Said it earlier and will say it again, but regardless of tomorrow’s outcome, we should jump Arizona imo.

Would they put Arizona as a 3 in LA? That would be a road game for us and then have UNC if we win. That doesn’t sound great to me.
I don’t think so. I think the 1s are set. I said after the K-State loss, I thought if we had won that game and the Big 12 tournament, we could have been a 1 seed. I didn’t think it was in play after that. I will admit that if UNC had lost today, I might have been thinking about that again…but I just don’t think it’s possible now. I could still see us as the top 2 seed though…
Do not think it will either, but it should be a conversation. If our jersey said Duke or Kentucky it certainly would.
What happens when nc state beats UNC tomorrow?
NCST gains a bid to the NCAA tourney.
Besides being snarky, I think that's about the only impact it would have on the tournament.
Yeah, I think the K-State lost cost us any realistic chance at the final #1. I mean, a lot of people dropped us to the 3 line (and in some cases out of Omaha) after that loss. It's quite the jump to go from the 3 line to the 1 line in one week, and while we got a lot of help, I don't think we got enough help.

ESPN BRACKET NOW HAS US PLAYING SOUTH DAKOTA STATE.
Wow. A game in which one coach recruited all the players
You are probably right, but why?
Iowa State would finish 10-6 in quad 1 and 6-1 in quad 2. Worst loss would be a neutral site game against Net 60.
UNC would be 9-3 in quad 1 and 8-3 in quad 2.
Iowa State would have better tops wins. UNC has far worse losses.
At a minimum, Iowa State is right there with UNC. Maybe they decide it's so close that non con SOS comes into play.
I think the non con SOS and the name on the jersey are the reasons why. Having RJ Davis doesn’t hurt. I’m not saying UNC is a better team. I just don’t think we have a chance. If we had beaten A&M…
To me it looks like he has Arizona as the top 2, and I’m having trouble with that logic. I don’t mind dropping Tennessee to 8, but I think it should be us or Marquette against UNC.
We can go to Omaha and still go to any region.
We won't go south because of Houston.
West will likely be UNC and Arizona
Leaving us, Tennessee and Marquette.
With that we go East, Tennessee south and Marquette MW unless we can jump both those schools then we'd get MW, Marquette south and Tennessee East.
I have no idea if beating Houston is enough to get us to the 6th overall seed, but it's now the only way we avoid UCONN in Boston.
Fans and media think the name on the jersey matters more than the selection committee. UNC might be ahead of us, but not because of the name on the jersey.
I just tend to think bias is part of the human condition. If it’s nearly even, they’ll talk their way into UNC. I do tend to think our non con SOS is a major issue though.
