On ESPN we are a #9 seed in the West playing #8 OK St. Winner gets Gonzaga.

Good to hear. I think we can go 2-1, and then 1-1 in the BE tourney. That would probably keep us at a 9 seed.

We can't play a team we played already in the first 2 rounds.

Yes.  I believe the committee tries to avoid rematches the first weekend, but it's not a hard and fast rule.

Not sure if there is something more up to date...

http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2013-08-01/committee-changes-bracketing-guidelines-division-i-tournament

"This means that teams from the same conference that played only once during the season can now face each other as early as the third round of the championship. Subsequently, teams from the same league that met twice during the year will not potentially play each other until the regional semifinals. Also, teams from the same league that played each other three times during the course of the season cannot play until the regional championship game.

The previous guidelines did not allow more than two teams from a league to be in the same region unless nine or more teams were selected from one conference. This has only occurred twice in the history of the championship (Big East with 11 teams in 2011 and nine in 2012). Under the new principles, each of the top four teams selected from a conference will be placed in separate regions, only if they are seeded on the first four lines. This replaces the principle that separated the top three teams from a league regardless of the teams’ placement within the bracket."

I also believe when that says "third round" it's referring to what pretty much everyone considers the second round....because the "first four" play-in games are now considered the first round IIRC.

Yes, that's what they mean.  Terminology will be changing next year, to (I believe) Opening Round, First Round, and Second Round.

Hopefully we can do a little bit better and movie up. I wouldn't want to face the Zags again in the 2/3 round (depending on how you view the rounds). I know making it to the 2nd round would be a great accomplishment this year, but the Zags always have our number and I would hate to be knocked iut for the 3rd time by them.

I want to be either a 6 or 11. The top 8 teams are really good. If we play a good game  beating a 3 seed wont be an upset.

Agreed. But I was talking as a SJU fan. We lose out and there are problems

Why are you provoking him?   Baldi hasn't said a word about Iona in this thread and the two of you start trolling him.

After being a 9 seed yesterday and Xavier is a 7. Makes zero sense, I can guarantee you this is not accurate. We have a better resume and are 2-0 agains them and they are 3
Spots higher, not a chance.
