If only the selection people would do the math. #26 ranked team / 4 brackets should put us at 6.5 seed so let's round it down to 7. Shouldn't be that hard for them but you are probably correct about the 8th spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be that hard for them but you are probably correct about the 8th spot. Except the RPI has us in the 7 to 8 seed range. We have 0 wins against the RPI top 25, only 2 wins against the RPI top 50 (both over Temple), and two bad (RPI 100+) losses to Long Beach St. and Memphis. We have a very thin resume at this point. The saving grace is that the committe will likely give us a pass on losing 3 games to UCONN, so long as we don't get destroyed by 50+ again tonight. I actually wouldn't be shocked if we end up a 10 seed and would actually prefer it, but I think the most likely outcome is an 8 or 9 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they figured since we were brave enough to show up and take our punishment, we deserved a few ranking points. Or it could do with increasing our SoS by playing #1 again.
