Committee won't do STJ any favors.  The no-show against Providence gives them ammo to put us wherever.   I'd be estactic winning one game.   Sad but true

Precisely why I have them further down the seedlings, combined with RPI

I think St Johns are locked in the 8/9 spot, maybe play Davidson in an 8/9 matchup.

The real concern is being in that Midwest region which I have a gut feeling may happen. Can't see them placing St Johns in a chance to play 2 teams they've previously played(Duke/Villanova) so it'd narrow it down to either Kentucky OR Wisconsin/Arizona.

I doubt they'd have us set up for a second round matchup with Villanova, but it's still possible they could do so with Duke (although, we've played 'em).  Give me Duke rather than Kentucky, Wisconsin, or Arizona all day! 

I'm certainly looking forward to later this evening.

Agree. One is fine & prefer to at least be competitive in possible second game against one of the big boys.

I mean location wise.  They will be 8/9.  Probably looking at Kentucky round 2.

But you're a hater, even though that all makes sense.

IMO, there are a couple teams that I won't expect to be competitive with.   I'd be surprised, if they were against those particular teams.  But I'd root like heck, in hopes being surprised.

If it means facing UK, Arizona, or Wisconsin, as an 8/9, then "yes."

I'd be fine with facing Arizona.  I know it's crazy but Id rather face Kentucky than Wisconsin.  A talented veteran well coached team we almost have zero chance against.  At least w Kentucky there is a minute near zero chance that the frosh are too cocky or fold under pressure or something.  Wisconsin won't.  And not taking anything from calipari who is an excellent coach, but in terms of x and os and game plan give me bo Ryan every day.  Wisconsin is really the team i want to avoid at all costs.  Probably naive of me.

For the record I will likely pick Kentucky over Wisconsin in a bracket, but I just think our chances against Kentucky are at like 3 pct vs like 1 pct v Wisco based on matchups etc.

Lunardi said, they may drop, at the most, 1 seed, if that at all.  So, anywhere between 8-10.
