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.

Today’s matrix has moved Creighton to a 3 and brought Alabama much closer to us.

With neither game going our way tonight, I’m more convinced that we may be capped at a 4 seed

I think we can jump Alabama. Out of the 3 seeds, if we go 2-0 this week and Kansas loses to Houston

well, first 4 seed gets TN, AZ instead of UCOnn, Houston. And maybe no Spokane.

Probably not for tOSU. If Iowa beats us, that would be 5 wins in their last 6, including...

Other big difference is our NET ranking was pretty safe in the high 30s

Pretty unlikely, I think, unless our metrics crash.

Huh? Michigan State could be the 7. That would be Q1 on a neutral court.

Yes, Michigan State could--but they are behind Minnesota right now

Doubt it. Kenpom has us as a 4 pt favorite vs iowa vs a 1 pt dog against Purdue.
