It'll be close. I think this loss is no more than a 3 spot drop, moving them to 28. The concern is also how UK and Miami are playing - both are hot and can enter top 30 after this weekend. Assuming X beats Hall and Butler and loses to Providence, they might still squeeze in right at 30. Rutgers playing like crap recently could help them.
You’re over thinking it. If seeding was based off of metrics they would have never been ahead of us to begin with. Them losing helps us a lot more than it hurts us
I normally think Miller would have done so but he got caught up in that moment with Neptune and just spaced out
or Creighton if they beat Marquette
It was a home loss to #84. They were analytical 8 point favorites. Even a 1 point loss is 9 points off expectation. They're going to drop quite a bit. I'm predicting #31.
Watch out for North Texas!
And that's the weakness of going strictly off metrics. Moore is back for Nova. Different team. Probably should've only been 4-5 pt faves (incl 3 for home) instead of 8.
Marquette high chance at the BET #1 seed, and maybe a #1/2 seed come NCAA’s if they run the table and others lose.
They have them as the 4 seed so that seems unlikely. 4 seed while ranked #10 in the country makes no sense to me.
He might have actually crossed half-court. Don't think being out of the coaches box matters much.
A&M has been hot. They are good. Vols are very streaky team, kind of like UConn. Big wins (Kansas, Bama) not great losses.
We can’t catch Creighton unless they lose to a bad team. They’ve got one potential loss left. If we win out we could catch Xavier, which has two tough games left.
Unless your Dan Hurley
Which doesn't matter anyway, because we are talking about the difference between a 4 and a 5 seed, which play each other in the first game.
You were more correct than I was - nine slot drop. But how does Nova only bump up one slot?
It matters if you'd like to face Xavier without Freemantle. That's our best possible outcome. Nobody should want Nova right now.
If the ideal scenario is us in the #4/5 game vs. Xavier, then yes, Xavier losing helps, though more because of their place in the standings than ours.
