Not that this means much. But GT barely beat DePaul last night in DC. I think a key to making and hopefully advancing in the tourney is if we are healthy.

New Brackets out by Lunardi.  SJU is a 10 seed playing Mr. Polee and SDST. 

Last 2 times Lundardi had SJU as a 10 seed, our record was 500 in conference. .500 in conference, seems to be the bench mark according to Lunardi for us to be securely in.

Apparently doesn't apply to Big 12 or Big Ten teams though.  Iowa a 10 seed despite 6-8 B1G record, Texas a 9 despite 6-8 Big XII record and being 1-9 vs the top 50.  Ok State an 8 seed at 7-8 in the Big XII.  Midwest bias! lol

6/11 game is where we want to be. We would only be a small under dog vs a 3

I would sign up for a Zaga or Duke rematch in the 2nd round...

With Temple and Cinci in Lunardi's last four byes, the AAC is running the risk of having only one team make the dance.  I think Cinci will still make it, but Temple might be on the outside looking in.

I just want to get in.  I don't care where we are seeded and who we play.  Win the next 3 in a row and I'll start talking about that.

Do they still have the rule of no regular season rematches in first 2 rounds?

Yes, and teams not in tourney sweet sixteen over 14 or more years get easier matchups in first two/three rounds

You are that down on Duke and Gonzaga of the 1/2 seeds?

I'd sign up for a UVA, Arizona, or Kansas matchup way before I'd sign up for Duke or Gonzaga...

Maryland beats Wisconsin.  Does this end the debate for the 4th one seed? (assuming Gonzaga wins out)

If Nova wins out, .I think they have a great case to be a 1 over Gonzaga.

The Seton Hall loss might prevent that the way things are going.  I think Nova is a better team, but Zaga's only loss was @Arizona.  That being said, we're their second best win, so, it's certainly possible.

There's a shot we are a 9 seed on Lunardi's Thursday update.  9 seeds Texas and Texas A&M both lost tonight.

Texas being considered in right now is a joke.  1 top 50 win, at home against WVU.  Next best win is neutral court vs Iowa.  Best road win is Uconn/TCU depending on what rankings you're going by.  They have 17 wins.  12 are against 101+.  The only thing they've done is avoided a bad loss.

Texas has been playing like crap. I don't care if they're in the best conference, if a team doesn't distinguish itself in its conference through a .500 or better record, it better have some real meat on their signature wins. Otherwise, I believe those 23-24 win teams in lesser conferences get a crack at it.
