Kansas loses to Arizona. UConn wins. A close game that turned into a 17 point win will help the metrics!
Now let's go get two more!

I think they can still bump Marquette off the 7 line. Maybe Kansas. Will def need a win later tonight against Creighton.Are we too far down the road for any true positive (seeding) impact if Texas goes on a run? Would have been nice if Baylor scratched out a win today. Or is this just strictly ball is in our court and we need to take care of our own business?
We are an 8 now.
We win tomorrow then we are a 7.
If we beat St Johns on Saturday we are a 6.
I think it’s that simple.
Agreed, but I am not sure Saturday will matter (outside of them making UConn a 6 in case they win). Laziness is always a factor in a room full of bureaucrats.We are an 8 now.

I think a win over a top 6 SJU team would be very meaningfulThere's been a good amount of evidence lately that the committee basically has the seed lines set by Saturday morning, so I'm skeptical that any title game result would matter too much, but I'd love to be wrong.
Is it possible to win a Natty as a 7 seed?I think they can still bump Marquette off the 7 line. Maybe Kansas. Will def need a win later tonight against Creighton.
Root for St. John's in the opener tomorrow
For NCAA seeding? Yes, Creighton winning was positive. For winning the Big East? No, would have rather faced DePaul.I was angry that DePaul choked but would beating DePaul in the semi have helped our metrics at all? Probably not? So maybe I’m just coping but having Creighton off a double OT game might be best case scenario?
I think wherever we stand this morning, we will stay unless we win the BET. Then maybe we get bumped up 1 line. Whether we are currently a 7, 8, or 9 seed in the committee's eyes, who knows. Us being in the Big East, take the under.There's been a good amount of evidence lately that the committee basically has the seed lines set by Saturday morning, so I'm skeptical that any title game result would matter too much, but I'd love to be wrong.

NET: 29Net is now 29
Torvik TRank has us as the last 7 seed.

You're not bumping up a full seed line from one win. We'd be a 7 most likely.We are an 8 now.

I think we are still an 8 as of this morning (and not even the top 8) and need to beat St Johns in the finals to bump to a 7. I think anything outside of beating St Johns, we end up an 8 (unless Creighton completely blows us out of the water...then maybe sink to a 9).As of this moment no prominent bracketologists have us as 7 seed which makes me feel like we have to win the Big East to move up. 1-1 wont get it done
People just throw out random stuff without doing any actual research and state it as fact.You're not bumping up a full seed line from one win. We'd be a 7 most likely.
The Athletic finally moved us out of the 8/9 game opposite Duke, but now we're in the 8/9 game in the West opposite Florida.Very few, if any, prominent bracketologists had us a 7 seed in 2014. Very few had us a 2 seed in 2005.
We may well end up in the 8-9 game, but there is plenty of precedent for the committee being on an island of its own.
