I don't expect it to happen, but if our guys win out and are both regular season and AAC Tourney Champs, I would certainly hope that would warrant a 4 seed

My guess is our RPI would justify the number 4 - 3 seed or the number 1 - 4 seed, and we get screwed by four spots, so a small chance at a four seed, but a solid five.

Our winning the next five games is probably around a 30% chance.

Yes, we definitely would be worthy...still they will find a way to screw us, they always do.

They have all kinds of books, charts and graphs to screw us--and give it to a 10 loss team from a "real conference" so they can keep all the credits for themselves. When SMU got left out 4 years ago you guys should understand that the money conferences got together to screw SMU out of the Tourney and put their leftovers in since we were unrepresented.

I'm actually expecting us to lose another game and end up in the 7/10 or even the 8/9 game. Win out and I think we get either a 5/12 against the strongest 12 seed or a 6/11 against one of the last at-large teams to get in from a P5. Regardless of what happens, tourney is about match ups and I'd like to think we are going to be a tough match up for anyone we play...as long as we are hitting threes

If we win out, including the conference tourney, we will get a 4 seed. Maybe a 5 but combined with other losses we will be ranked around 10 by that point.

Otherwise, I think we are a 6/7 seed.

It would be nice to get a play-in winner since they would be a bit more run down in theory.

That would be a fun bracket for a nice run with the top four seeds being traditional powerhouses Kansas, Kentucky, Arizona, and Duke!

up to a 6; would play URI/Marquette winner in Tulsa. If we win, we'd play Baylor (or Bucknell).
