First, that we are not in Purdue's bracket. Second, that we are not in KU's bracket. I would MUCH rather play Houston or Alabama if we made it to the elite 8.Thoughts on how many games we need to win in Kansas City to wrap up a 2 seed?
Assuming we win at least 1 of the final two regular season? 1 game IMO.
I think this is how I think it breaks down (not all scenarios but enough)
Reg season 0-2, KC 0-1: 3 seed
Reg season 1-1, KC 0-1: 3 seed
Reg season 2-0, KC 0-1: 3 seed (maybe 2, probably good enough but I can see us being punished a bit)
Reg season 1-1, KC 1 to 3 wins: 2 seed
Reg season 2-0, KC 1 to 2 wins: 2 seed
Reg season 2-0, KC 3-0: 1 seed (yes, think we would/could)
I think beating OU unofficially officially shuts the door on sliding to a four seed. After that its pretty complex with jockeying for position with UT and BU. I am not sure how Zaga comes into play.
