Looking at the teams ahead of us, I think we're rightfully a 2 seed. Pitt we should take care of Saturday (knock on wood). Washington State and Memphis both look like solid teams that have been somewhat inflated by weak records. They've gone 4-3 and 2-2, respectively, against Pomeroy top 50 teams, vs. 7-4 for GU. I really want that 2 seed.

Couple thoughts about this.
1. They only have 15 teams. Did the NCAA decide that there will be only 3 #4 seeds this year?
2. They have Nevada as a 3 seed, and yet they argue (well) that they should not be seeded this high.

Pitt is good- no gimme. It's our biggest game of the season and if we win, we should be thought of in the 2 seed category.

Too bad that Glockner, the only clown who still thinks we're a 4 seed, wrote the commentary for the main rankings. I'll take our offensive balance over most any other team's, thank you very much.

Seems fine. If we take care of business in the Big East we can get a #2. Probably a #3. No worries.
Great position to be in. Let's just get our game focused and we can do some damage.
Glockner can go to hell ;D

Glockner can go to hell ;D At least Glockner admits that some of his colleagues like the Hoyas more than he does. But, his finishing move is the cowardly "won't be an easy out for anyone in the dance." Um, Glockner, it should go without saying that it's never easy to eliminate a top-4 seed in the tourney and just because you say that doesn't mean you can hop on the bandwagon down the road. Rant over. I think we should beat UConn. |

"Some of my colleagues here like the Hoyas more than I do"?
How about "All of my colleagues who vote on this like the Hoyas more than I do, and substantially so"?

On a side note, College Park has played itself into the Power 16 talk

I actually exchanged emails with Glockner today. I wrote to him after his comments on his podcast (yes, I'm a college hoops addict) about the Syracuse game, when I thought he was a little dismissive about the Hoyas. He was actually very nice and civil in response, but clearly thinks we're at least a rung below his "elite" teams like UNC, UCLA, Kansas, OSU, Wisconsin, etc. The only kind of out-of-line thing he wrote was that he thought out guards are "terrible offensively" - basically, his response and his attitude toward us makes me think he hasn't really watched much of us, but has relied on the conventional wisdom that our guards stink. Sure, they played poorly the other night, but JWall is near the top of the league in 3 pt shooting and Sapp has been a pleasant surprise. As I told him, I can't wait for the tourney to start so all these "experts" theories can be tested... |

Glockner won't change, guru. He said the exact same thing last year and didn't recant when we made the Sweet Sixteen.
