How big could it swing if we win the BET versus losing to Butler? A lot of external influences are still to be played out, but could we be anywhere from a 10 to a 6?
Thoughts?
Lose to butler- 10/9
Lose in the semis- 8/7
Lose in the finals- 7/6
Win the tourney- 6
Results 1 to 10 of 98

I agree, although I don't see us getting a 9 if we los to Butler and finish 19-13. 10 is most likely or maybe even an 11. I agree with the rest of those seedings though assuming we play the teams that are expected to win in later rounds.

Best seed/worst seed
Last night on channel 12 there was a suggestion that we might want to throw the Butler game to avoid the 8/9 seed.

Regardless of what happens, we will be no higher than a 7, and no lower than a 11. Analysis complete.

Agreed. I don't think you see major seed movement because of tourney results.

I can see XU getting as high as a 6 seed with wins over Butler and Georgetown and a loss in the finals to Villanova.
I care more about match ups than seeding. I would love for XU to be paired with OSU in the first round in the 7/10 game with a shot to play Gonzaga.

i think if we win the whole thing, beating Butler, Georgetown and Nova in the process, I could see us jump to a 6...other than happening, I don't think one or two wins moves us all that much...it would be nice to avoid the 8/9 but if it happens, it happens.

I never want either the 8 or 9 seed. Historically (I think), we have our most damage in the tourney out of the 3/6/11 seed spot. And I would rather be an 11 than a 7 frankly. Avoiding the 1 or 2 seeds until the second weekend is what you want to have happen IMHO.

Lose to Butler-10/11
Lose in Semi-8/9
Lose in Finals 7/8
Win 6/7 (six if we beat three ranked teams in doing so)
