Unless the wheels completely come off, it looks like we are tourney bound. Even if we lose against SMC on Sat and lose the first game of the WCC tournament we'd still be a bubble team.
But I don't see us losing on Sat and something tells me after a first round exist last year Pope is going to have the guys dialed up.
So, the question remains, how of a seed is possible? Right now we are projected as high as a 7th seed. We never get what we're projected as, so reality is if the season were to end today, we'd be an 8 or 9.
Should we win the rest of our games and lose to Gonzaga in the finals, I think we end up with a 6th seed. We miraculously beat Gonzaga, and I think we jump as high as a 4th seed.
I believe Joe Lunardi take into account the no-Sunday play downgrade when he projects BYU's seeding, That is one of the reasons he had BYU on the bubble for so long. Because the metrics say BYU should be a 6 or 7 seed: 26 NET, 22 KenPom, 28 BPI, 23 Sagarin, 16 KPI, 22 SOR, 3-3 Q1, and 4-2. With the win over St Mary's tonight they should only go up and add another Q2 win.Statistics: Posted by E-Zone15 — Sun Feb 28, 2021 12:19 am
