KU’s Seeding: Teams to Watch

posted by Jeremy Chrysler on 3/9/2006 -

Chalmersfan’s comment earlier got me thinking about KU’s seed. I’ve heard no definitive answer regarding whether or not KU can end up in Dallas (or Dayton), because I get wrapped up in the legal mumbo jumbo of the NCAA’s guidelines.

But it occurred to me that there are a number of teams in competition with KU for seeds, and I thought I’d look into them. Feel free to add/subtract or modify in the comments. Or if you’re clever, guess my password (I don’t even know it anymore) and change my words.

Without further ado (the more stars, the better the chance, see):

UCLA** - probably better seed than KU

Pitt*** - could drop to below KU if they lose ~~tonight to WVU~~ badly today.

UF**** - after losing 3/4, teetering on the edge. They played well against UK last week though.

Tenn* - Could be a 2-4 seed, I think, depending on the outcome of the SEC tournament.

Boston College** - Lunardi has them as a 5. They don’t deserve their ranking.

GW*** - they could plummet to a 5 or 6 after flaming out today v. Temple.

WVU**** - my gut ~~tells me they’ll get a 4~~ is a foolish sack of tissue, ~~but~~ they’ve been slumping, a lot.

Iowa*** - Lunardi has them as a 4. Don’t understand this.

Illinois* - Not very likely at all, but Illinois is not playing great basketball right now.

Gonzaga* - pretty unlikely, but they’re not improving, and their recent play shows it.

Washington**** - ~~Washington’s climbing, they’ll need to get upset by somebody in the Pac10 Tourney~~ Thanks to PB reader Josh for letting us know that Washington got Carmelo-ized byt Malik Hairston and the Ducks.

UNC* - Very unlikely at this point. UNC is playing top 10 ball over the last 5 games.

Memphis* - If they get blown out early in the CUSA tournament, they could fall, but KU would need to win B12 tournament.

The bottom line is that KU has and outside chance for a 3 seed. I think they’re a 5 if they win one game, a 4 if they win 2, and a 3 if they win 3. Best case - Memphis loses early and big, KU wins B12 tournament, and KU slides into a 3 seed in Dallas.

Most likely scenario: KU wins on Friday and Saturday and gets the lowest 4, and plays in Salt Lake City and uses run-on sentences in their post game interview and doesn’t care.

As much as I’d like KU to be a 3 seed, I think strength of schedule / RPI is going to keep that from happening. Although we’ve been hot in the Big12, the committee is probably going to look at our quality wins against ranked teams… not many. Iowa has a ton of those, but they also have several really bad losses.

Barring an LSU loss in the SEC quarterfinals, and assuming Tyrus Thomas would be healthy enough to play in the second round of the tourney, there aren’t any potential 4/5 seeds that should scare Kansas fans.

IF we can beat Texas in the conference tourney and earn a 3-seed, all the better. Especially if we draw Gonzaga as the 2-seed.

Oregon beat Washington last night. I think the final score was 84-73.

I’ve got Kansas at a #1 seed now. My system weights recent games more heavily - and while I like Kansas just fine (oh, thanks for the coach, by the way), it’s all math and I haven’t favored the Jayhawks in the system.

Tennessee lost 79-71 to South Carolina… they are now 21-7. I think that a KU win tonight would be a leapfrog ahead of them. Other games of interest in terms of seeding:

Minnesota vs. Iowa, 5:40- Game will probably be in the 40’s or 50’s. Minnesota has a chance though.

Vanderbilt vs. LSU, 6:30- LSU will probably win.

Pittsburgh vs. Villanova, 8:00- Pittsburgh will probably lose by less than 10 points, and the committee will qualify it as a good loss. Hopefully Nova will roll them.

Arizona vs. UCLA, 8:20- Probably a UCLA victory.

BC vs. Maryland, 8:30- Maryland is very soft- so a BC loss here and a KU win would give KU the edge.

Arkansas vs. Florida 8:45- I’m thinking the Hogs win this one.
