Kevin Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 CBS has it nailed. UB should and will be a 5 seed. There is just as much argument for a 4 as there is a 6, a 5 will even it out IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 What are your guys thoughts on possibly being a 6 seed having to play the winner of a play in game (an 11 seed underachieving P5 school possibly)?? In recent years there’s been a play in winner who has won a game or two. Or is it better to play them bc they would have already played and hopefully would be a bit fatigued. Thoughts?

UB85 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Lunardi is simply predicting what the committee will do. While past performance is no guarantee of future performance the committee typically screws mid majors. I’d be thrilled with a 4th or 5th seed, but 6 or 7 much more likely given the idiots in a room past performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottier25 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'm gonna assume we win our first game but I'd prefer not being a 7 cause that likely puts us against a 2 just to get to the Sweet 16. A 5 would be nice I think cause the odds of beating a 4 would seem to be best case scenario. But again, these seeds almost never hold true.

mikescherrer8 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I would rather be a 6 seed and avoid a 1 seed as long as possible, but that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

121Merrimac Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in '85, the MAC representatives have been ranked... 15th twice. 14th 8 times. 13th and 12th each 9 times. 11th 5 time. 10th and 9th each 3 times. The only better seeding have been one 8th (Miami '84) and one 5th (Toledo '79). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBigbobby Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Not sure where to put this, but was getting angry thinking Bonas could sneak into the tournament and give the A10 two bids. Let's play a game. Which of these two conference by NET rankings below is the A10 and which is the MAC? 33 69 75 103 118 137 153 170 171 194 214 224 243 283 AVG:156 Median 162 15 62 113 114 117 131 138 139 146 158 175 276 AVG: 132 Median: 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not looking like it will be Bona at this point, with 1 minute left. The MAC has been a solid conference all year. Those numbers above don't lie. Only 1 MAC team in the bottom half of D-1 versus 5 in the A-10. No nights off, especially on the road, even though UB got ridiculed by many on here for losing twice in league play.

UB85 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I am no fan of the foul mouthed Bonnies’ hoodlums but I was rooting for the team. We want to build and are building a great college basketball culture in WNY. Getting two teams in the Big Dance would have only furthered that growth. And as far as those foul mouthed hoodlums are concerned, I have a lot of friends who went to Bona and are Bonnie’s fans and to a person they were appalled by the conduct of their fans in Olean. One told me he even wrote the president encouraging the administration to rein in the ugliness. Edited March 17, 2019 by UB85 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
