They have two many good wins and are 4th in one of the top 3 leagues in the nation. Just stop the crazy talk. They are in.

Exactly.

If anything, we are an outlier compared with traditional numbers required for the Dance.

I'd prefer to avoid the 8/9 game...

Beat Gtown, then Cuse......we're talking another 6 seed....if not better.

Lunardi has them at 34th right now. They have victories over 4 teams ahead of them.

Here is my take right now:

Lunardi has them around that 8/9 spot. I think 1 win in BE Tourney puts them on the 7 line at worst. 2 wins puts them around the 5/6 spot. Win the BE Tourney and they end up 3/4. Lose in first game and they will be in the 10/11 spot.

I think a first game loss depends on who beats them. Lose to G'town I think you don't drop below where you are. Beat G'town and lose the next game you're probably 7-8. Win 2 you're a 5-6. Win the whole thing I agree 3/4.

Illinois State leads Creighton in MVC Champ game. If holds someone's bubble will burst. Good that UC fans do not have to worry about conference tourney upsets

Ralph, you're a spoon. Always stirring something...lol

As of this morning Lunardi has UC in as a 9 seed. Palm has UC as a bubble team at an 11 seed.

Live-rpi.com has UC at #69. If UC loses to Georgetown (projected opponent) on Thursday UC's RPI falls to #76.

Looks like we will find out on Sunday how important an RPI number is to the selection committee.

I really believe we are destined to be a 8-9 seed playing in Louisville with UK playing as the 1 seed. Makes too much sense.
