Pisces,
I think we can agree that UK is the best team in the SEC. That may change but right now UK is the best. Earlier I said that LSU is an average team. You said they are better than average. I'm cool with that. What kind of team is UK? Good? Average?

Butler #8 cmon man. They are a top 4 seed easy.

Please tell me you made this and not someone on ESPN. This is just bad.

I think they're good. They'd be middle of the pack in the Big East. I'd rate them somehwere between U Conn and Ohio State. I think to be good, you must have a bench and post play, which they seem to have.

I wish we played them at the PMAC.

I put Butler at at a better seed...sorry just see them slipping up and losing and the committe rarely gives them anything better than a 5.


So, LSU and Baylor...who ya got?

Thanks. I don't see anyone else ever doing it, so I try to do it to generate discussion. Maybe I shouldn't.

Naw man...I like discussing this.

I would have these different IMO.

LSU more of 10 seed if any, Baylor too

Zona St a 6 seed or better.

UCONN 2 seed

Duke and UNC will not both be 1 seeds. Duke probably 2

Memphis will squeak to a 4-3 seed.

Purdue will be 5 seed

Butler will be 3-4 seed maybe 5

Xavier will be 3 seed

UF wont be 3 seed

ND will make dance

Illini St may be a 9 seed

Vandy is not good at all.

Zona will not lose 8 games

Memphis is underrated this year

You really think Butler will lose 2 more games?

ND with 12 losses? Naw

I've got them at 16-14 or 15-15. They're not getting in, unless they start upsetting teams such as U Conn, Pitt, and even a team like Cincy

Honestly, I think you're way too optimistic on LSU. Our SOS is among the worst in the nation, something the Committee values highly. Our RPI is still hovering in the high 70's. We lack any big time wins.

We're a bubble team at best right now.

FWIW, Duke is still VERY much a 1 seed, IMO and will lose only 1 more game. They, UNC, and WF are going to fight over the 2 one seeds that the ACC gets. I predict that Roy and Coach K get them. The committee is very political.

right now yeah, but its a prediction, and the prediction is based on us winning a large amount of our remaining games

I moved us up one and this is because I have us pegged at 13-3 and 26-8 going into tourney. That is solid 7 seed material, with quality top 50 wins over WSU, SC, Tennessee, Florida, and 2 more in the SEC tourney.

How would you feel about an LSU/Cards matchup in the 2nd round?
