Final Number One Seed

[BlueDevils]

Now that South Carolina lost to Kentucky, who DESERVES the final number one seed?

 

[easttexastrash]

Won't really know until the tournies are over. Coukd be any of the following.

Baylor
Louisville
Tennessee
WVU
Duke
North Carolina

 

[BlueDevils]

Even if UNC wins out at best they should get a 2 seed. WVU and Baylor OOC schedule were both incredibly weak. I think if Duke and Tennessee win their conference tournaments it becomes a three way battle between them and Louisville.

LOL Duke and UNC.

That's a riot.

Tell me about it. Tonight's game should be REALLY GOOD. I think DD still has Coach P walk by in the back of her mind.

Charlie Creme is tweeting that if Lady Vols win SEC tournament they'll get the #1 seed. Based on their strength of schedule.

If it happens what region will they be placed in?

 

[Wbbfan1]

He'll have the Lady Vols in Lincoln and UConn in Louisville.

I think the Baylor -wv winner could get it.

 

[ASweet3781]

I think the Baylor -wv winner could get it.

Of course. That's the only team left to turn to if Tennessee goes down if you are dead set against giving it to the obvious team.

UConn lost 3 times last year to one of either the 2nd or 3rd best team in the nation, and got a number 1. Louisville may lose 3 times to the best team in the nation with no bad losses, so they should get a number 1 seed, especially playing at home.

Like i mentioned earlier

1) UCONN never got blasted by ND three times last year... if i recall correctly... each game went down to the final seconds and could have gone either way.

2) ... last season UCONN defeated Duke, Maryland, Stanford, Penn State and a few other highly regarded teams. Louisville best wins this year are LSU, Oklahoma, and FSU. Big difference there

What about good wins?
Louisville has not beaten a team in the AP top 20.

No bad losses but no good wins. You need to beat somebody to deserve a 1 seed. A team that wins their conference and has good wins is much more deserving. They simply haven't proven that they deserve a 1 seed.

If Tennessee wins the SEC tournament I think the committee will give them a #1 seed based on the RPI. It won't be deserved based on their body of work, but they'll get it anyway simply because the RPI as currently defined is a badly flawed measurement.
On the other hand, if Tennessee doesn't win the SEC, I think the final #1 will boil down to Louisville or the winner of the Big 12 if that's Baylor or WVU.
If neither Tennessee, Baylor or WVU win their conference tournaments I think Louisville would be the #1.

Probably Tenn but they are tied up with T A M with about 6 minutes to go.

 

[Blueballer]

He'll have the Lady Vols in Lincoln and UConn in Louisville.

Should be the other way around. If they meet again in the conf. championship game it would be crazy to have them meet before the FF .

 

[Blueballer]

20 fouls on A&M vs 11 for TENN (BS)

 

[connboy77]

Regardless of who gets the 4th #1, UCONN should not go to Louisville. It is absolutely ridiculous to send the overall #1 to play in the region of a team that may have beaten three times.

Announcers alluded to that during the game saying that is why they think UConn will go to Lincoln.

 

[JoePgh]

Tennessee beats A&M 86-77 (final).

 

[stwainfan]

Tennessee should get it over Louisville.

 

[Blueballer]

Tennessee should get it over Louisville.

Based on what - RPI? I don't see it unless they win the Conf. Tourney

Tennessee has beat South Carolina, Texas A&M twice, and North Carolina. Who has Louisville beat in the top 15?

 

[semper]

I'm for Baylor....and UCONN in Lincoln, for sure.
