No way the committee is going to take us from a 1 seed to a 4 seed in two weeks with no bad losses
Said another way, don't lose Saturday or Wednesday in KC. If we drop one of those, 4 seed would definitely be in play.
Screwing Tang out of his contract is going to have repercussions I believe.
They definitely do, I just look at them now as maybe a S16 ceiling. He is a really solid player.

I really, really doubt it. Right now, I'm guessing we're hovering on the 2/3 line, lose to ASU and we're a 3 for sure. Won't drop to a 4 because the conference tournament isn't given much weight, if any.
Occam’s razor here tells me he asked about roster budget and they couldn’t give a firm number given that Tang isn’t playing ball. Otherwise turning down a P4 in the current environment seems crazy
I hear what you are saying but not if they couldnt beat a 9 seed in the MVC
Here is my question for those of you that follow this closer than i do-if ISU runs the table next week and wins over AZ or UH, or both, do they sniff a 1 seed?
A lot of posters here have been putting a LOT of faith in the consistency of the committee. I'm trying to think of a time we've been placed favorably.
Meh. UMBC beat Virginia when they were a 1 seed. One game does not mean diddly on how much potential they have.

We haven't benefited as much as you'd think in the past, so I doubt it.
Yeah pre NIL though. Lot less upsets since that started
No. Committee has said conference tourneys mean nada. They'll have their bracket, espeically the top seeds, done by Friday of next week

no chance. P4 tournaments may have more of an impact than normal this season given that Houston, Illinois, Iowa State, and Nebraska will have beaten no one good for a week+, but Iowa State isn't going from a fringe 3 to a 1 with UConn finishing strong and Florida being unbeatable since January
Crazy things happen in conference tournaments, just like they do during the regular season. Belmont scored 100 on Drake earlier and they were likely looking past them. Good for Henderson.
