NCAA tourney preview....
- Thread starter *4purdue*
- Start date
I had heard they were going to be doing that but I thought it wasn't until next season. I agree, it will give us something else to discuss!! With the games we have between now and the 11th, we are in a position to be in that top 16 seeds if we take care of business.
I know some don't think a couple seed lines make much difference, but I disagree. History/stats bear out that being in the top 4 seeds greatly increases your chances of winning it all. I have given this stat before: There is a 15% difference in winning the 1st round game between a #4 seed and a #5 seed.
As the article also pointed out, there have only been 3 teams win it all outside of the top 4 seeds. Would love to see us earn one of those 16 spots!

This comes right after our toughest 5-game stretch of the season. If we do well we could be in it.
