For Seton Hall, I'd pass and roll the dice.

Shows the difference of our two programs, where I'd accept any Tournament invite in CMA's 4th year while you wouldn't accept the same seeding in your coach's first season. Would be fantastic for both programs to make the Tournament this year.

Really, I would be happy with any tourney invite next year, even if an 11 seed play-in game is what it ends up being. It's the coach's first year and there's a lot of roster turnover, so definitely a lot of unkowns, but I think the ceiling is high enough that I'd take my chances rather than sign up for that 11 seed before the start of the season.

CBK has UConn ahead of Nova.
1st I've seen this all offseason. hmmm

College sports madness top 144 countdown is down to 72 and we haven't seen a BE team since DePaul at #102. I thought we'd have seen Butler by now, but I guess they have 9 BE teams in top 71.

At your request, Marquette appears at 70, 9th in the BE:
