Thank you. So if you’re looking at a projected bracket you may see Omaha assigned to East and West but that is not set in stone?

Correct, but ISU is likely going to be in the East or West
Can’t be in South because Houston will be there
Likely won’t be in Midwest because Marquette will get that spot

Arizona losing has to give us a chance to jump them if we win tonight, you would think. I was skeptical about Arizona’s position above us before that loss.

Lunardi has ISU above Arizona as a 2, which is perfect
So, let me see if I got this straight...
If we beat Baylor tonight, we'll be a 2nd seed...but probably out East if we win 2 games in Omaha. We then could potentially run into UCONN out East somewhere...yuck.
OR...
We lose to Baylor tonight. Stay in Omaha but as a 3rd seed. If we win 2 games in Omaha we would stay in the Midwest region where we could eventually play Purdue somewhere in the Midwest.

Literally anything can happen in the tournament. Worrying about a potential Elite 8 opponent at this point seems silly. Just get the two seed and home court advantage at Omaha. Hilton West!
So in that scenario we'd be a 2 in the west (Omaha) with Zona a 2 in the east?
We've got no chance at a 1. That's Purdue, Houston, UCONN, and UNC IMO.
Agreed. I think those are all locked up regardless of what happens over the weekend.
I actually think the 2 line is locked in as well. Iowa State, Marquette, Tennessee, Arizona.
For me:
Midwest: 2- Purdue 7-Marquette
South: 1-Houston 6-Arizona
East: 3-UConn 8-Iowa State
West: 4-Carolina 5-Tennessee
Compare our resume with UNC and consider us winning against Houston and UNC losing tomorrow. We deserve to at least be in the conversation if that happens.

Just made a 3 seed their *****, don’t tell me this team has a ceiling
Just wondering, with the way both Tennessee and Arizona lost today, if there's any way we can climb up the 2 line... ESPECIALLY with whom we have to beat in this tournament.

Better chance at not being the last two, which would probably put us in UConn’s bracket
Tennessee we likely need to win tomorrow, but imo I think we should be above Arizona already. The Wildcats have the pedigree to go deep, but they aren’t consistent enough. They have some head scratching losses this year.
