[Cartierfor3]

Good thing I bought my tickets to kc weeks ago. 

[steve dave]

so, like, win and we are a 3 lose and we are a 4?

so, like, win and we are a 3 lose and we are a 4?

Win guaranteed 3, good chance at a 2.

Lose close, maybe a 3, at worst a 4.

Lose badly, probably stay a 4, maybe slip to a 5, but doubtful.

[kougar24]

Zero chance we slip to a 5. Come on, _F, I count on your optimism around here!

I personally think (or at least am forcefully hoping) we have a 3 locked up. Win and we're a 2.

[pvegs]

Dear God, a 5? What is wrong with this place today? We're in the Phillips title game.  Let's save all our depression for after we lose to KU.

I pretty much agree with you and I think a 5 is very slim.

But with a blow out loss you never know what the committee is thinking, and if many members use the ridiculous "eye test" criteria, haven't watched much K-State basketball, and this is one of the only games they've seen us play, you never know.

[kso_FAN]

Why the eff is new mexico even in the conversation?

MWC basketball = 

Have you even watched any MWC basketball this year?

I love playing for the Phillips, but I'm slightly jealous of the Mtn in this regard; playing for all the Reese's would be pretty fantastic.

Unless the committee just looks down at the Big 12 as a whole,  I dont think there is any way we get a 5 seed no matter what happens tonight
So I will say 99.5% that we are a top 4 seed and playing in Sprint Center

Right now IMO, we are a 3 seed.   Losing tonight is not going to hurt us.   What will hurt us is if Syracuse and Ohio St keep winning in these tourneys and put their claim in for 3 seeds.   Also N mexico and Fla winning their conf tourney



With a win, could we get a 2 seed?   Yes.  Do i think we will be a gaurenteed 2 seed with a win? No.

Duke, Gtown, Miami and Mich St are  my current 2 seeds.   
Duke is not falling to a 3
Gtown chances of staying a 2 are probably better than them falling to  3
If Miami loses in the ACC semis to NC St, then they most definately could fall to a 3 seed
Mich St can fall to a 3 seed if they lost to Ohio St (but that would meen Osu would be in finals)


So cheer against =
Syracuse
Ohio St
N Mexico
Miami 
Florida

Good stuff, that makes me more confident. Honestly, I really didn't put much real analysis in my post above.

A 3 is so much better than a four

Hi SD!  I agree with your seed assessment. 

[steve dave]

Hi, catzacker. Me too.

[scottwildcat]

Sd is the selection committee going to eff the cats or will they love Americas team?

[kso_FAN]

Hi SD!  I agree with your seed assessment. 

There are many reasons SD is a stud poster stud.

I think they like us ok but don't love us.

For saying things kougar24 said many pages ago? Yes, that is a stud move.

[kougar24]

3: 40%
4: 30%
5: 20%
2: 10%

imo

loss tonight:
3: 84%
4: 16%

win tonight:
3: 51%
2: 49%
