Wrong glass, Sir.
I don't know the layout of who above us in the polls won and lost, but I'd think we'd crack the top 10 after the Purdue win. Seth Davis made me happy. @pedsters and @tsun this week. That'll be tough, but if we can get through it, we should be looking at no worse than a 3 seed.

Not counting Xavier, we've gone 2-3 against five of his top thirteen. And nobody can realistically argue that the team is remotely the same team that started off the season with the losses to Clemson and Gonzaga. And as much as it sucks, it benefits us for Michigan to stay ranked.
To date, the juggalos have played one currently ranked team (Xavier) and lost by double digits. At best their signature win is going to be 22nd ranked Wichita State (which would likely turn Wichita State into an unranked team). Anyone talking about making these clowns a 1 or 2 seed, is high as shit. The juggalo board has all but penciled themselves into the Final Four though, so I guess the higher the seeding, the more delicious the inevitable juggalo tears will be.

Yeah, nothing to really hang your head on the Clemson, UNC, Zaga, and even Butler losses (I hated how it went down at the time, though). The Penn State loss is just one of those big conference things that can happen to anybody. Our schedule has definitely prepared us for any and all comers.

I agree, but they have a shiny record and name-recognition. Nobody in college ball is really differentiating themselves enough to prevent it from happening.

And I can't say how important it is for the Buckeyes to cling to the regular season championship and get that 1 seed in Madison Square Garden. It's the difference between having to play the winner of Sparty-Boiler versus the likely scenario of having to go through both of them to cut the nets.

I don't even understand the frickin' name recognition. Yes, they make the tournament ever year, but they go home the first weekend ever year too. They've been to one Final Four in the last 54 years. And those two titles are about as relevant as the two that San Francisco has.

Hey I'd take a 4-seed in the same region where Cincinnati is a 1-seed. Like you said, they've played nobody and Holtmann has made a believer out of me.

I'd prefer that they go home the first weekend.
Because they're juggalos.
But I am coming around to a game with them. We'd have nothing to lose, be the underdog in a year when we weren't even supposed to make the NIT. We lose, and it's expected. We win, and we not only ruin their dream season but for once and for all shut them up over 61-62.
