If they are close enough to the school they certainly can be hostile - last year in Louisville it didn't impact us since they were in the other session - but the Kentucky fans completely dominated that city for the weekend. Kentucky fans are an extreme, but it's possible. Regardless, I would rather not be out West vs a Pac team if we had a choice (which we obviously don't).

Me likey. Easy drive for most SMU fans and then Baylor

The revenge of Gu...

I do not pay much attention to these since they are all over the board, but this one would be great.

Yeah Vigina Tech then Baylor would be a good draw for sure - then the Florida/Creighton winner? Not a bad opportunity for a 7 seed which I am starting to think is pretty much our destiny at this point.

6 seed vs. Kansas State; would play FSU in next round

per CBS Tournament Forecaster:

68-60 Win vs. Kansas State (68% win probability)
71-70 Loss vs. FSU (49% win probability)

If SMU wins rest of games, and loses in finals to Cincy, they are a 5 seed; They win the tourney, they will be a 4. Have to lose 1 of last 3, or a tourney game to non UH or Cincy to drop to 7.

No AAC members on the committee; we are a 5 seed even if we win out.

Fraschilla says we should be a 4 seed if we win out.... including conference tourney.

Should be and will be are two totally different things. Remember Cinci did not make the top 16 teams while being #11 and good wins

We'd be lucky to get a 5 seed based on the way the NCAA will look at it. Not really NCAA bashing its just our resume does not have the bells and whistles they are going to use against us. After all-We are one of the few Top 25 teams to be kept out of the Tournament-and if we hadn't won 19 out of 20 we'd probably be on the Bubble again

Sure, that would be great but doubt it happens.

I will be shocked if we are higher than a 6 even if we win out including the conference tournament. I hope to be proven wrong of course.
