Lots of pundits are saying that we will play in against Michigan St.  if we are in the committee must have addded us into the mix before the loss.  If we have to play in I think a power 5 team and a legend coach like Izzy would inspire his group to finish us off.

It would be a game that would probably get national interest, but being in that position would really be a disappointment.

Going into the weekend as a 8/9 and the Temple loss send us to an extra game to play as an 11?   I get some of that is out of teams control with the other tournament outcomes but if we are a top 40 team we should be a 10 seed.

Playing to the level of our competition all year really burned us.

I've seen a grand total of three outlets predict brackets.

Here they are:

CBS
10 FAU
7 Boise

ESPN
Play In
FAU
MSU

Fox
Play In
FAU
TX A&M


My go to stats site says we are 78% in without a play in. I like CBS most from the credibility standpoint since they have the most invested in media rights an may enjoy fringe benefits.

And undefeated FSU sat at home and watch the final four. NOBODY knows what the committee will do. We didn't handle business.  The chips will fall where they will.

I think we’re probably in but to Rick’s point we have a realistic shot at going from Final Four to First Four #TRASH

Nevermind, I was wrong. Play-ins historically were into the 6/11 game but appear to have changed to the 7/10 so we’d need to be top 38 to make that without a play-in. 

I want no part of MSU, Colorado or a revived TAMU for a second time this year. Many signs point to tough sledding ahead.

Didn't watch, but see UAB did. Assuming we get in, would be funny if they end up the higher seed.

I try to put our stupid losses out of my memory but based on wins I don’t understand how we are seeded behind like 6 Mountain West teams. Boise was at the ESPN invitational and I don’t think they won a game, but they could conceivably be a 6 seed? SDSU has 10 losses and several sites project them as a 5 seed? I’m not mad about FAU because we dropped several bad games but it’s a little sad that our conference is thought of so poorly. I think UAB is good enough to pull an upset and if we get the at large I think we have what it takes to win a game. 

Edit: Bryant was one of our worst shooting performances of the season, but as far as opponents they weren’t that bad this season. 

So much for the experts - hell yes.  Bring it next week!!
