Race for 1 Seed (2/5)

[BFieldHusky]

I’ll take it though I don’t know why we wouldn’t get the East?

The s curve.

 

[navery12]

Rumors of UConn's demise have been greatly exaggerated

[UConNick]

And with Nebraska as our 3. At 5 overall, seems the committee is still giving us a good level of respect, ahead of Houston on the s-curve (as of only now, to be fair).

Go out there today and get it done. Hoping they play looser and resemble the noncon team now that the loss we’d been dancing around finally came.

UConn listed as the Number 5 overall seed (2 seed) in the South with Iowa St as the 1 by the bracket preview from the committee. Sign me up for that all day.

Yes, please.

Unfortunately I don't see that holding up. That being said we shouldn't care at all about seeding, we should be concerned with playing a lot better.

 

[FightOnCT]

A South bracket with Iowa State, Nebraska and Texas Tech is hardly something to complain about in all honesty

 

[Ewekon]

Definitely a fork in the road moment for this team.

I just hope they take it.

 

[BGesus4]

Yeah but what if we played those three games on the same day we played Creighton

 

[Hi-Low]

Zero chance the final bracketing for the top 16 ends up this way....nice to see they consider UConn the top 2 seed right now though.

The final 1 seed is certainly getable if we win out. If end up a 2 seed (or a 3 seed if keep losing) just keep us away from Michigan region.

 

[ec33]

The key point is that the committee currently sees UConn as the 5th overall team despite the lackluster last couple of weeks. Righting the ship is not going to be easy, but the pieces are there.

 

[HooperScooper]

So they consider UConn the 5th overall seed even though their kenpom is #13, NET is #10, BPI is #11, Torvik is #9. etc.? Can some of you explain that to me? /s 😀

Yes. Obviously the committee are blue-goggled pollyannas who live in a delusional world and aren’t interested in realistic discussion of all of our fatal flaws.

UConn has the best collection of OOC wins... FL / IL / KS / BYU all neutral or road, plus the home win vs top 40 TX

 

[bazz&boujee]

The committee screwing us again!!! O wait

 

[BFieldHusky]

Based on the seed list the committee announced, with Iowa St and Houston losing, UConn should be back on the 1 line.

Based on the seed list the committee announced, with Iowa St and Houston losing, UConn should be back on the 1 line.

Yes the combo of Iowa State losing and us winning a Q1A game by 10 would certainly have us back on the 1-line considering how much conversation the committee said they had on it.

We can get it back if we win out, but we're chasing now instead of leading.

Back to leading real quick.

Iowa State beat top 10 Houston this week and then lost @ top 25 BYU.

UConn lost at home to unranked, not even on the bubble Creighton and won @ unranked Villanova.

Iowa State still has the inside track.

 

[caw]

Before conference tournaments:

Houston has one more big game left at KU.

ISU has TT and Zona left.

UConn one only has SJU of big games.

I personally just don’t want Houston in Houston. Whether as a 1 seed or a 2 seed.

 

[Candyman]

Lunardi has given UConn back the 1 seed with Iowa State loss and UConn win at Nova.

 

[FightOnCT]

Iowa State beat top 10 Houston this week and then lost @ top 25 BYU.

UConn lost at home to unranked, not even on the bubble Creighton and won @ unranked Villanova.

Iowa State still has the inside track.

That’s something that’d affect the AP poll but rankings mean zilch, quads do. Creighton loss will sting, but the Nova win is Q1A which could possibly help our case. At worst keeps us at the top of the 2 line

 

[businesslawyer]

Chances are slim to none if you ask me. Winning out is the only chance and based on how we look, that doesn't sound likely.

We are 14 in KP - that has to be the lowest KP for anyone thinking they had one seed chances, ever.

If you have ever been clear on anything, please be clear on this — no one asked you.

(Having been shown as 5th in the country on Saturday, by the way, that your ranking of UConn is simply dead wrong, will that have any effect whatsoever on your trolling on this?)

 

[businesslawyer]

The Quad system remains hilarious

We lost a Quad 3 game which was immediately remastered into a Quad 2 loss and a Quad 2 win was turned into a Quad 1 win.

Some school with a nerd is eventually going to figure out that losing a particular game is better than winning it.

No one but the Boneyard thinks winning at Creighton and winning at Kansas do comparable things for your resume. Or that it makes a difference whether a team you beat on the road ends up 72nd or 77th. Quad records are just a superficial starting point for comparing teams because you have to start somewhere.

 

[businesslawyer]

You really take those that don't read your articles personal, don't yeah? Teacher?

In no one’s world is ignorance a strength.

You realize that Iowa State’s win against Houston and our loss to Creighton HAD ALREADY HAPPENED at the time time these rankings were made, right? Iowa State may still be ahead of us as of this morning, but logic please.

If we beat StJ and win out, 1 is back. Couldn’t have had a more perfect day yesterday. Houston losing at home to AZ w/o Peat was the kicker. Feels like a tie with ISU.

 

[king conn]

Torvik has us back as a #1 seed

For those fretting about Iowa St, they are the last 2 seed

Not sure Torvik thinks like the committee. If the top 8 seeds fall as is, the team want to avoid as a 2 is Illinois. I suspect Florida may work back into a 2, and if so, would want to avoid them as a 2 or a 3.

Lol he uses the same metrics as the committee. I know you are adverse to this, but go see it he has it all laid out

He does it 2 ways, as it stands now, and then he does one with predictive assuming the year is over. In both instances, he has us as a 1.

He doesn't have the time to actually read about this. He is too busy posting here!

There was nothing shared - hockey is on.
