Message: [QUOTE="Rico444, post: 4542564, member: 263"] At this point, instead of just looking at what our resume would be, you also have to look at the teams ahead of us. We know there are 16 teams ahead of us right now - - even if we win out, can we pass 9 teams? A few of those teams we probably have no chance of passing unless they completely collapse (Purdue, Houston, Bama, Kansas at the very least) so that doesn't leave very many spots if we want a 2. Especially when you factor in that some of those teams are in the Big 12 and most of their potential losses would be to each other and probably wouldn't affect their resume all that much. I think we can sneak into a 3 if we win out but I don't think a 2 is realistic. You have to factor in that despite our strong metrics, the committee said that wasn't good enough for a top 4 seed, so we know they don't value our resume as much as we thought they might. [/QUOTE]
