UNC would get the South?

Yes

Not me, but I've been corrected again and again.

Ok, I am just trying to figure where this concept is coming from. Apparently, the committee has had all #1 seeds play on Friday. Didn’t realize that was an unwritten rule.

If that would prevent ISU from being a #1 seed since they are going to Omaha and will play Thursday, that’s complete horse crap.

 

[cyclone87]

Think we will get either the top or second 2-seed. 1-seed would be cool, but it’s all about matchups anyway. I just want a good draw, this team could make a run if it stays locked in and hungry.

 

[isufbcurt]

Let Go NCST!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HackTheGibson]

What if, hypothetically, we smoke the top team in the country and beat them by 20+ and almost double them up? Then can we be in the conversation for a 1?

(54-28 at the time of this post)

If unc also loses by 20+ can we be in the conversation then?

(Wolfpack up 14-4 but it's super early)

 

[mctallerton]

I don’t understand the focus on the NCSOS. It’s a factor to consider I guess, but this is a full season resume. The overall is the only thing that really makes sense to me.

To you yes, but when resumes are similar they will look at who you chose to play, can't chose your conference schedule can chose your non con so it's weighed heavier in those situations

I'm not an expert I could be wrong it's just what I've been reading for a few weeks now. The committee punishes weak non cons

Here are the sites and dates. Apparently you can't be Thursday Saturday next week then Friday Sunday the following.

This is not even remotely true. Alabama was a 1 last year and played on Thursday.

Jay Williams said Houston should be the fourth of the 1-seeds after today's outcome. With that line of thinking, Purdue lost so I suppose that would put them as the first 2-seed, right?

My main point: all these talking heads don't know jack squat, but the lack of respect given the best league in the land is tiresome.

Very much so, he also kept saying Purdue has the most Q1 wins when in fact Houston has 16, 4 more than Purdue. I love how it should have been ISU is a really good team and should get a look at a 1 seed but it immediately turned into Houston should drop a lot and is in danger of falling off the 1 line

 

[ca4cy]

So with today's results.

UConn to the #1 overall and is in the east.

Purdue #1 in MW.

UNC, with a win, # 1 in the west or maybe the south.

Houston #1 in the other.

Do we move up to the best #2 and stay out of the east? Marquette then goes west and we get the MW with purdue?

 

[Jayshellberg]

ISU ncsos 324 UNC ncsos 26 it may not matter to us, but it matters to the people that are seeding the teams. Personally I think we deserve the 1 seed, but the it's the NCAA we are talking about

NC had three non-con games against tournament teams, going 1-2. They beat Tenn. and lost to UConn and Kentucky. Not sure their non-conference performance was so much better than ISU’s.

I didn't say their performance was better or worse. I said their strength of schedule was light years better.

Houston has 4 losses i doubt they fall to #4 .
But it's awesome to consider Houston is 1-2 v. ISU and 29-2 v. Everyone else.

Also false. Where do people come up with this ****?

Just last year:
Alabama - 1 seed - Thu/Sat followed by Fri/Sun regional
Houston - 1 seed - Thu/Sat followed by Fri/Sun regional

At least one 1 seed has to play Thursday/Saturday and at least one has to play Friday/Sunday due to first four games

Looking at that record it just hit me - ISU is responsible for half of Houston's losses this year.
