Not seeing how we pass Gonzaga if they win out. Adding another win over ucla may not do all that much considering Gonzaga plastered them earlier in the season.

Maybe a win over UCLA and USC trumps a Zags win over St Mary's.

I'll readily admit that if we win out between now and next Sunday (and Gonzaga does the same), then sure, the committee's decision gets a little harder. But we aren't going to face UCLA *and* USC, right? Those are the 2 and 3 seeds, so we can only play one of them, and it would be in the Pac tourney final.

[azgreg]

Those are the 2 and 3 seeds

I didn't think that deep into it. Now I don't think we have a chance to pass them.

[97cats]

ugh - JD Notae

Notae isn't as scary as Ivey on Purdue, imo.

Purdue has zero defense.

Not scared of 1 player

this is accurate - AZ will curb stomp Purdue... Arkansas is just weird enough with a dynamic awkward point player.

[97cats]

Tech losing sours my evening....

[Bangkok Wildcat]

Tech losing sours my evening....

Why 97? I thought Tech losing would give CTL more chance of winning COY?

[azcat49]

Brackets has both Baylor and Kansas as 1 seeds and Kentucky and Auburn as 2 seeds.

I think the winner of the Big 12 and the SEC should get the 2 seed and that make Duke and Wisconsin as 2 seeds as well.

Just don’t know how you make Kentucky a 2 seed if they win the SEC and they would have beat Kansas like a drum at the Phog

[97cats]

Big12 will weed itself out head to head with the other being the top #2 seed -

BW - i want Tech as far away from AZ as possible - todays loss to an unranked opponent drops them to the bottom of the three line on the brink of a four seed.

there is not one team i dont want in AZ's top half more than Tech (of the possible teams of course)

[azcat49]

We are going to have to beat some physical, tough defensive team somewhere on our March to New Orleans.

Should have known you’d have a great reason for your comment. Thanks 97!

[RaisingArizona]

We'd beat Texas Tech handily IMO. It's the teams with elite three point shooting that keep me up at night. That's why Purdue gives me pause. Though their defense is indeed wretched.

[g32knights]

Back to #2 in Kenpom by .01 over UK.

[EastCoastCat]

Locked #1 seed after yesterday’s win.

Selection Sunday will be about what region we are in and what potential matchups we will face.

Will be nice once again to hear our name called out in the first 5 minutes of the show.

[97cats]

whether midwest or south i cant think of a reason as of today why me and my son wont be there the whole way - special group and timing

25years ago a team ended the Pac10 season in....

I’m with you ‘97. Not sure I can do the whole “journey” but also considering my options like the last 2 legs.

You guys handle San Diego.

[Olsondogg]

You win the pac reg season, and the pac conference, entering ncaa at 31-3 with likely a win over ucla, again…that’s a strong ass case for overall #1.

Also, we will see sooner if the zags can make it out of Vegas unscathed.

[azcat49]

If St Marys beats Gonzaga again then that’s a team I hope that stays out of our region. Would be interesting to hear how we played them in our super secret scrimmage/game in the preseason

[Olsondogg]

No matter what happens you’ll still be worried about teams in our region. Always happens.

I want no part of Texas tech and have been saying that for months.

I want no part of Texas Tech on the same side of bracket.

I'm totally down with this plan '97. And if it does end up in Chicago don't we know someone from this board who lives nearby that may play cruise director?

Thought I recalled someone...hmmm.

[prh]

I'll be in San Diego in 2 weeks

Sounds like a cool dude.

[RondaeShimmy]

Has two big 12 teams as #1s

[threenumberones]

Yes please.

[97cats]

im in love end it now, Joe

end it right fucking now!

Houston trending down- Arkansas up?

Not what we want to see

as long as Tech, Arkansas, or Illinois in Chicago are not in AZ's top half i am a happy camper.

was Ark the five? if so i didnt see that...

[Alieberman]

Ark was the top 5 seed

[RondaeShimmy]

im in love end it now, Joe

end it right fucking now!

Yeah but it has two #1s from the big 12

Likely won't hold

[97cats]

yes as you know i agree with that i said i do not think two number #1's from any one conf this season but i'd take that bracket with Houston ALLDAY LONG

[97cats]

Ark was the top 5 seed

yes i hate that they need to lose again early get to the six line thank you - you are on this stuff super rad

[RondaeShimmy]

Bracket coming later today but here's the latest seed list from the #2 ranked bracket maker on bracket matrix

...and twice on Sunday.

I still think the winner of the Kansas-Baylor Big 12 Tourney game (assuming that's the final) will get that #1 seed.

They're getting smoked by Memphis on CBS currently

Probably dropping down to 5/6

[Alieberman]

Speaking of Houston

[97cats]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man

[EastCoastCat]

The BDW jinx works again.

[RondaeShimmy]

[dmjcat]

I think we need to get past the asu/stanford winner before anyone makes reservations. Losing to a NET 95 ranked team will not help us hang onto a 1 seed.

I'll be in Las Vegas next week and San Diego the week after.

Hoping for either the South/West for our seed. Either San Francisco or San Antonio (especially San Antonio) would be great.

As for Chicago (Midwest), forget it. I'll pass on the murder capital of the Midwest. Large parts of the town are nothing more than an open sewer. Over 800 murders and 1800 carjackings in 2021. I have a large number of relatives in the Champaign area (and just north of there). They have been avoiding Chicago completely......they head to Indianapolis for anything they can't get locally.

[97cats]

lol

[UAEebs86]

As if

[RondaeShimmy]

Nebrasketball!!!

[ASUHATER!]

Wisconsin just lost at home to the worst team in the conference, Nebraska, and lost the 1 seed in the tournament to Illinois

Please don’t come. Wouldn’t want you to soil yourself.

What part of my post was inaccurate??

The 800 murders or the 1800 carjackings??

[Alieberman]

Ignoring whatever the fuck that was about Chicago......

We have the 1 seed.

Explain how we get passed up?

Kansas or Baylor- 1 must lose
Kentucky or Auburn- 1 must lose
Wisconsin or Purdue- 1 must lose

Duke?!!!!!!

[EastCoastCat]

We are a lock for a #1 seed no matter what happens in our next game. It's Gonzaga and Arizona - and the Big 12 and SEC winners. Big 10 shot it's wad so nobody from there. And Duke...hahaha.

Oh, and if we have a Chicago get together it sounds like it needs to be by invitation only.
Sheesh.

Wow...you really are a tool. If you're not careful, you're gonna overtake RiversideIsNowhereNearTheFuckingBeachcat as worst poster.
