Official Seed List Watch Party Thread

They could use it as a tiebreaker. Cincinnati was dropped from a 1 seed after Kenyon Martin was hurt in the last week of the season about 24 years ago.

They will absolutely take it into account, although if we win Saturday and play well in the SECT, it may not affect us quite as much. That’s a small sample size.

I was at the game in Memphis in 2000 when Kenyon Martin was injured. Saw his leg buckle as he went down and told my buddy “he broke his leg.” You could hear a pin drop in that place. That Cincy team would have been the overall #1 seed. They were dominant that year. Instead they lose that game, get a #2 seed, and are bounced in the second round.

Ahh…So it was 23 years ago. I remember it vividly. I was in WV on a ski trip in college during spring break when it happened and a bunch of us were watching it on tv from the chalet we had rented.

So with the win last night and some other recent results it feels like we can probably say the floor is a 4 seed, a 1 is almost certainly out of reach at this point so really looking like 2/3 seed as most likely.

Tonight’s games for NCAAT seeding:
6:30pm: Xavier vs. Providence
7:00pm: DePaul vs. Connecticut
8:00pm: Oklahoma vs. Kansas State
9:00pm: Texas vs. TCU
9:00pm: Chicago State vs. Gonzaga


Tonight’s games for SECT seeding:
7:00pm: Auburn vs. Alabama
7:00pm: Vanderbilt vs. Kentucky**
9:00pm: Missouri vs. LSU

**can make a case for either Vanderbilt or Kentucky, if Kentucky was to lose out it would open the door for a 3 seed, Vanderbilt however if they win out could come into play as a 4 seed contender**

Yes. Arkansas getting embarrassed last night wasn’t a good thing for KY. They close out at Arkansas on Saturday. Bud Walton Arena is going to be crazy.

With how Kentucky is playing, I just can’t see Vanderbilt going into Rupp and winning. Not even going to get my hopes up.

This will be an exceedingly rare occasion in which I will be firmly behind LSU

I’m with you, and that’s alright if Kentucky wins, just means 4 seed instead of 3 which ultimately whatever…just need a double bye.

Yeah, just beat Auburn on Saturday and go from there. Being on the side of the bracket with Texas A&M instead of Alabama would obviously be preferable. I think we beat A&M on a neutral court.

But, if we were to get to the semis and have a chance to pick up a win against Alabama again, could possibly lift our chances for getting a 2-seed. Not likely since the committee doesn’t watch conference tournaments, but you never know. Their criteria changes every year.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

VandyBoys beat the Cats. I’m shocked. Stackhouse going to get another extension lol. I guess that opens the door now for a 3-seed in the SECT. Not sure what result I want in this Auburn game. Do I want a heartbroken Auburn on Saturday? Or an Auburn coming off a high but playing for better seed?

 

[joevols89]

So where do we end up in a 4 way tie with Vandy/Missouri/UK/UT? 6?

With the short end of the stick since we went a collective 1-4 against them.

Could be worse. Could potentially be 7 if Auburn won tonight? 2-5.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

So if we win and Kentucky loses to Arkansas Saturday, we lock up the 3 seed.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I don't think we are tied with 4 teams

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

That's what I see yes

So if we win and Kentucky loses to Arkansas Saturday, we lock up the 3 seed.

 

[joevols89]

If we lose, UK loses and Vandy/Missouri win.

 

[joevols89]

LSU currently doing us a big favor though.

LSU up huge on Missouri

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Alabama is going to win. And Mizzou is getting pounded. Double bye locked up by the end of the night?

Tie with Vandy still on the table or 3 way tie with UK/Vandy. We would win the head to head tiebreaker if its just us and Vandy I believe. And we would be 5th if it were a 3 way tie.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN will be no better than #3 and no lower than #6.

**1) Bama (16-1)(at A&M)

Probably have the 2-way tie breaker with Vandy since TN beat Bama and VU lost to them. 1-1 head to head. Then records versus #1. Then #2. Etc..

I hope that LSU can knock Missouri out of the TN tie scenarios.

If we win Saturday though, we’re no worse than 4th right? Regardless of what Vandy does?
