Win out, then lets talk about seeding.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:30 AM ^
we can continue to talk about seeding all we want while the team focuses on winning every next game.

Are you including the Big 10 tournament in this? If not, there's no way we lose 2 of our last 4 and get a 1 seed. I think we'd likely get pushed down to a 3 at best. If you're talking Big 10 tourney, different story.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:00 PM ^
and we are a 3 seed at worst. Unless every other team in that discussion wins out. Not happening.
With that said, it is not unfathomable to foresee Michigan losing three of the final four regular season games. That would be cause for concern for those of us who bought early tickets to the Auburn Hills games.

We're a completely different team with Morgan healthy. The way he played defense yesterday convinced me that we can beat any team in the country.

Michigan will be a #1 seed.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:11 AM ^
I would give my right nut to be a #1 with New Mexico on the two line.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:12 AM ^
Regardless of seed...
February 25th, 2013 at 1:56 PM ^
Amen. And change that shirt, young man.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:14 AM ^
And I thought I would have to wait until Puerto Rico for that VCU match-up! (No longer in NOLA, living in the great city of Richmond.)
That's a tough draw for the second round.

Nothing like making a grand re-entrance with the ole double post misetiquette (and good Lord, someone call the grammar police on that last bit of word smything!)
February 25th, 2013 at 11:16 AM ^
and one of them, Missouri, is listed on the bubble.
That's got to be an all-time worst for a BCS league.
February 25th, 2013 at 11:20 AM ^
Well, Pac-12 only had two teams last year.

The Buffs got in after winning the conference tourney. Washington won the regular season title but did not receive an at-large bid. Cal was the other team along with CU who got in.

What is the point of these threads? It's all speculation and last time I checked, there are still four games on the regular season schedule and then we have to worry about the Big Ten Tournament. How about this? Worry about those games and not some stupid seed prediction.

We moved up to #4 in the AP poll this week.
February 25th, 2013 at 12:43 PM ^
I'm a little surprised that Gonzaga received a #1 vote. I'm expecting Duke to jump them if they're able to take care of Miami this week.
February 25th, 2013 at 3:26 PM ^
I could see us jumping them if we beat State
February 25th, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
That's a harsh bracket. VCU would be tough for a #8 seed. And Louisville and Florida are the #1 and #3 overall teams in Kenpom and that would be just to get to the FInal Four. Not sure that Florida is as good as kenpom thinks they are but they are still pretty tough and Louisville would be a really nasty team to have as a #4 seed. In theory we could play the #1, #2, #3 and #4 team on kenpom if the favorites held to form and we then had to play Indiana and Gonzaga. Getting no benefit out of the fact that New Mexico is a weak team for a #2 seed.

No bracket in March is a cake-walk... but I'd rather be in the South when it looks like that than the West with Gonzaga, Wisconsin, Ohio, Miami, and Arizona. that's a brutal region.
February 25th, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^
Agree that there are more tough teams in the West. But the actual path and 4 teams that we would have to play is tougher than what Gonzaga faces. If the bracket held to form. We'd play:
#164 Southern
#22 VCU
#3 Louisville/#15 Oklahoma State
#1 Florida
vs
#133 Long Beach
#37 Cincinnatti/#38 Memphis
#6 Wisconsin/#27 St. Louis
#13 Miami/#16 Arizona/#11 Ohio State/#7 Pitt
We'd face the tougher opponent in each round than Gonzaga would. Tougher than Indiana and Duke as well.
