Any chance we climb to a 7 or better seed? Would like to avoid a #1 or #2 seed in game 2. Thoughts?

I would think we would need to run the table in Vegas in order to do that.

Maybe hope for an 11 seed, pick off some poor #6 and then get a #3 in the 2nd round.

Bring on a #1 seed. I actually like our chances better against the high seeds in round 1/2 vs. 3/4, as teams are more likely to give us less respect early.

Well, I like your confidence, but I wouldn't be in a big hurry to play a 1 or a 2. If we were a 12 seed, we'd face a 5 and then a 4; I like that. An 11 seed gives us a 6 and then a 4, and that's doable too. But a 10 gives you a 7 followed by a 2, and a 9 means an 8 then a 1. The first round gets easier, the second round tougher.
But, hey, you play who you play.

It's not as much about who we play as how we play

If UCONN remains a #1 seed, we can match up very well vs UCONN. All other #1 seeds will be a tough out

Lower seeds may have an advantage this year by not playing on the higher seeds homecourt. Wouldn't be surprised if there are more upsets than usual.

Well, before we get too concerned about the 1 or 2 seed we play next weekend, we have a game against a 1 seed this weekend. If we lose, it shouldn't hurt us any in terms of our own seeding. But if we win, who knows how high we can jump - but it sure would be fun to find out!
I've never seen a team start 2 for 16 (or whatever we were) and wind up shooting 48.2% for the game. That was just crazy good!

Lets not get too cocky. Once the tourney starts its not who you play its all about winning. I would rather all the top seeds lose and we play a 16 seed for the national championship. Here is to dreaming

Well, we moved up to #31 in NET rankings and somehow TDSR stayed at #10.

Don't understand how NET system works if UO remains #10?

Don't understand how NET system works if UO remains #10? Bad home loses are penalized more than good wins. It's the fact they haven't lost to anyone lower than us, and we have that loss to Utah at home and they are in the 100's.

Don't understand how NET system works if UO remains #10? In my opinion, it doesn't work. That's my explanation. I'd love from someone to tell me everything that is 'right' about NET rankings that makes it such a big deal. Is Oregon #10...they have 8 losses. The next team closest to them with 8 losses is Arkansas at #20. Oregon is 0-6 against other teams with a top 25 NET ranking. Only 3-2 with teams ranked 26-50, and that somehow comes out to a #10 NET ranking? At least Arkansas at #20 beat UCONN. Is Texas A&M, a 22-1 team, getting a fair NET rank at #12. Yeah, two spots worse than Oregon. I'm ready for someone to convince me that NET is full of positive attributes and is very correct on who the best teams are, but I'm thinking there are better ways to rank teams.
