This morning, two bracketologists, Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com and Dave Ommen (Bracket Guy) have the Coogs in the Tournament as an 8-seed. Shelby Mast of BracketWag.com projects the Coogs as a number 9-seed.
Yep, not a 10, 11, 12-seed. An 8 or 9-seed.
Joe Lunardi, espn.comās Bracketologist, has Houston as a 10-seed.
American: Cincinnati, Houston and Wichita State are in.
I canāt see a scenario where Houston doesnāt get in after beating Wichita and Cincinnati as well as Arkansas at home. I know the Cougars donāt have a quality road win. So, it would help to beat Temple, Memphis or SMU on the road in the final few weeks. But it may not be a necessity. Watch the Cougars. They are going to be in the NCAA tournament.
Temple lost to Wichita State Thursday night. On the road. But the Owls beat Auburn and Clemson on a neutral court. I donāt care that those were in November. Those wins matter. And Temple beat Wichita State at home. The Owls are a NCAA tournament team. Temple gets Houston and UCF at home and then at UConn and Tulsa on the road. Win at least two, maybe three, and there is no debate from anyone.
If Providence was a āneutral siteā, then ALL of our āhomeā games have been played at a āneutral siteā !!
Seeding generally falls within one line of what your RPI is. With the committee using Sagrin and KenPom in addition to RPI this year itās a little tougher to judge but I would say the Coogs can be as high as a five seed. Iād also say no lower than a seven seed. The RPI at 21 probably canāt go a lot higher since there arenāt any great teams left on the schedule.
