Take whatever seed they’re predicting for us and add 1. I think we’ll be a 6 seed with a “favorable” first round matchup.

They asked Dave Rose if he ever got a better seed than expected. He said, “NO”

I’d be okay with a 6

“They” are not largely predicting a 5, even though Lunardi is. He’s higher.

Plus it’s tough to learn that Dave Rose doesn’t remember the 2014 team that was gifted a 10 seed (12 was expected)

Kenpom has them at 24. I think they’ll be 6 seed for that reason.

I think 6 would be a solid seed. Not a downgrade. Looking at the whole season,

so expect a 7 seed then?

Yes. A 6 is what we were predicted so it was amazing we got it

Look at Bracket Matrix, we are a projected 6 seed

Yeah, I heard that yesterday. He didn't outright say it but it was implied that

With that said, I kinda like that BYU gets under seeded

2013(?) we were nervous if we'd even make it and got a 10

This is what immediately came to mind for me as well

Was that the year we were the very last team announced?

I feel like we got a pretty decent seed most times in the last five years

Decent seed doesn’t necessarily mean expected seed. Six seems reasonable.

I think we deserve a five but we’re gunna get a six

Dave also never had a team in the Big 12

Prime MW years were pretty dang good in basketball.

But still the MWC

The B12 wasn’t what it was back then either. It was ACC and Big East. Kansas was

I don’t think there’s much chance at all that we get better than a 7.

He must not remember 2014 because none of us expected that 10 seed.

Hence why we should brace for a 7

Can’t wait for an algorithm to determine seeding …
