No Question We’re In Now…Is a 7 or 6 Seed In Reach?

[HooperScooper]

Jerry Palm is officially a clown...updated Bracketology this morning still has Marquette as a 5 seed, Creighton as a 8 seed & UConn still a 9 seed.

I'll chalk it up to complete laziness. Of the 3 teams UConn has the best Q1 & Q2 combined at 12-8, Marq 11-8 & Creighton 10-9. Marquette is ahead of UConn, but UConn has passed Creighton at this point. UConn should be an 8 seed or better on all brackets right now.

I think that's from yesterday. Updated today he has UConn the 2nd 8 seed. So within sniffing distance of a 7 seed.

I can smell it, the 7 line smells like the old gym floor at the Fieldhouse blended with mushroom & onion DP Dough.

Based on this, of the next 5-6 teams under us playing this weekend, we'd love a Kansas loss at home to Zona. Everyone else is playing crud. Creighton we can get in the tourney.

I'll take Houston of all the 1s if we are stuck there. Ideally want a 2 playing either Big10 team. I'll also take Drake to slow Marquette into a delirium and win that 12/5.

Please please please let us get a 7 seed with either 2 seed MSU or Wisconsin in the second round

I wouldn't mind Iowa State either.

They’re a 4 at this point, but have looked really meh. Makes me wonder if TJ has a foot out.

I am little slow and one or two weeks back when they were a #2. That's right they lost to BYU, Houston, and Ok. State.

As for TJ, I know he has been rumored for the IU job, do you think he will take it? IU is still a big brand, but that is a high pressure cooker job inside of a fishbowl.

Hard to know - I’d think if he’s offered he takes. ISU is an ok job and I know he has roots there, but hard to recruit there and he won’t get nearly the NIL. As a young guy that’s really peaked, this feels like a chance he couldn’t give up if it came his way.

Funny he updates it more than once a day. It's not like there were any games to take into account between this morning and this afternoon.

Watching Michigan St Vs Iowa and these teams are SLOW

Is this saying we are dangerous or just that we underachieved?

I feel like I have a decent handle on the danger upside of this team against the field at this point and it's highly dependent on multiple factors coming together at once, that of which hasn't happened yet this season. Is it possible? Sure why not. Hope is what makes fans bubble. Is Hurley that masterful that he stokes it on the very back end of the season? Perhaps we'll see. That's why they play the games.

Evan says that teams that are talented and underachieved tend to do play closer to their talent in the tournament. I think our 2023 team is an example. We’d probably be expected to be more dangerous than our seed suggests.
