Somewhere, Jerry Palm is gleefully preparing to move us to a 9 seed for his next update

6 seed - 50%
7 seed - 45%
8/9 seed - 5%
that about right?

I dunno, i think maryland is F4 calibre.
St Johns all over Marquette to finish this one.
SO,
6 seed or 7 seed more likely?

Probably about
6 Seed - 54.9%
7 Seed - 45.0%
8 Seed - 0.1%
We are taking way too much stock in two very big beatdowns (Duke/MD). The resume is too strong to be put as an 8 seed. I simply can't see one conference tourney loss knocking a team down two seeds (we were in the 6 territory going into game). If Illini lost last night, we would be talking about a safe 7 seed, but yet somehow going 1-1, folks are thinking a 2 seed drop. It makes no sense.
Call me an optimist.
6 Seed -80%
5 seed - 11%
7 seed - 9%
Fortunately, the committee doesn't just look at a team's last game in a vacuum. Our resume still looks decent and the teams around us didn't really do anything to separate themselves either.
Maybe not 80% but probably like 65% for 6 seed.
88% 6, 12% 7. Would be very very surprised if we aren't a 6, especially with BYU, Marquette, and Mizzou also getting beat down today.
We have that effect on our opponents
lol could be true. but man, they are athletic as heck and well coached and have swagger. I really hope they are nowhere near us in the big bracket.
Let’s hope Maryland isn’t the 3-seed in our region lol. (Is there a rule against that since we played them twice)
If we are a 6 or 7 we won't be in their region. Committee stays clear of conference teams on the same side of bracket unless there are more teams than sides of brackets i.e. 8 sides and 9+ teams. SEC has that possibility this year.

Give me a 6 in Milwaukee with Iowa state…
You all are wrong. We'll be a 7.
I said the tourney started: win one - 7 seed. Lose the first - 8 seed.

They would obliterate Illinois. Jackson and Jefferson would own the inside. Jones is a stud and Lipsey and Gilbert, if healthy, are huge problems, too.
We're not that lucky.
Not happening.
Iowa St hasn't obliterated anyone for a while. They've been obliterated a lot lately though. Well maybe not obliterated but they haven't looked very good.

Agreed, I doubt Iowa State is a 3.

I actually think a 6 in Milwaukee is pretty likely. The 3 seed sites are looking likely to be Milwaukee x2, Wichita, and Denver. UCLA and BYU are other likely 6 seeds that would slot into Denver/Wichita even if higher on the seed list than us.

If I were buying two hotel rooms on spec they'd be in Milwaukee and Providence.
If we end up in Milwaukee, we paid a committee member. No way that we get rewarded like that.
