Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 4560499, member: 3806"] A 3-seed in Bennett’s latest bracket on the Athletic, popping up just in front of Tennessee (who’s his highest 4). We’ve also drawn ever closer to Tennessee on bracketmatrix, Tenn’s average seed there a 3.22 while we’re a 3.68. And that’s only still taking into account brackets released as of yesterday, I believe. That gap will narrow, I bet, as today’s brackets are factored in. I’m not one who thinks we can get all the way to a 2, but a path to the 3-seed is forming. We know Saturday won’t matter to the committee (though it should. I do think conference tourney champions should receive a slight boost for winning that, even if it’s just re-evaluating their metrics factoring in 3-4 more quality wins). But I think getting past PC and topping Marquette would be enough to solidify us as a 3. I would lean towards a 4 being our floor if PC got us, but as I’ve said numerous times, I don’t trust the committee. [/QUOTE]
