Scenarios exist where we end up ranked #1 in the final regular season polls. Are you INSANE?!?! You can't go around saying stuff like that! The Basketball Gods have been crazy this year. You can't invite that sort of retribution! REPENT!!!

The Louisville/Marquette things is a bit more nuanced than this. Unfortunately, Louisville plays first on Saturday and Marquette second, but if Marquette ends up beating Notre Dame, it would arguably be better for us if Louisville also wins because in any mini-conference tiebreaker with Louisville and Marquette we come out first. If, on the other hand, Louisville drops back a game and we end up tied with MU, there is a possibility that their 2-0 record vs. Pitt could give them the no. 1 seed.

Obviously we want to win the conference and get the #1 seed. But if we end up in a tie at the top, I'm not sure breaking down all the tiebreaking scenarios matters much. I'd like to avoid Pitt's side of the bracket if at all possible - I think we'd beat them in a rematch but it does feel like they have our number. Otherwise, we're going to face some combination of difficult games in our way whether we're 1 or 2 seed in NYC.

Yeah, I don't care about us being ranked #1, but I do care about the number 1 seed. And, for that, the Gonzaga and Duke games tonight mean a lot. Lunardi has crapped on our OOC, which is somewhat fair, but the fact is, if we end the season with only 4-5 losses, there is no way you can argue against us as a #1. I agree that we can even have 1 seed with a loss in the BET.

A victory over Florida would have helped the OOC. Oh well. Darn condensation.

If we lose one of the remaining regular season games but we with the BET are we on the 1 line?

I would have to think so. In that case, we'd be 27-5, a top 5 RPI, 15-1 down the stretch, and something like 11-4 against top 50 teams, as well as a similar record in road/neutral games.
But first, lets win vs Rutgers.

But first, lets win vs Rutgers. It depends what other teams do. We wouldn't be if Indiana, Gonzaga, and Kansas win out and Duke (even if they lose tonight) wins the ACC tourney.

What's nice is that on March 1st, we control our own destiny to be a one seed.

We are getting a little ahead of ourselves here guys. I think we lose at least 2 more games down the stretch before the tournament. Obviously you want to win every game, but usually losing down the stretch helps take that pressure off before the tournament. I'll take a #2 seed any day - I'm not scared of any of those #1 seeds.

I care about winning the BET b/c we have always done well in the NCAA with a BET championship whereas our record w/o a BET championship is suspect.
