cbs has a nice write up of bubbles teams(yes we are a bubble team now). said we are still on the right side but by no mean a lock anymore. same with illinois.

heads should roll if we miss the tourney!

Absolutely not. If we beat uconn, at ul then usf and make a run in BE tourney, we can get a 3 seed

even if they ran the table and won the big east tourney, the would max out at a 5 seed.

Not that it matters, but if they did run the table their expected RPI would be around 16 and they'd have between 8-9 top 50 wins. They'd absolutely be higher than a 5. No bad losses or SOS issues to drag down seeding this year.

Exactly right

We are playing absolutely terrible. I wouldn't be shocked if we went to the NIT.

meh, maybe, but you have to think uc is about a 10 right now. that would be leap frogging 20 teams just to get to a 5. i don't think it would be possible to jump 24 or 28 teams. to get a 4 or 3.

that's also assuming no upsets in the conference tourney and we all know that's how it plays out.

bracketologyexpert.com has uc as a ninth seed after today's action. playing ucla.

well not taking sides, but if you look at Uconn a couple years back they were 9-9 in the BEast and won the conference tourney moving into a 3 seed in the NCAA tourney...just saying.
