***2026-27 Mens College Basketball Thread***

You do realize there is only one of each seed in the B12 tournament, but 4 in the NCAA tourney, right?
No kidding, we are a projected 3 seed in the NCAA tournament this week which places us 13-16 in the committee’s ranking. AP has us at #6 this week and with #4 U Conn losing to Marquette along with our win over U Conn, my hope is that we go to 5 and UConn goes to 6 this week in the AP. Which should push us into a 2 seed in the committee’s rankings. If we go 1-1 or 2-1 in the Big 12, I think we still hold the 2 seed. Go 0-1 not so much. But yeah, I understand how rankings work.

3 seed is 9-12
 
Don't forget about Houston. They won both their games this week, one on the road. We were 1-1, albeit the road loss was to Arizona. They will more than likely move ahead of us in the rankings, MSU should also if they win today.
 
Yeah you’re right, my bad. I’m hoping AP moves us up to 5. Committee is wondering how we are that high while below several in the B12 conference.

ISU tied for 3rd in the Big 12. Top 8 in polls and top 8 in NET. Win 2 games in KC and they SHOULD be a 2 seed. Won't hold my breath though. We're not a Big 10 team.

I can't believe how skilled UNI and Illinois Chicago are. How in the world did they finish 5th and 6th in the valley? Was that conference underrated this year?

Absolutely a 2 with a couple wins and I think 1 more does it, remember they were a 1 seed according to committee and that's what matters not all of the other experts.

I tend to agree with this. ISU lost 1 game they should’ve won, Tech at home. You don’t drop from #4 to #9 on the seed line because of that.
