So what seed do you all think you'll get in the NCAA Tournament? Lol, the old reverse jinx. In all seriousness, whatever happens tonight, congrats on an incredible season and overcoming adversity. If you hang on, I'll be rooting for you in the Dance. Make no mistake; I still hate you. ;)

Borderline 14-15. It looks like there are 11-12 conference champs that are behind us in NET rankings, which would make us about 56 or 57. We might solidify a 14 seed after beating Buffalo.

I say 13. Don't think there's any chance of a 15.

Crushing CSU, a conference champ , and 2 pt road loss to Illinois might get us a 13 but no worse than 14.

I agree with Alan, 12 seems right, though I am by nature an optimist. Toledo was a 12 in some Bracketology mockups. We certainly gave notice to some people with this stunning tournament performance.

Can't see us getting a 12 as a 5 seed in the MAC but I would love to be wrong.

Bracketmatrix.com, aka an aggregation of all the experts, has us as the top 14 right now.

http://www.bracketmatrix.com /

That would put us against Texas, with Arkansas, West Virginia, Ok State, Kansas, Purdue, Virginia, and Florida State being other possibilities.

Interesting to see the other "auto bids" list

Maybe Michigan again?

But guessing they put is as 13 replacing Liberty to take on WVU. Kansas a 3 seed if we drop to 14 - Covid situation

Either one of the last 13 or first 14. Your figure someone like Cleveland State is a 15, UNCG (better resume) projected 13, so think we end of 14 .

It will be interesting to see if “star power” really impacts seeding. Preston is a media darling. Every game I’ve watched tonight mention JP and how he’ll make noise in the tournament.

I think they should have to play Appy State.

As a 14 seed is it possible our opponent would be Kansas? If so a realistic goal would be for the team to stand tall and not play scared. Playing scared is what they did the last two times and the result was a huge blow out both times. Let's hope coach boals takes note and ou doesn't play scared. Then the loss will only be in the15-20 range.

You must be talking about the last couple of times we’ve played Kansas (which were not NCAA tournament games) because your “scared reference” doesn’t measure up with how we performed the last three times we’ve been in the tournament (2005, 2010 and 2012).

Don't feed the troll. Look at his email address in his profile -- "world class dart thrower." That should tell you everything you need to know.

I was thinking 14 last night...but now maybe 13. I mean we've won 9 of the last 10 and we smoked every team in the tournament and then there was the Illinois game....I mean we had it won. Think about it....we should have a win on our resume over a team that ended up getting a #1 seed in the tourney.

What happened to Liberty, I mean besides their last two "wins" in the A-Sun tourney being over teams that are not even eligible for the NCAA tournament yet because they just became D-1? And the one over North Alabama almost turned into a loss, they had to hang on for dear life at the end.

PLEASE let somebody beat Liberty by 50 in the first round.

And while the powers are at it, let Grand Canyon play Gonzaga in the first round since the team GCU just beat in their conference tournament had losses this season to Cal Baptist, Tarliston State, Utah Valley, Cal St. Northridge.... Toledo and Buffalo will sit at home while Grand Canyon goes to Indy to play on CBS national TV.
