In hopes of getting some discussions going about the tournament on here, even though it won't involve La Salle.
Leaving this up, if it gets used, fine. If not, fine.
First questions: Who does everyone see as the number 1 seeds?

All the potential number one seeds pooped their pants in the last week, minus Witchita.

Def Florida and Wichita, though I don't know that wichitas SOS deserves it, you can't keep them out with the other teams playing poorly lately. Louisville and Arizona as well. I think Florida is the strongest #1 and every other team is highly beatable in the round of 32.
Vasalos?

Lunardi says no way Louisville gets a number 1, for what it's worth.

I'm not really interested in the #1 seeds but I am interested in the A-10 seedings. I kind of get the feeling that if the A-10 does end up with 6 teams that all of the teams will end up with a lower (worse) seeding than they think they should be getting. I can also see Dayton being left out. I don't think there is anyway the NCAA will take the potential backlash of allowing Dayton to play a home NCAA tournament game.

Wichita State, Florida, UVA and either Louisville or Arizona. I'm learning toward Louisville as the last 1 seed.

OK, anyone want to make any guesses on the A-10 teams seeds?

VCU 6 SLU6 GW 8 Joes 9 Mass 9 Dayton NIT
I really think UMass has fallen hard.

SLU 6 VCU 7 UMass 8 SJU 10 GW 10
SJU will drop a line for geography purposes only I think. They were likely on the bubble and possibly out if Galloway doesn't get away with pushing off against Dayton, hard to imagine they go from last 4 in to a top half of a bracket.

South Region: VCU is a 5 seed v. Stephen F. Austin, who is 31-2
Dayton is an 11 seed, playing Ohio State.
...Dayton not even a play-in.

A 10 is gonna get 6

Dayton-0SU will be interesting. That's six bids for the A10.

Wow Dayton not only in with an 11 but gets Ohio State and a drivable game in buffalo.

Seems like 6 teams is a lock now.

Seems like 6 teams is a lock now. Yeah it is. Unless you think UMass or GW won't get in, and they've been considered a lock just about everywhere. 6 teams. Great for the league.

West Region:
No A-10 teams.

Man it would be great if they didn't put St. Joe's in even after they won the tournament. lol

The Committee apparently made no effort to split up conferences across all regions this year.

Post by theneumann64 on Mar 16, 2014 17:18:33 GMT -5
Yeah the Pac 12 already had like 5 teams, and the A-10 could end up with 2 each in 3 of the Regions, and none in the West.

Quick side note: this was a lot more nerve-wracking last year. For some reason.

With Dayton, BYU, and Nebraska already in, its getting interesting to see who are the play-in teams. Might be an unexpected selection

Seems that despite his transfer, Aaric Murray will also get to experience getting eliminated by the Shockers.

Ridiculous seeding for Louisville.

Midwest Region:
St. Louis is a 5 seed playing the winner of an at-large play-in between NC State and Xavier. Awesome, both teams that were the subject of "We're better than the A-10" nonsense in the last 24 hours (although to be fair it wasn't NC State themselves doing the talking). Hopefully SLU slaps whoever wins silly. Also, should be an interesting reception for Xavier in Dayton on Wednesday.
UMass is a 6 seed- playing another play-in game winner- Tennessee v. Iowa.
So far, two 5 seeds, a 6 seed, and 11. Oddly both at large play in games, and 3 overall, in that bracket.
Also, Aaric's Texas Southern team is in a play-in game for the right to play Wichita State.

It's going to be tough for St. Louis to make it to the 2nd weekend

So, here we go on that last number 1 in the East region. Villanova still hasn't been called.

West Region: No A-10 teams. Can't believe they seemingly made little effort to split conferences up by regions.
