Either way.
I’m excited for the season tip. And so I’m happy we’re playing good teams. And this is one of those things that I hope you guys can come back to this thread and say I was wrong about. I’ll gladly take that L. |

I am pretty sure I literally said it wasn't a conspiracy in my first post. And we have, Florida state was ranked higher than us. Have we don't in consistently, no. And I'm sorry but draws are draws and you can't say ours have no been difficult. And you ignored the fact about us never playing close to home. And believe me that makes a difference.

Agreed, someone will be wrong. And not because I am on the other side but I do hope it's you haha. And no matter where we are seeded this year I feel a deep run is coming. One of if not best starting five in the country, deepest bench I can remember. And scorers at 1-5. I'm just plain excited. 12 o clock tomorrow can not come soon enough. And just found out I am off now and can actually see the game. It's gonna be a good day lol

My point here is that there is no "conspiracy" against us or our conference. If people want to go into the season feeling like the deck is stacked against us and we're destined for a 5 or 6 seed no matter what that's fine, but it's also ridiculous. If this team, with this schedule, can find a way to only lose 2 or 3 games on the entire season then they're going to get a high seed. If we wind up losing 6, 7 or 8 games (which is feel is most likely) then we're probably going to be looking at a 4-6 seed depending on where everyone else finishes. In that scenario we will take a back seat to teams from higher ranked conferences and I'm fine with that, that's the way it should be. My point here is that if we win an exceptionally high amount of games against this schedule we will be a high seed. If we lose 3 games or less this season there's no doubt in my mind we're going to be a 1 or a 2 seed come March. |

You can even have all three of these happen like last year. We got a 6 seed and played the 3rd ranked team in the country as a 3 seed in the second round. Shipped out west. The Year prior we played the #1 overall seeded team in the second round. I really don't think we had much of a prayer of advancing in some of these years (if any) past the sweet 16. I don't expect the committee to make it easier on us. I'm not sure they go out of their way to make it harder. However, it does seem our road has been tougher than it should have been more years than not. In the past 6 years I think we got a decent seed and draw one time. I agree it's time we play better than our seed but that is not the point IMO. Last edited by waterhead; 11-09-2017 at 01:21 PM. |
