re: What seed do you expect the basketball team to be come tourney time?

Long way to go still. This part of the season still has a lot of overrated teams high in the polls and solid teams being underrated right now. Just look at Auburn for an example of an overrated team.

By the time we hit mid- to late-February, the advanced metrics will be a lot more reliable, and things will start shaking out. I think there's a chance we can climb to a 4-seed, but 5 as a ceiling right now seems pretty reasonable.
