An 8 seed would be the 2nd best seed ever for UD. OP's 2003 team got a 4 seed. I think that would be a very noteworthy accomplishment in itself.

We were a 10 seed. There were 53 teams in the tournament that year. Teams 44-53 had to play an Opening Round game while the top four teams in each region got a bye.

You are correct, but remember that the NCAA didn't start seeding until 1979. During the 60s and early 70s there were between 22-25 teams in the tournament so, at a minimum, Dayton would have been at least a 6th seed several times.

Maybe he meant that Georgetown is nowhere NEAR capable of competing in the A-10, "and it's not even close"????? Regardless, he sure does look like even more of a jackass than he already is/was/always will be.

Wow, even that article written after the DePaul game is taking a wait and see attitude. They see G'Town as still "on the bubble" but looking in.
Amazing!
But then, they know how powerful the eye test can be.

Never too late to justify Hoyas in field just by looking at a handful of their wins. I don't agree with that per-se, but I can just see it and hear it now, "well, Georgetown had a number of key and high profile victories, and the Big East will always be one of the top conferences in the nation".........blah, blah, blah....then they win three NCAA Tourney games, and naturally then it will all be justified. Meanwhile some other truly worthy school is left with mouth hanging and glazed over-look after being left off the invite list. Freaking Crazy!!!

If G-Town isn't in the BE, no one is giving them a shot. I don't buy the conference doesn't matter argument. GTown SHOULD be in trouble, but the media refuses to let that happen due to conference affiliation.

I don't believe thecommittee will give them a sniff. however, these pundits all work for networks that pay a lot of money for tv rights to some of these conferences. it is in their best interest to continue to prop up the "haves" in college sports because they are the horses with the most money riding on them.

Interesting comment AC91…. I wonder if ESPN is gonna throw the whole New Big Least under the bus, or just ignore them (which almost amounts to the same thing)? If the school down south loses today to Marquette and still gets in, then the “good old boy” system is alive and well. If they don’t get in, then it just may be dead…..

I was thinking about this last night. eSPN ran a bunch of promos for its new 30/30 documentary about the Big east and SC had a segment on that multiOT game between UConn and Syracuse - even had Calhoun on to talk about it. I'm interested in seeing what this documentary focuses on, but all of it sure had a nostalgic feeling rather than a current one.

Georgetown only dropped 2 lines on the DanceCard. But they were the 2 lines that pushed them out of the tournament.

What is Chris Mack thinking now? Simple, his new perspective is based on how good DePaul is, and that in any typical league, unlike the big-time NBE, DePaul would be NIT/NCAA caliber.

Even though I think Georgetown has no chance, and really didn't before they lost last night, they only dropped 3 places on the Dancecard. Again, it's really difficult to drop or gain more than a few spots based upon one game. The Flyers are currently 31 and I don't really see them dropping or gaining more than 4 spots, regardless of what happens this week, unless they beat both St Joes and Slu.

Scary thought on the BE Tourney. With Nova out we really need Creighton to step up and win the thing. Otherwise a Providence or an X can play themselves off the bubble by winning the auto bid. Or even worse, Marquette or Seton Hall could steal the auto bid and Providence or X could still slip in as well.

It's a shame that the lower leagues like the New Big East can steal bids due to their own incompetence.

About that last comment - agreed. X is 3 slots in per Dance Card. Marquette, by contrast, would be @ a 6-seed...in the NIT. Nowhere near the cut line for the NCAA, and a win over X won't change that.

Seton Hall jumped from 150 to 123 in the RPI with their win. Yuck.

They need to lose tomorrow, so X will hold onto 2 sub-100 losses.

No, but it keeps them alive, and if they'd somehow wind-up beating Creighton down the line, that could do it.

And that 6 seed was earned with home and home's with RI and SB while our 5 seed was earned with home and homes with better teams. Yet they are an 8 seed and we are last 4 in. And we are last 4 in with SJ which means according to Retardi our game tomorrow is basically a play in game. Yet X is safely in and other sites have us as high as an 8 seed. While we all know Retardi is the worst out there my fear is that this one time he is right.

