2025 Seed Watch Party Thread

[wtmvol]

Many said the same about Duke’s bigs when we played them a couple years ago, I think our physicality would cause them some issues. I also think it’s very likely they wouldn’t make it far enough to even meet up with us.

To be fair, I’m sure they’d say the same about us (not getting that far). Personally I’m not worried about EE matchup. Anyone we play there is either going to be really good or really hot.

Nothing last night noteworthy, tonight’s slate…

7:00pm: Marquette vs. Villanova
8:00pm: Michigan State vs. Michigan



In the first game, Marquette is probably more on the 5 seed line and likely not much threat to us, but Villanova is of no threat so doesn’t hurt rooting for them. In the late game, Michigan is saw by most as a 3 seed surging while Michigan State is a 4 by most, either in theory could pose a threat with a strong close but that threat probably is close coming from Michigan, so I think rooting for MSU is the move here.

Going by the Selection Committee's reveal last week, Michigan was a solid #4 and MSU and Marquette I'm guessing were both on the #5 line (since they weren't ranked in the top 16). Since then, none of those three have lost and Kansas has surely dropped off the list after taking it on the chin twice more. All this to say I generally agree with you that none are a threat to us, but I'm using the Committee's seed list as a starting point when referencing where teams may sit six days later.

Tough call on the Michigan game. My only counter point is that it’s at Michigan. It would move the needle more to win on the road, so a MSU win would give them a bigger boost. It’s close though.

according to Lunardi the winner of the Michigan- Michigan St game will be a 3 seed. Seems like we kind of lose in this one either way, but personally I want to see Michigan go down

How do we lose? The outcome of this game doesn’t affect us, other than potentially putting one of them in our bracket as a #3 if we stay on the 2-line.

either one will be a threat eventually to steal away a 2 seed could be ours if we don't finish strong

I doubt that. Too many other teams would also have to collapse.

Well you got your wish. Now we need to take care of business.
