Pretty unlikely. They beat UConn, UK, and Tennessee in the non-conference* Archived Message

Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message but we’ll need to go 2-0 this week to have any chance. When looking at the very top seed limes, I’m wondering how much our lack of high end Q1 wins will work against us. We have 5 Q1 wins, but they are against teams projected as the following: - 5 seed (soon to be 6 or 7) - 8 seed - 9 seed - 10 seed - not in tournament Feels like we’d need 0-2 weeks from Duke and Alabama to create a path to a 3 seed, Creighton and Baylor might be too entrenched in their spots now especially with Creighton only having 1 game left (and it’s a Quad 1 opponent so it won’t hurt them if they lose). Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Latest Matrix has us as the 2nd 4 seed, with a pretty big gap to Creighton for the best 4 seed and us clustered tight with the other 4 seeds behind us. http://www.bracketmatrix.com/ Teams to root for in bold: Duke at NCSU Texas at Baylor These are a heck of a lot easier when you don’t have to leave the top 25.
