Update to the seed vs. quality chart after this week's game:
A win at Iowa seals a #4 seed. If the Illini lose to Iowa, but win two games in the Big Ten tournament, they keep their #4 seed as well. I even think if they win one game in the tournament, they'll probably be the lowest #4 seed.Looking at the 4 seeds vs 5 seeds on bracket matrix...all the 4 seeds are looking very dangerous. Us, Alabama, Kentucky, and Auburn. Some years the 4 and 5 seeds are pretty interchangeable. This year those 4 seeds look considerably scarier than the 5's.
But obviously bracket matrix isn't official. It would be very unfortunate if we dropped to a 5 and got matched up against one of those current 4's. Or vice versa.
One more win this year clinches a 4. With that being said, let's win tomorrow and get to Sunday of the BTT and see if a 3 loses a couple in a rowA win at Iowa seals a #4 seed.

For sure. In the end, the percentages should play out with the Illini being a 4 seed. It'd be very nice to see them in the final against PU on Sunday.One more win this year clinches a 4. With that being said, let's win tomorrow and get to Sunday of the BTT and see if a 3 loses a couple in a row
Gross. Both teams were on the fence. Creighton did hit a sick shot to win it and bama drilled one to tie it.... But I still don't like itCreighton and Alabama with NCAAT style victories to stay in front of Illinois.
I don't see AL as in front of us. Beating ark at home in OT because ref didn't call hit to head on dunk near end of regulation doesn't count as ncaat winCreighton and Alabama with NCAAT style victories to stay in front of Illinois.
I’ll take a stab at what I think the committee has the top 16 seed line today:Updated records since official Bracket preview:

Like others have said, just win until the BTT championship game and we should get a 3 seed. Baylor or Iowa St going one and done in the Big 12 tourney would solidify that.
Unfortunately, Duke will be in there somewhere…I’ll take a stab at what I think the committee has the top 16 seed line today:
1. Houston (1)
2. Purdue (1)
3. UConn (1)
4. Tennessee (1)
5. North Carolina (2)
6. Arizona (2)
7. Marquette (2)
8. Creighton (2)
9. Kentucky (3)
10. Kansas (3)
11. Iowa state (3)
12. Baylor (3)
13. Illinois (4)
14. Auburn (4)
15. Alabama (4)
16. BYU (4)
Next 4: Wazzu, Clemson, South Carolina, Florida….
Forgot about Duke… ewUnfortunately, Duke will be in there somewhere…
Yeah I could see this. They really need to win that first game of BTT to feel comfortable.Drake beating Indiana St today should have taken away a P5 bubble spot
Right now I am not sure if MSU is in after today.
I normally don’t think conference tournaments mean much for the NCAA but with how close resumes are the first two rounds will burst bubbles or strengthen resumes. Still doubt you get full credit for the quad 1 wins
I think MSU is still safe right now. While not great, losing in Bloomington was only a Quad 2 loss. I think their win over NW keeps them safely in the field. However, beating MN on Friday makes them a lock (if not already).Drake beating Indiana St today should have taken away a P5 bubble spot

I honestly i dont see a path to a 3 seed. Too many good resumes ahead of us. We are 5-6 in quad 1 games and 5-2 in quad 2 games (10-8).Wow -- and the #3 seed venues are all in (relatively) great/accessible locations.
* Memphis
* Indianapolis
* Pittsburgh
* Omaha
As I look at ESPN --- Kansas, Creighton and Baylor can all be passed this week.