Wow - Dance Card is on the money. We are a lock. Look at previous years. This year is a bit of an anomaly. The bubble is very, very clear this year. In previous years, there were clumps of teams between -2 and 2. This year, there are very few like that. No team with a Dance Card rating above 3 has EVER been left out of the tournament. Ours is above 10.
In fact, St Joe's is pretty much a lock, too.
Xavier is nearly a lock now, too. Even if they lose to Marquette, there probably aren't enough teams left to overtake them. Xavier might drop 'closer' to the cut line, but even with a loss they're still going to be above 2 on their Dance Card score. And SMU is dropping, too, so Xavier has a buffer there. Two teams below the cutline would have to pass them, and Tennesee is the only one within easy striking distance. Anyone else would probably need a run to the finals plus maybe a huge win over a top 25 team. So Xavier's only fear is a loss today coupled with true stolen bids: unexpected teams winning the auto-bids. And that would probably have to happen twice before Xavier is knocked out - even if they lose today. I just went from rooting against stolen bids to rooting for stolen bids.

Southern Miss is still alive in Conference USA. They could surprise and get a bid based on the Dance Card. They're #2 past the cutline after Tennessee. A good run in their tournament might get them in if things fall right for them.

No wonder Lunardi's projections are so off. He's using the wrong numbers:
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/nitty
The SOS is wrong for just about everybody. He has one of our road games listed as neutral. (Did we play a semi-away game this year?)

I think the Duquesne game was neutral. We played at the Consol Center, not their gym.

That is considered a home game for the Dukes. They have played several games there and are usually where they play when they have a big home game.

Iowa goes down to 14-18 Northwestern.
SMU goes down to 17-15 Houston.
While both these teams seem to be well off the right side of the bubble, could their ignominious departure from conference tourneys put them back on the bubble?

I know it says that, but it is not correct. I am pretty sure you cannot play a league game at a neutral site. This is no different than Nova playing games at the 76ers arena and their campus arena. I believe UConn does this as well.

SMU is the last team above the cutline at Dance Card. They're "ranked" but look at their numbers. They're pretty comparable to our numbers except they don't have our good wins.

His question was why Lunardi the Great has numbers reflecting a neutral game win that he could not pin down. If it was in their small ****ty gym, maybe we dont win that game? Who the hell knows. Ill take it road or neutral.

Maybe they were thinking that, since Flyer fans almost outnumbered Dukes fans (and were probably louder), it couldn't possibly have been a Duquesne home game?

Iowa is 4-8 in their last 12 games, RPI of 52 (sure to drop after losing to #138 Northwestern). How is that a lock?

For as much as Lunardi disagrees with Dance Card on Dayton (basically #45 according to Lunardi but #31 according to Dance Card), they only disagree on two picks as of this morning.
Tennessee: Lunardi says easily in. Dance Card says first one out.
Providence: Lunardi says last one in. Dance Card says clearly out.
California: Lunardi says first one out. Dance Card says easily in.
Minnesota: Lunardi says second one out. Dance Card says barely in. (So they pretty much agree here.)
On the in/out question, they agree on everybody else. This appears to be a pretty easy year to call the brackets.

If we end up losing to SJU, what would our RPI be? 42 or so? From a pure stats perspective does that still project us well? From a committee standpoint... we would be 23-10 with an RPI of, 42?

I refuse to accept the possibility that we lose to the Hawks three times this year. We are just playing too well. I think we very well may be favorites to win the whole darn thing at this point. If we do, I hope we can be better than an 8 seed, I don't want be faced with a #1 seed in the 2nd round to advance to the Sweet 16. This is the year we make it to the second weekend, feel it in my bones

It's not so much the actual picks, heck anyone can get 65 correct, it's the seeding where Lunardi is generally weak.

BINGO. That's why it really doesn't matter how close to the cut line he has UD... as long as he has them in, he can still say "I correctly predicted the field of 68!" Even if his predictions of seeds are horribly inaccurate.
Dayton will be no worse than a 10, even if they lose today. They are not near the cut line at all.

For whatever its worth, cbssports has moved Saint Joes from "probably in" to off the bubble watch (presumably a lock) while also moving UD from "on the fence" to "probably in".
SMU fell from "Probably in" to "on the fence" while Iowa has fallen from no mention to "probably in" after losing 6 of their last 7.

