And looking at that, seems a win today would put us up to likely a 10 seed.

St Louis? Yes please

NCAA Tournament "DanceCard" by Jay Coleman, Mike DuMond, and Allen Lynch

Based on comparing this team's resume to past teams, UT currently looks like a 99.98% chance to get in. Beating So Car hopefully pushes then to 100%.

What seed would be best to make a run. I seem to trend toward a 11 or 12 seed for this team.

Cal 100% chance of getting in? Witchita State as a 3 seed and Dayton as an 8 seed? :question:

Strictly mathematical. Plus it uses the old, non-weighted RPI, so there will be some outliers. Still they do get pretty close.

Actually, mathematically speaking, there's no way Cal has a 100% chance of making the tournament. There are more potential bid thieves still alive in their conference tournaments than there are teams currently in with less than a 100% chance to make it.

An 11 or 10, which are our most likely scenarios IMO, don't play a 1 until the elite 8. A 12 plays the 1 in the sweet 16, and a 9/8 plays them in the round of 32. That's why I want us to beat SC and lose to FL.

I only pointed it out since it shows UT in and it has only missed 1 team in 2 years. If they have Cal completely wrong then they have it completely wrong. Strictly mathematical (or computer) selection models get em wrong sometimes too.

If they miss 10 this year I won't lose any sleep over it.

How about we just win the SECT

It's all good. They are one of the last to finally have us in....

UT went from 3 teams below the line to 3 teams above it without playing a game.

I would take a 6 in a heart beat.

The only way I see us obtaining one is to win the SECT. Then we may only go as high as an 8 or 7 based on the committee. 6 would be great.

You can forget that match-up. St. Louis just loss to St. Bonaventure.

According to the brackets updated today on the matrix, the last 4 in:

St. Joseph's
Tennessee
BYU
Providence

 

[govols120]

Think your new First Four tomorrow morning (after brackets have been updated, etc., etc.,) looks something like this:

Dayton
Nebraska
BYU
Providence (I anticipate Minnesota losing to Wisconsin tonight)

Tennessee's gotta be out of the First Four group after today, barring a horrendous performance tomorrow. 11 seed!

 

[pualsline]

As of right now ESPN has us an 11

Lunardi also ranks consistently in the lower half of bracketologists, so I wouldn't rely on his numbers.

That's what I want, this team has the roster to do so if they get good production from the point guards.

Bto is riding high and bringing heat. I love it.

Yeah, but there's better out there. The Bracket Project - Ranking the Bracketologists

Either way, he's decently reliable I suppose. What matters is that Tennessee's pretty firmly in.
