I honestly think AZ fans are really going to like KC once they get a taste of it. Besides, Southwest flights are generally cheap.
One good thing about palm putting us at the 1 is that it'll be sold for us on CBS tomorrow during the big 10 championship game, and if we don't get it, it'll certainly be a question that gets asked
If the committee is supposed to look at the entire resume…focusing on non conf is the worst way to NOT do that because it’s stressing specific games that are the furthest away. If they did focus on specific parts, it would be the recent games, not November.
Ward was a huge part of why we dominated the b12 tournament and he didn’t play at that holiday tournament.
I am going to bed thinking either we are a 2 seed in the Midwest or a 1 in the west.
What a year so far
What a year so far
I'm in the same boat. I want the #1 seed; I think we deserve the #1 seed; but I also don't know what the committee is thinking and I won't be disappointed if we're a #2 tomorrow.
And it's fine for people to project that way. Just don't use bull**** reasoning like "NC has a better resume" when you clearly haven't actually looked at the resume - or at least aren't explaining why you think that.
Yep. We've gotten away from the 'last 10' measurement that they used to consider (and i do see justification for that), but its absolutely asinine to turn around and place double emphasis on a metric that looks only at the early season.
Especially when 2/3 of that metric isn't the actual challenging games that are the supposed reason for wanting to consider it, but instead that 2/3 is just 'how trash were your trash buy games' that everyone schedules early in the season
These same guys take a road trip to a new stadium every year for football (TCU next year).
Arizona will definitely be the 3rd or 4th biggest fan presence next year in KC depending on if Tang has torched his program fully yet.
Earlier someone (Marmot?) posted correlations on seeding with different metrics. The avg of KP and SOR was the most correlated. Here is that avg and the ensuing seed- note this does NOT include todays game for the SOR - so it will only get better for ISU and worse for UNC.
I think they have a legit shot at a 1 seed.

He had us as a 3 until yesterday's win. Here's hoping this is because CBS gets a sneak peek at the bracket for doing their graphics in prep for the selection show....

The Tar Heels stay on the top line of the NCAA Tournament projected bracket was short with Cyclones earning a No. 1 seedwww.cbssports.com
What a full 3 years considering that winless season before it.
Never could have predicted it. So amazing.
LMAO that nut sack still had us as a three just a couple days ago.Palm now predicting us a 1?

And another good reason for not having your tourney final on Sunday. It is much better for everyone on the committee to have a night to digest things. This works in our favor
I was just going to say this. Jerry Palm always has us lower than anyone else. If he has us as a 1 seed, that’s significant.
Correct, Oregon wasn't going to get an at-large. (UO had climbed into the vicinity, but not close enough)
I’ve been beating this drum for weeks. Counting Non Con SOS is a load of crap. SOR is the only metric needed. Insert the “Big 12 is gaming the system” idiots.
I don't even care that much if we get a 1 or a 2 seed. I don't think our path will be that much easier either way. I just love the fact that there is some intrigue for us going into the selection show.
Why has it become acceptable for the College Football Playoff committe to discuss "eye test" but not college basketball? Iowa States and North Caolinas resumes are extremely similar. Iowa State just absolutely DOMINATED the Big 12 tournament and dismantled #14 Baylor and put a historic beatdown on #1 Houston. UNC meanwhile barely squeaks by a mediocre Pitt and was controlled by NC State.
Eye test...all else equal...who is the better team right now???

A lot of the national basketball guys are finally sold on ISU. Gary Parrish, Jeff Goodman, Rothstein.
