Can MU get a 3 seed?

That and one seed line makes a difference. As a four seed we will likely be headed south or west. I think we need to play closer to home. Also as 4 seed you play a 5 in the second round and as a 3 you play a 6 seed, that can be a big difference in the quality of team depending on who it is... Always better to be a higher seed.

1. Indiana (Dayton)
2. Duke (Lexington)
3. Kansas (Kansas City)
4. Gonzaga (Salt Lake City)
5. Miami (Lexington)
6. Georgetown (Philly)
7. Louisville (Lexington)
8. Florida (Lexington)
9. Michigan (Auburn Hills)

I think these teams are pretty much 3 or higher even if they lose 2 games.

Mich St plays Wis at Home tonight and NW on the Road.
K ST plays OK st, and if they win they will get a 3. If OK St wins they are both a 4.
NM plays at AF so you can hope for a upset but that would seem unlikely.
Ohio St plays at ILL, Ohio State is playing well doubtful
MU at ST John's, We should win but on the road anything can happen.

I think the 3 seeds will come from those 5.

I personally don't think the Conf Tournament is as big as the regular season unless you win the tournament. I say that because we could beat St John and lose the 1st game in the tournament and still end up a 3, but could win the tournament and jump all the way to a 2.

Honestly if you look at MSU and New Mexico's resumes they are pretty much a lock. New Mexico could even be considered for a two. It's that good.

I think MU is jockeying with KSU for the final 3 spot and the last remaining spot in Kansas City. Hopefully MU can win that battle but I think down the stretch we need to do one better than KSU. So if they lose Saturday we just need to match them.

New Mexico will be an interesting case to follow. Does the SC give the Mountain West the respect it would typically give the #1 RPI conference or not? The only impressive win in the non conference for them is UCONN unless you count Davidson(lost to UWM) and USC.

Personally I'm not sold on them as a 2/3 seed but they may very well get it.

My guess is if MU wins Saturday and gets 1 in the BET they will be a 3 or a 4. Either would be fair IMO.If they go to the title game it's hard to see them not being a 3 but anything is possible.

I think we are locked in at a 4 at the lowest, we have 3 seed potential but it will take a mix of us doing well and someone else not doing anything great. For example they have Arizona behind us, but if they win the P12 tournament championship they would likely jump us. Same with KSU, and both of those are possible. That's why we need to make sure we have the best possible tournament we can.

You can lock in MSU as at least a 3 seed after tonight.
