Need to get a few more wins, to get out of 8-9 range. Getting to a 6 seed would be huge, and to do so I'd think we'd need 4 more wins or so, including conference tourney. Do not want to potentially face a 1 seed in the second round.

I think we are projected to be at a 7 seed as of now.

Wait wait, you mean Louisville (last years national champion), at Memphis and the conference tourney are big games?
Oh.

CBS still has us as a 9 seed. Said it was updated this morning.

We win out, and win the Conference tourney, I would think we have a good shot to be seeded as high as a 3 seed.

there is no telling where the committee will put us but we are a legit top 25 team so no reason we shouldn't be in contention for a 5-6 seed right now. We have to beat Louisville at home and win one game in conf tourney but if we do, anything worse than a 7 seed would be a slap in the face to Larry Brown. And to America itself.

RPI Forecast projects that SMU would be ranked 13th in RPI if we win out and win the conference tourney.
See 28-6 line in the RPI forecast by final record section. This has not been updated for yesterdays games, but I doubt it would change much.

It's amazing what two losses against two terrible teams will do.......
