We are NOT an 8 seed

[McLovin]

Any “professional” analyst or bracketologist who thinks we are an 8 seed should return their paycheck and go cry quietly in the corner.

5 straight Big East wins by 10+ points, including 2 on the road.

14-6, 11-6 in conference play.

There are NOT 28 other teams with a better resume. Please.

Shhhh....

So let‘s win the BET and be a six.

 

[M.S.G.]

Yeah that graphic really bothered me on the broadcast earlier. We are a 7, if we make it to the BET Final we are a 6.

Recent bias is not supposed to be considered, nor is how they looked without bouk.

I want to be a 6. I read that the Bottom half of the bracket is statistically more likely to have a longer Cinderella run since they avoid that killer one seed the longest

 

[Rocktheworld]

If it weren’t for how we dealt with COVID and had just 4-5 more games to show out, we would be no lower than a 6 seed

Just posted this exact same thread without seeing yours due to the site issues ha. Great minds!

Win BET and this is a 3 or 4 seed.
Make BET finals and a 4-5
Win one BET game and it's a 5-6
Lose first game and a 6.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

There is not a team in the country that wants anything to do with this squad come tournament time.

This will go down as one of my all time favorite UConn teams.

 

[Jorgensen]

 

[Mister P]

Just like last year before the shutdown Hurley has the team firing on all cylinders at the right time.
Looking forward to seeing what this team can do tournament time.

I was about to put something together like this, agreeing to assume we are now a 6 seed

I mostly agree; I think we have to be a 3 seed if we beat SJU/DePaul, then Creighton, then Nova in a row, after the run we have been on already with Bouk back.

If we lose in the finals I agree and lean towards a 5

If we lose to Creighton I don’t see how we move up

If it’s SJU and we lose maybe it’s down to a 7

If it’s DePaul and we lose I would be worried about an 8-9

 

[UncleSpliff]

If we win the BET we are closer to a 4 seed than a 6. We’ll be kenpom top 15 if we win the tourney.

 

[navery12]

As long as we're above an 8 seed (and after today I think that's a lock) I'm not worried about the seed. We can hang with anyone

 

[ScuderiaDiU]

How about the team you saw in the second half?

 

[Friarsnoop]

The committee will take Bouknight's absence into account for seeding. My guess is UConn ends up a 5 or 6 seed. I'm also not sure it's as big a deal, because there's lies difference between seeds 3-9 in any year in recent memory.

 

[Kenny11]

I believe we can win 20 games. 6 more

 

[superjohn]

Love me some Rothstein.

BE tournament will determine our seed for NCAA

 

[Tenspro2002]

I think 2 wins in the BET definitely gets us to a 6 seed.

1 win in the BET and we're on the 7/8 borderline.

Lose our first BET game and most likely 8/9.

 

[Magruber]

Nor lander and Greg Doyel just discussed UCONN on CbsSports.com and they have us as the favorite going into BE tournament.
If we win out in NYC, then they have us as anywhere from 6 up to a 4.
Seeding is HUGE for us to have a Sweet16 run.

 

[huskyinfl]

I want to avoid those teams like northern iowa that magically hit like 25 3 pointers in the tournament

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

We have not been in the big dance for 5 years and we are complaining about seeding? Seriously? Quite frankly, I’m just happy we are back where we belong. Screw seeding. Just win the games and we will be fine.

 

[Peacefrog]

How about the team you saw in the second half?

I know what you mean, giving up 58 points in one half is a bit shocking. Georgetown got hot and we were doing enough scoring of our own to maintain a wide margin. I'm simply not going to get too concerned about our defense at this point.

 

[SportsFan88]

Y’all remember when we were so down and out as a program that we got so excited about the hire of Raphael Chillious and the fact that he was recruiting Blake Harris, boy have times changed!!

 

[XLCenterFan]

If Bouk doesn't go down we are a top 10 team in the nation.

Show me a team that wants to play us in the tourney. I'll wait.

[NJHusky]

Can a top 3 conf team in the BE win the BET and only be a 6 seed? Would that be the lowest seed ever for the BE champ?

It's called being on cruise control. It happens sometimes.

 

[Rocktheworld]

It's called being on cruise control. It happens sometimes.

And I wonder if we gassed ourselves a little in the first half; it doesn’t get much better than that first half

 

[Chin Diesel]

Second half was all about keeping lead around 20 and finishing game without any injuries.
