We are now listed as a 10 seed. Wouldn't be a bad place to finish but at this point, I am more concerned with making the tourney than anything else.

Yep, I'll worry about seeding later. Right now, I'm just concerned about making it. I don't think 7-10 makes too much difference for the first round, much more about the draw.
Lunardi has us as one of the last four byes. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I think we'll do better than that. If we finish as top 4 or 5 in the conference and beat UofA we should have the strength of schedule and the quality wins needed to get in with an 8 or 9 seed. I'm not sure what goes on behind the scenes during Selection Sunday, but the committee may dock us for not having Dinwiddie. However, if we finish off the season by winning 2 games at home and 2 games away, we should be a lock for a decent seed and not one of the last four byes. A Buffs victory over UCLA would probably do wonders for us in terms of seeding, huge opportunity if we can pull off a road sweep here.

Winning four games should be about the status quo, maybe a little above. 3 games probably below. 5 games would be a definite upgrade.

Lunardi now has us projected with the Tarheels as the 7-10 pairing. NO THANK YOU.

Not too concerned with our projected opponents other than because it's fun to talk about, we still haven't locked down a spot even. I'm more concerned where we are seeded than anything else.
Eh I watched the UNC vs FSU game last night. They really don't scare me. Obviously extremely well coached, but they make some really boneheaded mistakes. They barely pulled out the win against a team that apparently has no idea how to play defense.
However, I would personally love to get that 8/9 seed if we could pull Wich. St. as the 1 seed. I think we could make a little run in that scenario.

With Lunardi's lastest bracketology....we are the last Pac 12 school in
I know it's complete conjecture this time of year. I think our talent (not experience or team cohesion) is on par or better than the top, say, 30% of the projected field, but Carolina is absolutely loaded. They're a head case team, but one of the few teams out there that can purely out-athlete the Buffs. Just a bad match up for us, like UCLA. IMO.
1 Seed: Arizona
5 Seed: UCLA
9 Seed: Cal
9 Seed: ASU
9 Seed: Stanford
10 Seed: Colorado
Not sure I understand the Cal/Stanford love at this point. But it is obvious lunardi still doesn't trust us, post dinwiddie. We can do some big damage to that perception this week.

Exactly. ESPN's stance on CU post Spencer has been a ****ing joke. Please shut them up, starting tonight
Do not want VCU. Was talking to TZ about this on twitter. We have a pretty valid argument to be seeded higher than KSU, Umass, Pitt, and Memphis.

We need to avoid them at all costs. See last 2 min of USC game for reasoning. Honestly, I'd rather a 10/11 seed instead of a 9

That be good revenge from 2011 Selection Sunday, even if they're argument was bolstered by the Final Four run.
Sure. Whatever they can use for motivation they should use.
Personally, I was much more upset about the Penn State and USC selections that year.

I think VCU took away our spot more than those teams.
That whole bracket is full of nope for us as a #9 seed.
even if we beat VCU in the first round, having to play UF in the second??? **** that. Especially in Orlando.

I would be fine with an 8 or 9 seed, as long as we are in the Wichita State bracket. I think a power conference team can take the shockers. No offense to our resident shocker fan.

Hard to see us getting above a 7 seed, so it's going to all remain about the same unless we stumble or get snubbed into an 11 or 12

That bracket is still messed up. OU a #6 seed?
If we can win 3 of these last 5 and advance in the Pac-12 tourney, I expect our RPI and closing record to push the Buffs into a 6-seed or better. It helps that there simply aren't many teams in the west that are justified as sub-8 seeds. Zona, UCLA and SDSU with CU, Gonzaga, New Mexico and ASU lurking. That's light for the MT & PT zones.

We'd deserve higher, I just feel like this Spencer thing is going to hold us back despite the evidence we keep compiling to the contrary. We're always going to be the "injured Buffs".
If we get up to a 6, just don't let us get in KU's bracket. They would want some serious revenge.

I think KU will want to win regardless of who they are facing in a win-or-go-home tourney.
