March 11, 201115 yr I think UC still get's a 6 seed, as long as the NCAA tournament committee respects the Big East as much as the media does. If they do then I really can't see UC being any lower than a 6 seed.
March 11, 201115 yr ND may sneak in a grab a #1 seed. If they wing the Big East, I see: Kansas Notre Dame OSU Pitt/Duke as the 1's.
March 11, 201115 yr If they wing the Big East, I see: Kansas Notre Dame OSU Pitt/Duke as the 1's. Yeah I think ND, OSU, and KU as of now get the 1's with the last one being between Pitt and Duke/UNC whichever one wins the ACC. If neither do somehow then Pitt gets it.
March 11, 201115 yr Yeah I think ND, OSU, and KU as of now get the 1's with the last one being between Pitt and Duke/UNC whichever one wins the ACC. If neither do somehow then Pitt gets it. I just don't see UNC getting it even if they win the ACC; on the flipside they are pretty hot right now so if the committee favors that more so than their over all body of work I could see that happening.
March 11, 201115 yr Wonder if Walter will still get on here and crow about how amazing UC and their defense is? Notre Dame put a statement bid down for the 4th #1 tonight. GT, you said it perfectly, just an absolute clinic. Be lucky UK got them when they did. Not a team in the country that would've beaten ND tonight. They flat out put it on UC offensively and defensively. Played a much smarter game at both ends of the court.
March 11, 201115 yr I know others on here will disagree, but I am not sold on Cincinnati. They'll make the tournament, but it's hard for me to put much faith in a team that lacks the offensive firepower to break 70 points against a good team. A 6-7 seed sounds about right to me.
March 11, 201115 yr Don't know of too many teams that could have survived ND offense last night and for that the past several games this team is on a roll, As for U.C. should be 6 seed possibly 5. Wisht the BearCats good luck Sunday evening. JD

They will go as far as their D carries them. I share your concern about their offense.

Wisht the BearCats good luck Sunday evening. JD JD - 5 seed means the committee has them between 17 and 20. If 11 teams from the Big East are getting in I'd guess UC is probably 8th or 9th. Does 8th or 9th get them an overall 17 through 20?
March 11, 201115 yr One bad night makes them less impressive? I'll totally disagree there. Still one of the best defensive teams in the nation, just had a bad night against a VERY good offensive team... A bad defensive night for "one of the best defensive teams in the nation" should end up being a 10-15 point loss. Not a 38 point shellacking.
March 11, 201115 yr I thought the old saying was something like, you can always play defense no matter what, you might have an off night on offense but you can always play defense.

They'll make the tournament, but it's hard for me to put much faith in a team that lacks the offensive firepower to break 70 points against a good team. A 6-7 seed sounds about right to me. You also said UC wouldn't win another game 4 weeks ago and were mysteriously missing as they won 6 of their next 7 ..
