[Pancho 44694]

So far, predictions have us as the top #2 seed and putting us in the Souf Region. 

[Native Horn 3498]

As long as we avoid Purdue's region, I'll be happy.

We have KU's number and probably match up better than other #1s. Put us in the same bracket. I won't mind Alabama either but don't want Houston or Purdue.

[Hagbard Celine 10849]

be surprised to see us on the same side as houston

ditto on purdue they have the best set of bigs this year

Doesn’t matter if they’re the lowest 4 though

[Pancho 44694]

I personally want the #2 seed in the West. 
 

I don’t want to be in Alabama’s region. And our fans are drunks and degenerates—they’d show up in Vegas. Louisville? not sure.

[kingkoopa6 8344]

If we end up in vegas.  Let’s goooooooo

Any chance we get a 1 seed if Memphis beats Houston here????

[cafe society 2860]

Houston in Vegas would be fantastic, sadly appears not to be happening.

Rumor had it that we destroyed UofH in preseason scrimmages. The only team I wouldn't want to face is Purdue and maybe Bama. I wouldn't mind Houston.

This is flipped. I’d welcome both houston and Purdue. I wouldn’t want to face Alabama until the FF. They are legit.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

In Vegas please

I understand that the flip probably seems the easier. We struggle against bigs (Purdue) and teams that play tough defense ( see TTU). We can match the offensive intensity of most teams, however.

[mdmost 42999]

I feel like we're destined for Des Moines with Arizona and UCLA getting Sacramento. Hell of a lot better than Columbus.

You would think but it sounds like Texas is an inevitable 2 because why use stats and logic?

Without Sasser I’m not afraid of Houston at all.  He’s out in the AAC championship game  and they are getting killed, he is their offense.  Groin injury so who knows how long he’s out.

Actually we beat them soundly in the first half and then they beat us even worse in the second half. UH outscored Texas overall.

Houston is opening the door for us to take their #1 seed.

Doubt it. The selection show is coming up very soon, the brackets are done

I know it's unlikely but given their fewest Q1 wins, I felt like they needed all the wins they could get, but you're probably right.

[Pancho 44694]

I will shit a brick if we won the B12 tournament and got sent to the same region as the #1 overall seed, Alabama.

If they lose this Purdue should drop out of a #1

It's why they moved the Big 12 tournament up a day. They wanted the championship match to have some kind of impact. Several conferences did that.

Disagree. If you don’t want Purdue, you really haven’t been following college basketball. They are not nearly as good as their seed will be and their record indicates. Alabama is way more dangerous.

Purdue will be a 1 for sure and one of the worst ones. If I had to guess:

1s: KU, UH, Purdue, Bama

2s: UT, UCLA, Marquette, Zona

[UTexasFight 9428]

I’ll bet at least 1 of the 1’s won’t even make the elite eight so not sweating who’s region we’re in too much at this point 

[The Ace of Aces 5175]

Have a feeling Houston will be the overall #1 despite Kansas’ quad 1 win number.

In that case, NET and quad system would just be thrown in the trash bc what matters is W-L record and that’s it 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

I'm going to say it....Houston should not get a 1 seed over us. 

We are up to #7 in NET. If Houston falls to 3 or 4 in NET after today's loss that difference in NET should not make up for the rest of the resume. We have 2x as many Q1 wins, less bad losses (Q3 and Q4), and our schedule was substantially tougher.

Oh I agree. 
 

And I was wrong. But Alabama js the top seed!

pissed that I'm even having to look at Denver to Birmingham flights...

[Nice Guy Eddie 13508]

Good for Kansas to not be the #1 team

im resigned to the fact that they will get a #1 seed but 2 losses against us kept them out from the top.

I think people forget they usually make a couple brackets in case there are some late upsets Sunday. Houston won’t be the overall 1.

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Q1 wins-

Texas 14

Houston 7

Q1 and Q2 wins-

Texas 18

Houston 15

Bad losses (Q3 and Q4)-

Houston 1

Texas 0

Strength of Schedule-

Texas 9

Houston 38

We moved up to #7 in NET. They probably dropped a couple spots in NET after today's loss (but it hasn't been calculated yet). We own them in ever metric except the raw NET and that's probably not a big difference after today. Houston getting a 1 over us is stupid. 

 

[MotownHorn 1759]

We’re not in the south if Bama is there

Personally I’m hoping for the east as I cooks go to MSG for those games

[Js1 85270]

Oh man, Bennett’s defense versus Oat’s high flying offense. Sounds fun 

[mdmost 42999]

So we miss Alabama. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

There's my first 5 seed to go, San DIego St.