Out of the 102 brackets listed on Bracket Matrix, we are in 100 of them... 1 of the other 2 just added us this morning, and the other one looks like a geocities page, so I am not taking him seriously.
We are about 7 teams from the cut line.

13 teams for 9 slots? They're just trying play up the bubble for the sake of drama.
They still list Arkansas, who is out and is out of their tournament. No chance.
They list Dayton, Xavier, Stanford and Nebraska, who are all locks.
They list BYU, SJU, and Pittsburgh who are all but locks (barring an unprecedented number of stolen bids or if ALL of the below make deep runs).
That means it's really 5 teams vying for 2 slots:
Florida State
Providence
Minnesota
Tennessee
Missouri

Could be, but there are so few teams that can overtake them that even if they wind up in the First Four they still aren't likely to get bounced entirely (barring a miraculous number of stolen auto-bids).

I wish I was a as confident as those of you that are certain we are in. I really think we need to win today or else we play away in the first round of the NIT even though we are the higher seed.

Dayton's current standing in the Dance Card: 30.
Let's assume that the committee views following additional teams ahead of Dayton (even though they're lower on the Dance Card):
Colorado
Gonzaga
GW
Stanford
Memphis
Kansas State
Arizona State
Nebraska
OK State
That puts 38 teams ahead of us. (And I'm being generous putting all of them ahead of us.)
There are 36 at-large plus 6 BCS plus BE, A10, WCC, MVC, MWC in the mix at the top. That's 47 bids total from potential multi-bid conferences. The other 21 bids are the 1-bid leagues.
How many of those 47 bids could be stolen? Potential true bid-stealers (winning the auto-bid when they aren't even on the bubble):
AAC: Houston
ACC: NC State, Clemson
A10: St Bona, Richmond
Big East: Seton Hall
Big 10: Northwestern
Big 12: none
MWC: UNLV, Boise State
PAC 12: none
SEC: South Carolina, LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia
Worst case: 7 stolen bids
That leaves 40 bids remaining. We would be sitting at slot #39.
Who is still alive in their own tournament that could conceivably pass us?
St Joe
Pittsburgh
Xavier
Tennessee
Minnesota
Southern Miss... can't pass us but could get a bid. Our advantage is too much.
Providence... can't pass us but could steal the auto-bid. Beating Seton Hall isn't enough to pass us on the bubble.
That's it. If they all make deep runs but don't win their tournaments (so a bid can be stolen), we can be left out. In fact, those 5 teams could pass us leaving us at slot #44 when the cutline is after slot #40.
But look at what has to happen for us to be left out. We would have to see 7 of these 12 events - and this is assuming that all 9 of the other teams listed above are actually above us even though they are below us on the Dance Card:
* Stolen bids (7 potential stolen bids... unlikely to see more than 2)
* SJU beats us
* Xavier beats Creighton
* Pittsburgh beats UNC
* Tennessee beats Florida
* Minnesota beats Wisconsin
(Not sure all those teams would pass us anyway even if they do earn those wins.)

99% certain Lunardi will drop us to First 4 Out after the loss, because that's what he does.

Lunardi, along with the refs, can suck it.

I wish I could be as optimistic as some of you, but today's loss scares me.
On that note, refs, a college player getting chucked 5' is a push EVERY TIME.

It's going to be a razor thin if UD gets in. I think the resume is good enough, but as a worrier I am afraid we are one win short. I know all the computer models look good, but they don't actually make the decision.

Lunardi is an idiot and he's not on the committee. The Flyers are in comfortably and were already selected earlier this week imo.

A lot can happen in the next two days. I doubt there is a single soul in Flyer Nation who won't be sweating it out on Sunday.

We'll know before Sunday if we're in. I just did the math above.
Pitt beats UNC.
SJU beats Dayton.
So those 2 happened. But we're totally safe unless at least 5 of these also happen:
* Stolen bids. Only 7 are possible, and 3 of those hinge on Seton Hall, Northwestern, and Houston.
* Xavier beats Creighton
* Tennessee beats Florida
* Minnesota beats Wisconsin
If 5 of those happen then we can start to worry. I don't think 5 of those are going to happen and even if they do I think we're still safe.
