i've said it since the beginning of feb, but this team has 3 seed written all over it. winning out and going 1-1 in the BET should lock that in

The good news is that a lot of teams are having awful years on the road. That said it will help if we win out to get ourselves to 5-6 on the road.

Question for you Alex - don't know why I am drawing a blank, but when looking at the Elite wins (Top 25), great wins (26-50) and Good wins (51-100), what number is used, RPI, correct?

Yes, it is the RPI.

I think a lot depends on how things shake out. The NCAA does not like having teams from the same league play each other until at least the regional final (Marquette against Syracuse a couple of years ago was an exception because the Big East sent 11 schools to the dance). Therefore, you'll often see the NCAA give out the same seed to multiple teams from the same conference.

Personally, I am hoping MU gets Auburn Hills, MI for the first weekend but with both Michigan and Michigan State probably being two seeds the odds are currently against us playing there....based on today's records.

Michigan might be throwing away the right to play at Auburn Hills.

I will be attending the tournament games so long as they keep us close. I'd go to Auburn Hills, Dayton, KC, or Lexington. The others are a bit too far.
