Which NCAA seed will PSU bball get?

I’ll go with 8 regardless of win or loss…though more likely 9 than 7. Think that’s pretty much our potential range, unless we need to be bumped down from a 9 to a 10 for bracketing purposes.
I know people have been saying this but I am under the impression they have like one bracket if Purdue wins and a different one if PSU wins. It’s not like it’s that difficult to have those two options. It’s only the AAC and Big Ten with games after ~3:00 so even taking into account both, it’s just 4 permutations.

Each permutation is a ton of work…they’ll likely have two with the subtle difference of VCU likely being a bit higher seed than Dayton. And this works against them going all the way to four potential brackets.
I'm just happy we have a non- NIT seeding post!
I’m going by what a committee guy said on tv.
I think they definitely do because Purdue is on the edge for a 1-seed. so if Purdue loses they probably are a 2-seed. right there the brackets change if PSU wins. it would be a very consequential win. I think PSU is a 9 or 10 if they lose and a 7 if they win
It’s funny, all this discussion shows that in the end, regardless of what system they use, it comes down to the perception and opinions of a handful of people.
The seeds do, yes. The list of teams that make the cut is pretty systematic except at the edge
Do you still believe that Illinois will get a higher seed than us? If they do I will have a hard time understanding how they rate higher as we have a better record... far more quad wins... and best of all 3 wins over them. In the end it doesn't really matter as we will be in the tournament but I am interested in your thinking onthis matter.
Jerry Palm has us as a 9-seed vs Auburn, potentially facing Kansas in the 2nd round. who knows what it will really be, but that is a fun possibility
We’re very close to them at this point. We certainly have some things in our favor, and they’ve got others. It goes back to all Q1 wins or Q2 wins not being created equal. Their two wins over teams likely top 6 on the s-curve will carry a lot of weight, especially when paired with no bad losses.
I still disagree mostly…Nevada at 37 is likely headed to the NIT, while Pitt at 67 is likely dancing. The NET is just a guide.
yes i agree but still systematic in some way. Nevada out due to SOS or other factors that are pretty much accepted
i mean things like who is a 1 vs 2, who is a 7 vs 10. that becomes subjective
Lunardi has us at a 10 after 3 wins...we're all accepting the fact we has to win at least 1 game to get in. Right? Or we still playing stupid?
The first team out will likely be someone like Oklahoma St, Nevada, or Vandy…you’re still going to pretend that the odds of getting in with a loss on Thursday would have been “zero”? It would have made for a very stressful day.
I’d think it’s about the best case scenario right now. Better than getting Houston (although the Sasser injury makes it interesting) or Alabama.
Id rather go against the 2 seed 2nd round. Id rather be a 10 seed than an 8/9.
Definitely…I was just saying that if we have to play a 1, Kansas is the team to get
Zero and I'm glad it didn't come to that as this team deserved a shot but they needed a win to go. They got 3. All is good.
Of course, everyone around us also lost (mostly to worse teams). And Lunardi has us lower than most as a 10.
Definitely…they’d be about a 4 point underdog against Houston today (with a healthy Sasser).
Kansas is gettable, just like last year, until they weren’t. Don’t underestimate the Jayhawks.
are you still going to hang your hat on an event that never happened and insist that you were right in that counterfactual which nobody can prove? what is the point?
here's one, the posterior probability of us losing last thursday is zero percent
@Erial_Lion 3 wins and we're a 10--you agree with me now that we needed at least 1 win to have any chance?
Nope...as I've said all along, we would have been a coinflip (we'll know more too when the s-curve is released).
Agree I personally think we were up to a nine but got shifted back as I’ve seen Iowa and Maryland as eights
I like the matchup with A&M...tough team to face, but they've got a very small backcourt. They make a living getting to the line, so that will be a key for us. Will need to throw a lot of bodies at Marble.
We had no chance without a win--absolutely none as a 10 with 3 high profile wins proves. As I said all along--no matter what happened you'd refuse to acknowledge you were wrong. We could have been in a play-in game now and you'd still stand to the false belief we had any chance with a loss on Thursday
