Love the site! Really like the picks.
Do you think Syracuse stays a #1 seed?
The Cuse remains a #1 seed (#3 overall) and should remain in the Houston region.
Two factors will determine whether the Orange get sent west as either a #1 seed or the highest #2 seed.
1. The severity of Onuaku's injury
2. How Duke and Ohio State fare in their postseason tournaments
So Florida is 21-11 and has 10 wins in conference after they won tonight. Are they in?
I think they are, and that their RPI of 54 is very deceiving. They went out and played tough teams outside of the SEC (FSU, Michigan St., Syracuse, Richmond, NC State, Xavier). They also played Kentucky really tough.
Mark - It's been awhile. Given the # of teams on the bubble who lost today, Florida is near lock status and likely looking at a 10 or 11 seed.
With a young squad, Billy Donovan could have scheduled a bunch of buy games, but he did not, so that should be rewarded.
Btw, great call on UAB a while back. Though, Memphis isn't going dancing either.
Mark G, Memphis actually has a stronger resume than Arizona State.
Did I say Memphis had a weaker resume than Arizona State? They aren't dancing either.
