Palm has us as a 3, Wisconsin as a 3, and Purdue as a 2.

I will take a 3 spot anywhere.

Yup I’ll take a 3 seed anywhere.

I don’t understand Purdue a 2 seed either. It should be based on the body of work and there’s is worse than ours and Wisconsin. Seeding shouldn’t be based on potential.

Doesn't the committee try to avoid that?

I think the #4 seeds are fairly accurate, and if so we don't meet Arkansas in any round. I don't like that matchup for us except the Frazier on Notae (?)....

Post by: Reacher on March 08, 2022, 09:11:52 AM: I’ll be a little disappointed if we only get a 4 (but that seems likely). This team should be a 2 or 3 IMO.

Post by: Reacher on March 08, 2022, 09:12:35 AM: If we get to Sunday would have to think we get at least a 3.

Is this an insult? If so, well played.
