The bracket have completely shifted with us probably jumping to a projected 8 seed.
What is the highest seed have ever had?

Since the seeding of teams began in 1978 the highest tournament seeding USU has received is #10, which was achieved in 1979, 1983 and 1988. We lost to the #11 seed in every instance by, respectively, 19, 5, and 3 points.

CBS gave USU a 10 and Nevada a 5, only one I seen updated.

Lots of tweets from CBB analysts and reporters saying this locked up spot for USU. I think all Aggie fans won’t breath easy. Control what we can and that’s winning next team on schedule

They cannot go and screw the pooch at CSU.

Well if we are a 10 seed, we will lose to the #11 seed by 2.71 this time.

The football game @CSU just came to mind and now I’m scared

I just seen on CBS that there was a problem after the game. Apparently some students taunted and touched Nevada players and That security for the Nevada team was non-existent and they had to go up USU tunnel. I don’t know any details, but this could be problematic.

There were no issues on the court, students did not touch Nevada players, and security was well coordinated...now...what happened up the tunnel is another issue.

I just know several players had to hold Caroline back, he was livid.

Guys this thread is about seeding not the other stuff.
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=48873 this thread is about that stuff

If we lose to CSU and lose our first tourney game I would be real worried.

Don’t think that happens but I’m not comfortable yet

I agree that we need to continue winning.

I think it'll be locked up if we finish Colorado State next Saturday and win our first conference tourney game. A loss to Colorado State means we probably at least need to get to Final game.

Is that the next number in the geometric sequence? Is there some kind of limit to how close the Aggies could come to beating the #11 seed?

I'm a little confused here, wouldn't we play the #7 seed if we're a #10 seed?

Bubble watch
Louisville, Temple, St. John's, Arizona State, Maryland might enter the bubble if they lose today.
Seed watch - Washington, Maryland, St. John's
CBS has us as a #9 seed.
NET has us the #30 team.
SB nation has us as a #10 seed.
St. John's is about to lose.

St. John's next game (their last regular season game) is against Xavier in Xavier's home court. I would guess that St. John's this one too.
Ohio State is without their top player which is something to keep an eye on.

Nothing is a lock until they call our name. I thing we will need to beat CSU, and make it to the MWC championship game to be a lock.

The tourney will take care of itself as long as we take care of our own business. This team is playing well and can't afford a hiccup.

Lunardi has moved us up to 11 vs. Villanova. Next up would be Kansas. He had us at 12 and I didn't expect to move up too much more. There just weren't enough "bad losses" in the right spots.

I predict we are an 8 maybe 7 seed when all is said & done.

Or if we poop the bed playin game.

I'll be shocked if we're anything lower than an 11. Based on past experience, I'll believe it when I see it when we're predicted with these higher seeds.

Actually it’s the 9 seed in Salt Lake vs Syracuse, winner playing Gonzaga in round 3. Even though playing a 1 seed in the third round wouldn’t be ideal, I would love to play in Salt Lake.

I love this bracket projected by "The Big Lead." It has us as an 11 seed in Tulsa, OK playing 6 seed Wofford. I am not saying they are not very good, as they have had a huge year, but Wofford comes from a mid major conference and is not as intimidating as most teams seeded 1 - 8 or so. Then, it has us playing Purdue, who would be the 3 seed, but still has 9 losses (assuming they win).

Given the lsses sustained by some of the teams ahead of us we’ll be a solid 11 seed in most bracket predictions. If we can get to 27 wins (beat CSU plus 2 MWC tourney wins) I feel that we’re a lock. With 26 wins (beat CSU plus 1 MWC tourney win) I think it’s 50/50.

Indiana, Arizona St., UNC-Greensboro and UCF really strengthened their hands this week as did the Aggies. Here are this week’s results of our competitors’s games.

Yep, CSU win is crucial.
