What seed now?

[RUJeffro]

Ok, we’re in....but what seed do you think we’ll be (I know we have the B1G tournament yet to play)?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

I'd rather have 10 than 9.

I'd rather have 10 than 9.

I would rather have the 8 so that the team can wear the white jerseys once.

Don’t care. Just want to avoid play-in

We are nowhere near having to be in the play-in game. We could lose like we did to Louisville in the AAC, and still be a 10 at worst.

 

[The RUT]

I think we’re in the 8/9 game with a chance to climb to the 6 or 7 seed if we have a run in the BTT

 

[zebnatto]

Ten, with room to improve at B1G.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I’ll take a 10 over 8/9 every day of the week:

 

[bac2therac]

as of today, we are still a 9, honestly it will extremely tough to get better than a 8

a first round Big 10 loss will put us as a 10, some brackets may even still have us a 10 today

9: 34%
10: 28%
8: 18%
11: 13%
7: 6%
12: 1%

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

10 please

 

[RU MAN]

Ok, we’re in....but what seed do you think we’ll be (I know we have the B1G tournament yet to play)?

Ten, I hope. We need to stay out of the 8 or 9 seed.

 

[RUinPAC10land]

Don't worry. They won't.

 

[Tango Two]

If we’re away we can wear the nice red throwbacks

Knowing Rutgers they’ll wear the ugly black

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

10

 

[RUSK97]

Why’s that?

 

[Terry_2426]

Why’s that?

People typically want to avoid the 8/9 because a #1 seed is sitting there waiting for you in the 2nd round

 

[brucelaw8]

A run in the BIG will check all of the boxes.Certainly a win vs OSU,Ill.,Iowa, or Mich will give us confidence that we can make a serious tournament run.The top seeds are more or less established ,which may lead to let downs.We need to establish confidence going forward.Let it loose.No pressure now.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Why’s that?

10 plays 7 (which is usually not much different than playing 8 as the 9 seed) - if you win, you play #2 (or 15 if upset in first round) - which is way better than #1 (probably Xavier) in Round 2.

This year any B1G 10th-seed is probably as good as any random 7-seed out there.

edit: also, as a 10th-seed there is actually a better chance to get in a bracket with a B1G as the #1 seed of the bracket. The Committee hates Conference re-matches in round 2. But, not so much in later rounds. Not saying UM, Iowa or Illinois (depending) would be easy... but, we'd know how to play 'em if we did go on a run.

Ahhh...makes sense.
