Possible Tournament Seeding Scenarios

[chasingwildcat]

If we lose all remaining games, we’re probably a 5-6 seed. A deep run in the SEC Tournament (SECT) could push us to a low 4 or high 5 seed.

If we only beat LSU, we’re probably a 4 seed, even if we win just one or zero games in the SECT. A deep SECT run could boost us to a 3 seed.

If we beat LSU and win one of the games against Auburn or @ Mizzou, we lock up a 3 seed. A deep SECT run could push us to a 2 seed.

If we win all remaining games, we’ll be a high 3 seed or low 2 seed. A deep SECT run could secure a 2 seed, but our ceiling is a 2 seed—there’s no chance of a 1 seed with nine losses already.

I don't rule out the possibility of getting a 3 seed just by beating LSU

yes, it could happen

but a 4 seed is more likely.

I hate bracketology stuff.. If If If If If .. No one knows where we will play , who will play , or a seed or anything , but let's spend 4 hours a day in depth discussing seeding . Its sooo overdone IMO

See I have to disagree, the Saturday rankings and the bracket guys all have us much higher,

I think that would be difficult mainly because that would put us around the 9 or 10 seed in the SEC tournament vs a Quad 2 South Carolina or LSU. And losing that would probably knock us off that 3 seed line. In that scenario (going 1-2 in our last 3 regular season games with LSU as the win) I think you have to win the first SEC tournament game.

If we win 2 more games between now and the NCAA tournament(including SEC Tourney), we are no worse than a four seed. They are not going to move teams around a ton from here on out. A seed line here or there. The caveat would be losing to LSU at home. That could drop us more than a seed line.

Beat LSU and get one more game your the highest 4 or the lowest 3. Beat LSU, Auburn and get a game or two at the SEC tourney and then I think your a higher 3 seed

What if we win out and make SECT ‘ship game??

What if we win out and make SECT ‘ship game??

I think a 2 is the absolute ceiling. The top 6 all have such strong resume's, unless someone just loses 4 straight, we're not going to pass them.

If we win out, we'd almost assuredly be a 2.

2 is the ceiling. The ones feel like locks at this point

Somewhere between 4 and 6 seed.

All I know is they will have us playing Arkansas, Louisville and St John s to get to final four.
And the refs in all of our games will be Pat Adams , Oglesby, and Orlando’s Poole

There will be so many SEC schools in the field that teams could get pushed down a seed line for matchups in the early rounds.
