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?

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.

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.

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.

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?
For NCAA seeding? Yes, Creighton winning was positive. For winning the Big East? No, would have rather faced DePaul.

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. :rolleyes:

Can’t wait to see the faces of Duke when they get the 1 seed in the East then quickly realize they will play UConn in the second round. Still don’t think the committee will do that and they will ultimately overseed UConn.

I think the order of importance is:

Us winning >> Other prospective #7 seeds losing >>> Our resume wins winning

I just don't think the latter will matter enough relative to other circumstances at this point for it to be worthwhile worrying about.

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
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).

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.
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.

Their first team out is UNC, with last team in Texas. I think if UNC wins today, they are in the field despite what would be a horrid 2-11 Q1 record. But hell, if they beat Duke, they may just end up winning the ACC's autobid and make their at-large chances a moot point.
