UNC, Tennessee and ????, I refuse to believe it's still Arizona so most here would say Marquette?

Which is mind blowing because the Pod system has been around for over 20 years at this point.
Call me crazy BUT I think if we win and Carolina and Marquette both lose we are the last #1 seed!
You are crazy. We’re going to be a #2 seed in Omaha, which is still awesome!
Yes it is. The committee guy was just on TV and said there are 3 teams alive for the final #1 seed???
It had better not come down to quad 3 wins vs quad 4's. Flip our schedule and we're not losing to quad 3's which they did. We didn't have a bad loss. No way Arizona should be ahead of us. Who was 320 that we went on the road for. .Depaul?
Auburn #5 NET with a 1-7 record vs. Q1 is mindblowing to me.
Just showing up at the gym for a tough game is as important as winning it with some of these formulas. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
I doubt it they're only chance at a one is the West and that is by far our longest distance. Over 1700 miles so we'd go anywhere but south first.
That's how the system is supposed to work. The NET measures how efficient your offense and defense are and wins and losses don't matter as much. The resume is what determines your seeding which values your wins and losses, and why Auburn is probably going to be a 4 seed rather than a 2 seed, which is what you would expect from their NET.
I wonder if A&M tearing it up all of sudden has made that loss suddenly look better. As a contributing factor, in all the stars (potentially aligning) scenario. I still think it's not happening, but fun if it IS us in that group of 3 being considered.
Let's skin some Cougars!
Doesn't seem possible Tennessee could climb after their performance in the SEC tourney. If one of yesterday's losers was in contention I'd say Arizona. After that it's obviously UNC, then us and Marquette. Makes me want to puke but Illinois can still improve their line.
I mean, you would think it would be UNC, AZ, and TN, but it's UNC, Marquette, and ISU still playing...
Though unlikely we can go to Omaha and still be a #1 seed.
To be fair, we haven't been good enough for pretty much all of those 20 years for it to benefit us so there hasn't been cause for a lot of us to really pay attention.
Winning one more in that Thanksgiving tourney would have gone along way in solving this problem, everything else being equal.I mean, you would think it would be UNC, AZ, and TN, but it's UNC, Marquette, and ISU still playing...
Maybe they will have a discussion that drawing DePaul as our Big East challenge opponent isn't really on us, or the fact that the Big 10 team we play every December was trash this year, and take mercy on our SOS...
