Project us to win 4 of our last 6 games. Note these seed projections do not include postseason conf. tour.

I think we've got a shot to get to a 3 seed as a best-case scenario. More realistically I think we will be a 4/5 seed... And I wouldn't be surprised if Cuse is the 1 seed we would inevitably face.

3 games against good teams; two of them at home. Would love to go 2-1, but even 1-2 (which this site predicts) would leave us in good shape. 0-3 would be bad, although as long as we win the other 3 games against the bad teams, there's no chance we miss the tournament.

What's most important in my mind is getting up to the 3 seed in the conference for the tournament. We've locked up a first-round bye, but if we finish 4th or 5th, we have to play a really good team in the quarterfinals. Would much rather have a cupcake to all but guarantee our spot in the semis.

Not sure Cuse will be a number one seed. I believe Vir. will win the regular season ACC crown. If they will the tour. they will be a number one. However the ACC tour. Could go to Duke since it's in their backyard.

Looks about right. I think we have a decent shot to go 5-1 over the last six and that might get us up to a 4.

Say we go 29-5, the other top 5 teams beat each other at the right times and we win the AAC tourney & regular season. Where does that put us? 2 seed?

If we run the table I would think a 2-3 seed is very realistic. We would have beaten 4-5 ranked teams.

We won't snag a 3 seed unless we run the table, and if we did that we'd have an outside chance at a 2. I really think we'd need to win the conference tourney for a 3 seed, we might be able to get one if we drop one during the regular season then run through the tournament. I'm not sure if we'd get a 5 seed if we lost two games, but it also depends on what happens with the other top teams in our conference

Let's run the damn table. Ten toes in starting Thursday vs Temple

Anywhere from a 2-6 is still possible.

2-Seed means running the table and winning the AAC tourney. Might be able to lose at L'ville and still get a two if UConn wins the AAC. And probably still need some help from higher ranked teams losing.
3-Seed is almost the same as above but involves fewer teams helping UConn out. Requires UConn to at least make the AAC finals. Doesn't require miracles to get this #.
4- Seed is where I think UConn most likely ends up. Allows for a loss in the regular season and a loss in the AAC in the semi-finals.
5-Seed means that UConn loses at least one more WTF regular season loss and a loss in the AAC.
6-Seed means the Boneyard will be up in arms. I don't want to think about this.

Cuse will be the weakest #1 seed, so hopefully they are in our bracket. They really are not that good, a 2 man team right now.

Well Goodman has us as a 18th seed!
