#1 seed back in play

[saratogashaw]

Just keep winning - Zona, Baylor and Kansas all lose - take care of business today and we are back to #3 in the AP and back in drivers seat for a 1 seed. Gonna be a crazy reminder of the season.

UCLA will pass us up but I agree we might sneak into the last 1 seed on the bracketologists boards.

Lunardi had us as the fourth 1 seed last night.

Never get too high. Never get too low. We will lose again. It's still January.

FTs are a big problem all of a sudden

UCLA and maybe Duke might have the edge over Purdue now after that near choke.

That was the Gene Keady mantra.

Anyway, I would rather have favorable location/match-ups over a high seed. Being the best #2 seed might be better than being the fourth #1. Being the top #3 seed could be better than being the worst #2.

I wonder why that is. I remember for years Kansas would light people up--score 80+ almost every time out--but be very pedestrian from the foul line. Hope our guys aren't headed in that direction.

I agree - playing your best basketball in March is the goal

And Duke struggled with Louisville.

FTs are a big problem all of a sudden

Only for our bigs. they were 7/16, with Tre 1-5.

Edey kept hitting the front of the rim early on, then got in a groove.

I agree - playing your best basketball in April is the goal

I'm seeing 4-seed.

Interesting thing about Alabama is that they've played zero Quad 4 games. Their home game against Missouri is close, but they won't face another the rest of the way.

At least we are shooting some in some tough environments.

They have the same number of Q1 wins combined as Purdue

One of my favorite sites the last couple years now has a resume comparison function.

I just threw 5 teams up there for poops and laughs. Not sure if the link will hold.
