Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 4183728, member: 6872"] UConn as a 3 seed - probable. UConn as a 2 seed - improbable but possible. In my opinion UConn must beat Tennessee to have a shot at a two seed. By beating them, you increase your power and decrease theirs. This game is critical! There are 5 teams that are almost locks to be in the top 8: SCar, Stanford, NC State, Louisville and Michigan. That leaves 3 spots: you would, by beating Tennessee, make yourself a contender for one of those three slots. Assume SCar beats Tennessee in regular season and Tennessee loses a game in the SEC tourney. You would have equal records, head-to-head and they would have the worst loss (Auburn) That still leaves a slew of contenders for the 3 open slots and one of them will more than likely be the top team from the Big 12-whoever that may be. Down to two slots. So it means you have to hope the cards fall right to surpass four out of Arizona, Oregon, Notre Dame, Indiana, and the Number 2 Big 12 team. Beat Tennessee! Win out. Lose a game and you are out of the two seed contention. Just my opinion based on how things stand now. [/QUOTE]
