No. 12 seeds: George Washington, SMU, Boise State, Tennessee, Virginia, New Mexico Stat

5 AAC teams in - Louisville as a #4 seed. Cincinnati a #6 seed, Memphis and UConn as #7 seeds. SMU at #12. They mention that we have avoided a bad loss, that is key. That will be huge in the selection committee's eyes if we can avoid any moving forward. I think if we can win one of two against Louisville and Memphis, and handle UH, USF, Temple, Rutgers and UCF, we've got a good shoot.

Oh please, please let this happen. I am starting to get that early 80's football feeling...where I am so wired the night before a game that I can't sleep.(no, not an exageration) As Tony Soprano would say, "I need therapy."

One win at a time, folks. One at a time. Words are wind.

[smusportspage]

Very true.

Exactly. one game at a time - and lets just go ahead and know that there will be at least a disappointment or two along the way.

Lets act like we have been there. Even though we haven't, at least in the lifetime of most of us.

Yeah, I'm teetering on this myself. Go beat Louisville or Memphis once (and lose to UConn and even again to Cincy) and take care of the rest of the schedule and we're in for sure. But it's going to be tough to win them all especially on the road (Temple, USF, UCF, UH, Rutgers none of which are all that great except UH but road wins are tough).

Any road win will be huge. I think the focus needs to believe on making Moody a hard place to visit, both for fan attention and sporting success.

Gonna need more than two quality wins. Need to take care of home court and win 3 of the big 4, then snag one on the road imo. As well as taking care of the bottom-feeders. I don't think SMU wants to sit on the bubble with a selection committee that's not familiar with the team. There's 4/5 of the basketball community that really doesn't know much about SMU's team or that they are good. I guarantee many still think UConn was a fluke and a "bad loss" for UConn. Just speaking from an outsider's perspective.

I guess my point is, don't let the committee decide whether SMU, Minnesota or the Lobos are more deserving of the last 12-seed.
