure about the order for those, except I think Iowa St. is the last 3 seed.
I believe the SC will put UK with St. John’s because that’s a marquee Sweet Sixteen matchup with Pitino vs. Pope. Also, they won’t put UK with Auburn. They won’t put another top 4 seed from the SEC with Auburn. So, I think the logical landing spot would be West. We pretty much can’t go East or Midwest because of UT and Bama.
Iowa St. might drop to a 4 seed, but I think they hold on to the 3 seed.
Finally, the 4 seeds:
Texas A&M(Midwest), Arizona(West), Maryland(East), and Michigan(South).
Thinking matchups and geography, the potential for A&M vs. Houston in the Sweet Sixteen has to be given consideration. Arizona makes sense to stay out West. Maryland makes sense to the East geographically and a potential Devils and Terps matchup in the Sweet Sixteen is good for ratings, as they renew their rivalry.
That’s my take on the top four seeds in each region.
But the SC might do things a bit differently.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they switch UK and A&M or something like that. Or keep A&M on the 3 line, with Iowa St. moving to a 4. But I think to keep some space between the top part of the SEC, they might move UK down to the 4. That may actually benefit UK, since that would likely put UK in the Indy bracket. But I think ratings drive a lot of this and that a potential Pope vs. Pitino matchup will be hard to pass up. Also, A&M/Houston is another marquee matchup with them both being from the Lonestar State.
Another thing, which I mentioned in a previous comment, I just don’t see them giving UK a chance at Indy or Atlanta. They know the disadvantage that would put on the higher seed in those regions. Wouldn’t be fair for the 2 seed in the South (MSU or St. John’s) to have to play against 3 seed UK in Catlanta or for 1 seed Houston to have to essentially play a road game against 4 seed UK in Indy.
Absolute worst case scenario, IMHO, is they make us the 4 seed in the East. That’s a rematch with Duke in the Sweet Sixteen. I can see the SC doing that for ratings.
Going to be interesting to see just how this plays out.

I think ultimately they will make Iowa state the 4 and give the nod to A&M for that last 3 spot
I never said we didn't have any quality wins. When Ohio State beat us by 20, we were without Kerr Kriisa. He was averaging 4.4 ppg this season on 28% shooting from the field. Give me a break.
Travis Perry averages more ppg per 40 than Kerr did this season. Do you think every team has been at 100% roster strength for an entire season?
No use arguing with him, he's poo poo us all year then doesn't show when we win
Yeah, pretty sure you're retarded. That, or you have me confused with someone else. Either way, yeah. Been posting here for 24 years now.
