Boost from St. Mary's win over Zags?

I assume that win last night helped us some. Need to win two in NCAAT to get the #5 seed?

Two wins in Nashville or one win + one self-imposed postseason ban by LSU would result in a 5-seed.

One win in SECT and we’re a lock for a 6 seed with a decent shot at a 5. Beat Tennessee, and we should be a lock for a 5 seed.

Pretty remarkable we have a good shot at a 5 seed and our fans were apathetic towards the team the majority of the season.

Whether or not LSU plays will have next to nothing to do with what our seed ends up being. Seeds are awarded individually, not by conference.

Unless we happen to be the highest 6-seed. Take out a team above a 6-seed, and everyone slots up a spot, in theory

I know how the seeds are awarded. They are ahead of us in the “individual standings”...aka the NET Rankings. We are 21st in the current NET. LSU disappearing from the equation moves every team behind them up one spot. That brings us into the Top 20, which is 5-seed territory.

5 seeds play the 1 seed in the sweet 16, sooner than a 6 seed does.

I’d rather be a 6 seed and not play a 1 seed until elite 8.

Minimal, if any, boost. They went from 37 to 34 in the NET. It was a Q1 win for us before last night, and it still is.

Some years I might agree with this, but 1) I feel like the 3 seeds are significantly stronger than the 4s this year. 2) There's a chance playing the 2 instead of the 1 means playing a fully healthy Duke instead of Gonzaga.

Bring on Zion, Barrett, and Co. Aric and Lamar consider themselves NBA talents, give them a chance to prove it. Hell, it's 17 March. Weird things tend to happen this month

I saw a projection today that already had us as a 5 seed. I think we are a 6 seed even if we lose the SECT opener. If we win the opener we might get that 5 seed. If we beat TN, we are definitely a 5 seed and maybe even a 4.

When you look at the landscape of teams all vying for the 4-6 seeds... there are very few teams with resumes that stand out.
