If that's true, hopefully we aren't the 5 who gets knocked off by the 12

But the 5s who advance almost always make to regionals...

The opportunity is for a higher seed. That should be our goal after winning the regular season championship. The good news is with this win, it is entirely in our control for our destiny.

screwed in the seeding, maybe, but I agree with LA, no way they do this to us 2 years in a row, Hello Tourney.

I like you but you're the ultimate glass half empty guy.


Just let me know what year you graduated and that would probably explain everything.

I like to be pleasantly surprised.

Ojai,
I'm older than you. We've had this discussion.

I'd be pretty happy with either 5 or 6 seed. Like our chances to beat 11/12 and 3/4 and get to second weekend.

Sorry, I don't remember. I graduated in 89.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Ha! Okay, I'm not older than you. 97 grad. I thought you were 99. I met a lot of alums during my time in LA.

We would have to be a top 20 team in order to get a 5 seed. In order for that to happen, we would need to split the next two and get to the final of the conference tourney. If we win out and get to the semifinals of conference tourney I think we would be top 20 as well.

Part if it will also depend on the number of conference teams that get in. If 3 get in, we could be a 5. But if there are only 2 AAC teams, I don't think they will put us above a 6.

Last year, I was painfully correct in saying after our loss to Houston in the AAC tourney, we would be left out. I really hated that it did happen that way.

I agree, we are definitely in. I will go a step further and say if we win out and win the tourney, we will be a four seed and ranked about 14th in the final AP poll.

Feels good to know for sure that you are in though.

Great job Ponies!
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!
