What is the highest possible seed we could get in the NCAA tourney?

[NOTaDIME]

Assuming we win out in this extremely unlikely scenario what is the highest seed we can achieve for the dance? We would have an eight/nine game winning streak depending on the seed we get in the BET and everyone would be high on us considering our magical run last year. I think our highest possible seed is a 4 or 5. Thoughts?

assuming we win out. I would say 4

I believe that you have the cart about 40 yards ahead of the horse at the moment.

24-10 or 25-10, Big East Champs, number one SOS and a soaring RPI having beaten some solid teams down the stretch

our RPI is presently 24, I think that stretch would put us top 10

so that would remind me of 2002, when we did just that and came out of nowhere to earn a 2 seed. I believe we would be a 2 or 3 seed.

well....if we run the BET tourney how about a 3 seed like last year?

 

[prankster]

Just to put this sort of speculation to rest for a while -

It doesn't matter!

On our current trajectory (presuming we do not completely melt down) we get in with a 12 seed.

Presuming a "win-out" scenario, we get a 5 seed.

Either way we are in the 5-12 game and presuming we win, we face the same bracket of potential opponents, either way....

You're welcome!

1 is the highest possible seed we could be in the tourney...it won't happen this year though.

Assuming Jennifer Lopez comes over to the house to sleep with me tonight, how nice a dinner do you think my wife will make for us beforehand? Thoughts?

 

[freescooter]

I think we're an 11 or 12 assuming we win enough games to get in. Most likely a 12. I am hoping to win 2 of the next 3 and win one in the Big East Tournament, but don't see that as automatic, frankly. The odds of an NIT bid are about equal at the moment.

I'd suggest you get a food taster...oh, and hide the cutlery...

#11 seed is the lowest seed you should be hoping for and a #6 the highest. Running the table at this point in the season will get us a # 4 from Jeffey & Co. My bald dome index (makes me want to barf thinking about that) is telling me there is no chance in HE** UConn gets a #3 seed even if Shabazz and the Boatshow in a science class experiment come up with the cure for cancer and type 1 diabetes. UConn has a hater list 10 miles long. Thats what makes this seasons prospects of getting to New Orleans as sweet as a freshly squeezed glass of ORANGE juice!

I think UCONN will be either an 8 or 9 seed I doubt they would put UCONN lower than that. That being said if we are an 8 or 9 seed I want to be on Kentucky's side of the bracket so we can eliminate them in the second round in the 1 vs. the winner of the 8/9 matchup. That way we can ruin all they hype, all the advertisement dollars that Kentucky would have generated for the NCAAs lol.

I think this sounds about right. Best possible scenario is winning out and beating Cuse twice. NCAA rewards momentum so that would make us a 4 or 5, but realistically I think 8-10 is what to expect.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We have 3 regular season games left and 4 or 5 BET games. I'm assuming that we play on Tuesday unless we go 3-0.

Win out: 4 seed (since we will have slayed a top-5 team twice and probably 3 other top-50 teams)
2-1, BET champs: 5 seed (where Cuse ended up in '06 after winning the BET off the bubble)
6 wins: 7 seed
5 wins: 8-9 seed
4 wins: 10 seed
3 wins: 11 seed (basically treading water from where we are now - 2-1 and then 1-1)
2 wins: first four in (play-in game) or first four out
1 win: NIT home game (deserved)
0 wins: NIT home game (undeserved)

I would hate to see us in a play-in game, but better that than nothing.

 

[UConn4ever]

Lets just win Saturday first!

 

[SubbaBub]

Divide the RPI by 4 then +/- 2 lines. Which right now looks like a 6-10 seed, but lose 3 out of the next 4 and we'll be a 2 seed in the NIT.

A lot of "if's", we would be lucky to get an 8-9 seed, hopefully in UK's bracket.
That would worry the out of the UK fans. LOL

 

[jibsey]

We beat SU and i'll allow myself to start seed dreamin'.

 

[Kitaman]

Question should be asked after we finish the BET.

 

[NOTaDIME]

This is clearly hypothetical and just something I thought would be interesting to discuss. I dont think it will happen obviously, but a guy can dream right?

 

[uconnsox23]

3 seed out of the west

 

[champs99and04]

This thread is sure to bring out a host of snarky "haha...what if (insert hypothetical here)" responses, but I'll give it my best shot.

Assuming, UConn runs the table, that would put us at 24-10 (10-8) on selection sunday, with wins over Florida State (N), Harvard (H), South Florida (R) WVU (H), Notre Dame (R), Seton Hall (H), Syracuse (H), and then likely victories over WVU or SHU in the 8/9 matchup (N), Syracuse (N), Georgetown/USF/UL (N), and then possibly Marquette, Notre Dame, or Cincy in the final.

By my count, that gives us twelve wins over the RPI top 50, seven over the top 25, and 4 over the top ten. That would be a very impressive resume of victories, however you would have to take our ten losses into consideration, including three to mediocre teams in UCF, Tennessee, and Rutgers.

Compare this to last season, where our OOC wins were slightly better, and we didn't have any bad losses, and I'd say that puts us at a 4 or 5, although, the respect and fear a scorching UConn team would create might be enough to vault them into a three seed.
