Buffalo News is predicting a 5 seed with a MAC tournament win and a 7 seed with a loss.

I had a dream last night that UB played Gonzaga in the final four. Unfortunately we lost 151 to 150 in OT. Afterward the announcers were calling it the greatest game in the history of NCAA basketball. By the way, Harris hit a clutch 3 to send the game to OT.
That would put us as a 5 seed. I don’t like 5 seeds given the history of 12 seed upsets. But if we do get a 5 seed the committee will almost surely put us against Arizona St as the 12, assuming they win their play in game.
Often a local sports reporter will get a tip that a local AD is looking at x, then will be curious himself and do a story on him.
I don’t think Maryland will part with their coach as they’re having moderate success. Wasn’t sure who else might be looking in that area. Could be a Virginia school.
Don’t know but historically 9 wins more frequently than 8 against the spread. Without the spread it’s even but still not a good seed.

Definitely don’t want an 8 seed, and 9 is only slightly better. Almost a guarantee of one win and out. Either a 10 seed or a 7 please. Probably don’t have to worry about it but wouldn’t want to be a 5 seed either.
