Wichita just beat cincy meaning the 1 seed is up for grabs in the conference tourney
i was rooting for that at first but after thinking about it, the 1 seed means we can only play cincy or wichita once, only 1 resume builder (tulsa likely to finish 4th)
our bid to the tourney is basically secure… (GO COOGS!! crazy to say that)
so whats ore important?
a higher aac seed for a higher chance to win the conference tourney to claim the conference tourney championship
take a 2/3 seed for a better resume boost to get a better seed in the ncaa tournament and a better chance to advance
note: we can still win the regular season title on a 2 or 3 seed
If we win out and Cincy beats Wichita State, we get a 2 seed. About the only difference between a 2 seed and a 3 seed is prestige. On the other hand, in my opinion there is a huge difference between a 8 seed and 7 seed in the big tourney. Us winning out and then making it to the semi-finals, should be able to score us a 7th seed or even a 6th.
that site isnt credible …itt had us at a 6 seed before beating cincy when almost everyone had us at best a 10 seed
if you are looking for a realistic projection of seeding use bracket matrix (a super composite of dozens of bracketology) http://www.bracketmatrix.com/
The flaw in that logic is that you see Wichita State as a good enough team to be Cincy twice but still struggling enough to lose @UCF or @SMU. It can happen but I’m sure our team is more focused on our performance and not Wichita’s.
wichita is a 3 point shooting team…hot and cold is their specialty
they needed a 16pt comback to barely beat temple 3 days ago…the temple we just demolished…
