Top 25/KenPom/RPI/BPI

[Btown Bearcat]

good to see kenpom has smu at 25 i feel they are a top 25 and also uc is getting screwed cause aac has no other team in top 25. we need smu to keep winning to help us and the conference. also good see houston in top 40

Looks like 20th in coaches poll right behind Xavier at 19. I hope those two are flip flopped in the AP.

Coaches Poll is out we are #20.
St. Mary's shouldn't even be ranked...

Disagree on St. Mary's. That Gonzaga game was closer than it looks. It was 58-52 with about 5 or 6 minutes left and Gonzaga just went nuts. St. Mary's is a good team. I think we would lose to them.

FWIW, currently a 5 seed according to Lunardi.

You're right, when you lose to a Sun Belt team and your best win is a squeaker on the road to Dayton, gotta be top 25! /s

I watched the Zags game. Foul trouble or not it didn't feel close after halftime. I think St. Mary's is an athletically inferior team that only plays good defense against garbage opponents. They also don't have enough scoring options to overcome bad shooting nights or foul trouble. We beat them 8 out of 10 in neutral court.

Bracket Matrix shows UC as a 6. I'd think a 3 is approachable, but that's probably the upper end, and then only with a strong finish. Lots of chances for bad losses and only a couple of notable wins left. The cats will have to prove their worth by quantity over quality.

So what do you think their seed will be if they win out (a real possibility).

29-2 Regular Season
31-2 With tourney win

You think a 31-2 team would get a 3 seed? That's a 1 seed most years even if you play ~150 SOS.

It takes 3 wins to win the tourney - so 32-2.

We would be roughly 15-2 against the top 100 if that were to play out. I think thats a 2 seed without much question.

A LOT has to happen though for that to be a reality. I would be thrilled with 31-3 or 30-4. Think they are both 3 seeds.
