Haha! It feels GREAT just to be making this thread.
I feel like we're a lock for a 13-seed (one of the Top 2 13s on the S-curve, I'd guess). Any chance of a 12? Almost certainly not, and I'm not sure I even want to see our odds helped by Champ Week surprises -- I really want to see the Ivy get that second bid.

A 13 feels most likely, but I could also see us with a 14 (the better to justify leaving Harvard out). I don't really care that much about seeding. I'd like to get a good stylistic matchup.
We're two down and six to go as far as sudden-death games on the way to the prize go. You're going to play somebody good along the way in any case and isn't that the whole point of going to the tourney?

I just hope we don't get matched up with Georgetown.

After Donahue against Dunphy last year, they couldn't possibly do something like that to the league again. Could they?

Seeding & Selection Sunday

I have to admit that I've secretly been pondering this for a couple weeks now. I'm not so sure it would be a horrible matchup for us either. Their PG, Chris Wright, is coming off a broken hand and Austin Freeman, while a superb college player, isn't super-athletic. Bray and even Mav might be able to stay in front of him often enough to give us a good chance.

Putting us up against G-Town would be a dirty trick and a slap in the face -- almost as bad as (if it were possible) having Harvard get a play-in against us in the first round. Let's get a shot at someone far, far away in a conference that we don't usually play.

In consolation for the match-up, it would probably mean being bumped up to a 12 seed though... it doesn't look like Gtown will be any higher than a 5. At least there's some honor in that.
