Did this win bump us to an 8/9 game?

I think no worse than 9 but its close, I could see a scenario where we get bumped to 10.

The issue is where they put the A10 champ or Loyola or MWC winner or Wichita State...those 4 autobids can bump seeding around with the at large schools

What is great is that UCLA and Louisville and Michigan State all lost today ensuring that RU will be better seeded than all of them

Big Ten Network was saying that we were projected to be an 11. That may have happened if we lost. Bottom line: the conference tournament would have to be canceled for us to remain at 10.

I wish everyone would stop whining about "the dreaded 8/9 matchup." Put us in the tournament and give us someone to play. "Yeah Colbert17 but if we win then we have to play a #1 seed!"
So what!!! We already beat Illinois, played tough against tOSU and Michigan and had Baylor on our original schedule. If we're good we' ll have to play them anyway so let's go!

Feeling like we are a 8 right now and we stay there with any loss under 10....

Tomorrow is a huge opportunity to beat a NCAA 1 seed

Getting 2 wins at the top of our resume against 1 seed Illinois ....gets us to a 7 seed for sure even with a loss in the semis ...and maybe even a 6 with a great showing against a NCAA 2 seed Iowa

That's exactly what I said in my thread. Would love to get the win tomorrow and move to the 7 line (or maybe the 6) to avoid playing #1 in the 2nd round...if we win our first game.

We're going to have to at least beat Illinois to even sniff a 6 seed. Probably would need to win another one after that to even be in the conversation.

I think a win vs Illinois and some debate could be made for a 7 vs 8 seed. But likely need 2 more wins to get some good movement on the seeding

Disagree. A win over the Illinois would move us up to the 7 line; the 6 line if other games go our way.

Could certainly be the case. Hard to say as some had us projected as low as 11 seeds coming into tonight, however most had 9-10.

bingo.....we are the freaking tournament for the first time in 30 years...if we are fortunate to win the first round, I would love RU getting a crack at a one seed with everyone paying attention, that is what it is all about.

He's horrible. There's no way we were an 11 before tonight. 9 at worst. We're now a solid 8 and a win against the Illini absolutely gets us to 7, IMO.

no we are a 9 now, and could see us at 10 with a loss

very tough seed lines with 7s clearly above us and we are being passed by UConn, I also think if SDState wins the MWC they will be 8 seed over us. Colorado had a great net and will likely be ahead of us

agree we are in a 8/9 game, likely as a 9--just don't want an overachieving mid-major like Loyola-Chicago in round 1...I tend to see RU-UConn in Round 1, winner to play Baylor.

I think last year some had us pegged for 8/9 as well, before the Big 10 tourney, wiht Baylor as 1...

It would be weird to play any former Big East teams in the tourney.

Rutgers was a 9 entering. Impossible to move to a 7 without at a minimum 2 more wins.

Would rather play Loyola then UConn. Too many side stories: Pike's background, Hurley from NJ (and a good coach), former BE teams, etc.

On your bracket, we should have at least moved ahead of MSU to the first 9 seed and there are other folks who have us as an 8, so it's not a given that we're a 9 right now. Plus two 7's lost in OK and VT. I'd say we're a 9 if we lose to a one seed tomorrow and a 7 if we beat them. We'll see.

I do not have a good read on where the committee will place Loyola. sometimes the committee likes to place conference champs higher than they should be...would I be surprised to see Loyola in a 7 playing St Bonnies in a 10...no
