Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2084982, member: 6927"] I know you've said that you'd like to see your team awarded a #2 seed for the tournament. Creme has Duke as the top #3 seed, but the more I compare resumes, the more I think the committee will put Duke ahead of Maryland: [LIST] [*]Duke: #8 RPI, #20 SOS, 5 wins vs. RPI top 25 (8 wins vs. top 50), best win over probable #1 seed South Carolina. [*]Maryland: #16 RPI, #85 SOS, 1 win vs. RPI top 25 (6 wins vs. top 50), best win over probable #4 seed Louisville. [/LIST] The only thing that weighs in Maryland's favor in resume comparison is Duke's loss to Vandy. But the committee has historically emphasized quality wins more heavily than bad losses. Duke's second-worst loss, to NC State, is roughly equivalent in the committee's eyes to MD's loss to OSU. So that leads me to my next question: Would you rather be a #2 seed in Bridgeport or a #3 somewhere else? [/QUOTE]
