Much prefer the bracketography 10 seed, hoping we can avoid an 8 or 9 seed like like the plague.
Where does everybody think we'll be seeded if we win out? If we get at-large?

Another 10 seed projection. With a 13.87% shot at the sweet 16. Over the last decade 10 seeds have done MUCH better, with over 30% making the the sweet sixteen. I dare say we are no ordinary 10 seed...

We should be so lucky to get this sportsline 11 seed draw.

Are you sure that 30% of 10 seeds have not made the Sweet 16...That would mean that more than 3 out of 10 2 seeds have not made it to the sweet 16 (More than 3/10 assuming 7 seeds have done some damage). To me, it seems more likely that about 30% of 10 seeds have made the 2nd round.
And, I say we get a 9 seed playing in Philly with Nova or UConn looming if we win out.

I except alot from this team. But I don't think making the sweet 16 is within our grasp at this point. I would actuallly love an 8-9 b/c it gives our greatest opportunity to win at least one game in the tourney.
Remember, we were the FIRST patriot league team to even win a game in the tourney last year. I think repeating that task alone will be extremely difficult.

I am sure that over 30% of ten seed have made it to the sweet sixteen! AT LEAST one 10 seed has made it in the last 9 years.

I would enjoy the 10 but think the 11 seed is most realistic. Even better in my opinion. We are capable of beating a 6 seed and the thoughts of a 2nd round 3 seed is far more appealing than a 1 or a 2.

11 is ideal if you ask me. There is little difference in being a 9, 10, or 11 in the first round because the 6, 7, and 8-seeds are all pretty much the same.
The real difference is potential 2nd round matchup: a sizeable drop-off btwn 1/2-seeds and 3 seeds.

In response to
how 10 seeds have faired in the last 10 tournaments...
advanced to second round (20, 50%)
advanced to sweet sixteen (13, 32%)
advanced to elite eight (3, 8%)
...the scary part of it all is that 10 seeds have won 65% of their second round games.
The Bracket Bustin' Bison are Back!
Okay. First round streak BACK ON! |

good point--you are absolutely right. I still want to win two though. Like the guy said about the mountain "because it's there."

Lunardi's latest Bracketology has us playing Kentucky in Philly with Kentucky looming as the 1 seed. Aside from being near home, that would be a brutal draw. I know KU has had a rough year, but they are heating up, and I would want nothing to do with them in the tourney! No doubt the link in jck's post 2 up would be the ideal 8-9 draw. A winnable first game, an unproven 1 seed, and overrated 2-4 seeds. Wow am I getting ahead of myself!
I agree with 1011. First making the tourney would be great. Then one win would be amazing. The rest would be gravy.

Bucknell wins out: 10 seed
Bucknell loses in PL tournament: Screwed into NIT. Remember: Bucknell's RPI goes down, regardless, during the PL tournament. It plunges with any loss in the PL tourney.

No way. That is too pessimistic. Most people (including the head of the selection committe) have had positive outlooks on BU's at-large shot. I think if we win Fri. and Sun., we are in. Ironically though, if we win the league tourney, I think we play ourselves into 8-9 hell in Philly w\UConn or Nova awaiting should we win. If we get in as an at large after losing the final, I say then it will be a 10-11 seed.
