Southern Methodist [22-6 (11-4), RPI: 37, SOS: 152] The Mustangs leapt to a No. 7 seed in Joe Lunardi's Monday Bracketology update. With all due respect to the Bracketsfather, that seems a tad bit high. But that's not really the point. The point is, SMU desperately needed a quality win away from its own building, some way to prove to the committee that it possessed one of the key traits necessary for tourney inclusion in recent years. Sunday's win at UConn did as much, and the corresponding jump in the projected bracket shows just how important it was.
I thought the 7 seemed about right. They have a perception against them for not being ranked the entire year, people are still coming around to seeing SMU in the top 25. I think when the body of work is looked at unbiasedly, a 7 seed is pretty fair.
That's where I'm thinking too (7-9), with ability to get to 5-6 if they win conference tourney. OBF - where do you have tourney tix?

I have good seats/lower bowl at the following: SA, Buffalo, Raleigh, St. Louis, Spokane. None at Orlando, Milwaukee, or San Diego in the lower bowl. My Raleigh tickets are nasty, got a ton on the 3 point line about 3 rows off the floor as well as a bunch of half-court club seats. Buffalo inventory and Spokane are solid as well. St. Louis are good seats/lowers but not on the sideline really. I have some for the Memphis site on half-court which is a regional game and then some on the 3 point line in the uppers for the Final Four. I think the other 3 are going to be dud sites so I didn't buy much there. I can point you to where to buy the other three sites if you want them but you'd have to buy before Selection Sunday, brokers will eat those up when they announce the drawing if good teams end up at those three sites.
Hey OBF - a crew of mine may be interested in buying tickets from you for some of those destinations. I'll try to get a concrete number of people. We can chat offline/PM.

I'd be interested as well. Thanks. I'm in NC/SC - hoping for Raleigh!

Okay, the Raleigh's may be a bit pricey but they're unbelievable seats just fyi. Hit me up if you have questions though, I can also tell you where to find some if you just want in the building too.

Yeah, np, just PM me when we get closer. I'll have to ship them overnight or 2-day so it will have to happen pretty much immediately after the selection show we will have to get on it if they do end up at Raleigh.

Fact, and if you do don't stop at the lights or stop signs

I think we're a solid 9 unless something major happens (like a major upset one way or the other - like us beating UL, losing to UCF, or winning the AAC tourney or getting bounced in our first round of AAC tourney)/
