What seed do you see us eventually being in March?

[Tenspro2002]

Unfortunately it wasn't very perplexing, it pretty much encapsulated our season.

I think the first possession Drummond bricked a jumper, then Royce White took it coast to coast and dunked it over Oriakhi and/or Roscoe Smith.

The game was pretty much over at that point.

went with a 4 because i really don't want to be a 5 seed. those 5-12 match-ups are always so hairy.

of course but 5 is still better than a 6 or 7. those 3 pairings are about even in the first round but we'd obviously rather play a 4 in the second round as opposed to a 2 or 3.

There have been:
30 upsets by 13-seeds since the NCAA tournament field expanded in 1985
51 upsets by 12-seeds
52 upsets by 11-seeds
55 upsets by 10-seeds

I voted 5 but I am optimistic today. We need to avoided the 7-10 seed range. Too many upsets in those ranges.

I propose we rerun this poll after the @Villanova game, especially if we win it. If we're 17-4 at that point, I'd love to see the results.

2014 notwithstanding, you need to be a top 3 seed to have realistic championship expectations. otherwise the sweet 16 should be the goal.

Odds to make the championship game by seed​
