well we avoided the 8 vs 9 games
looks like UConn will be the second round matchup if we advance

SDSU punished again for playing in the Summit League. The Jacks are better than a 10 seed.Comment

WOW we get dropped to a 10 seed and if we knockoff Ok St, we have easily the toughest 2 seed
we are BY FAR!!!!!! the best 10 seedComment
-
Well getting a 10 was not at all what we deserved. I still think we can win our first round game. UConn hasn’t had their best season ever but they’re still UConn and they crushed Creighton so the second round game obviously won’t be easy.Comment

Oklahoma State coached by Jacie Hoyt, who was at Kansas City before she took over OSU. She won’t overlook us.Comment

Hell, they should have just as well dropped us to a 11 seed if that’s all the respect we can get.Comment

Yeah, the 10th seed is a rancid carrot right to the chopsOriginally posted by adamj95 View PostComment

That seeding makes several questions come to mind:
-Ig this team is a 10, how the hell did we ever get a 6 seed?
-What would we have been if we had closed out that Duke game and only had 2 losses?
-Is there any realistic way to ever get a 4 and those two home court games? I thought a 1 or 2 loss season might get it done, which is clearly not the case.Comment

LOL the 10 seed, but I thought we were a 7 so it's basically the same.Comment

Was hoping for a 6. This feels backwards as we should be the 7 and OSU the 10. I’m okay that we aren’t an 8 or 9. All the top seeds are tough but I’d avoid a 1 for a 2 seed any day.Comment

no it is not the same. being the 7 means that you get an opponent just barely inside the top 40 in the country. being the 10 seed means you get an opponent just outside of the top 25, maybe even a team ranked in the final poll- AND in our case, we are getting a team ranked SEVENTEEN in the last pollOriginally posted by Bozemaniac View Post
it is a joke that we are ranked 23 in one poll and 24 in the other and we get a team ranked above us
that is the difference. as a 7 seed it is very close to impossible to imagine getting a team ranked above you as a first round opponentComment

We got a 6 because they used the RPI rankings then instead of the NET. When I last checked a few days ago, we were # 19 in the RPI vs in the 40's with the NET. The NET is designed to reward average teams in Power 4 conferences.Originally posted by Southeast View PostComment

See all the discussion with peavy earlier in the thread. We got a 6 when they used RPI; RPI probably gives us a 6 again this year. The year we were the 6 we had 6(!) losses going into the tournament.Originally posted by Southeast View Post
A 4 seed and hosting for us will require 0 or 1 loss (Q2 at worst) with probably two Q1 wins. It could happen, but that would be the best regular season the Jacks would have ever had and we still would only be considered for a 4 seed. That is to say, if we had that kind of season we still might end up on the 5 line.
The good thing is that AJ has shown he can get his teams to bring it against top tournament teams either at their house (#4 Stanford, #3 Syracuse) or in friendly territory (#2 Baylor in Texas). And we have top players on this team who have the experience at 1 seed Va Tech a couple years ago.
But first, we have to beat OSU.Comment

Imagine being OSU right now. They get a 7 seed and have to play the #23 team in the country, someone who is viewed as being at their same level (who might have a little chip about the underseed), and they have to travel even further than we do to the arena.Originally posted by LetsGoRabbits View PostComment

I didn't even realize how bad this NET was until reading Peavy's posts on the page before.... Now I'm all fired up too...Originally posted by bigticket1 View PostComment
