Let’s beat Loserville, USF, and then make a big run in the tournament and move up to a 4. and hopefully first two rounds in Charlotte. There’s still time!
In the ESPN Bracketology, we would be in line to play the Cuse in the 2nd round and the Illini in the Sweet 16.
CNNSI, look who we would be in line to play in the 2nd round. Revenge?
It would be stange watching Basden on Grier. I’d be worried about Grier having a career game against us just for some payback. Even if he did, they only have 1 other double digit scorer (17.6ppg for Grier, 11.6 ppg for Hagen). Nobody else on the team can score so I think we’d be in good shape. I would hate to draw the Illini. Whoever beats them will do it by slowing down the pace and that’s not our style.
this is last weeks i believe with updated records. It has to be, i think they had us playing minnesota last week. but the thing that keys me in is Pitt lost twice and they have them as going UP
ya our group of 4 (us,minn,pitt,whoeverpittplayedfirstround) didn’t chance from last week. Also in the listing on the side of conferences with multiple bids it indicates cusa with 4, but in the brackets we actually have 5. me thinks lunardi is either not finished updating it yet, or is confused.
It’s updated now. Charlotte’s still a 5 seed, playing in the Chicago region, with a first-round matchup in Cleveland against Miami of Ohio. The 4-13 matchup in our bracket is Syracuse and Holy Cross. Sweet 16 matchup would be Illinois, Fairleigh-Dickinson (yeah, I don’t see that happening), Nevada, or Maryland. Other C-USA teams in are Louisville (3 seed in the Austion region), Cincinnati (6 seed in the Albuquerque region), and DePaul (8 seed in the Albuquerque region). All of the C-USA teams (except for Memphis, which dropped out) have the same seeding as last week.
I also like this from the “Games of the Week” section on the left:
[b]Thursday
Charlotte at Louisville
Maybe the last meaningful regular-season game in C-USA history.[/b]

[b] [url=http://www.bracketography.com/]Bracketography[/url] has us as a 4-seed playing SUNY-Buffalo in Nashville. [/b]
Buffalo is led by senior G Turner Battle of Kernersville, NC (East Forsyth HS), who averages 15 ppg.
No way Charlotte and Louisville are both #4 seeds. If we win out we are #3 seed. If Louisville wins out they are #2 seed. Having us as both a #4 means somebody’s going to lose and possibly someone else win the tourney. Cincy can’t win it in this scenario because they are a #6 seed.
Jerry Palm has updated his bracket. He has us as a 5 seed playing Iowa State in the first round (in Cleveland). Potential matchups with Syracuse in the second round and UNC-Chapel Hill in the third round.
I don’t like that scenario of playing Miami-Ohio in Cleveland. That will be like playing a road game at their place. If we can play well and get up to that four seed it will greatly improve our matchup in the first round. None of the #12 seeds are pushovers.
