The Holy Land of Hoops

1-Villanova (East)
5-Georgetown
6-Butler, Providence
7-Xavier
8-SJU

1 - Villanova (East)
6 - Providence
6/7 - Georgetown
8 - Butler
8 - Xavier
10 - St. John's

If you do not mind playing a bit away from home, tournament bound Big East teams should hope to be sent to Omaha. I read that over 85% of the seats offered for sale are in the hands of Creighton season ticketholders who would be passionate supporters of their new conference mates. Here's your chance to use our fanbase to support you instead of rooting against you.

Looks like 2 of Arizona, Kansas, and Wisconsin will be the higher seeds in Omaha. That means if you're there, then you're in the 7/10 or 8/9 game. Depending on seeding, Creighton fans have a shot to see any of the 5 at large teams (maybe 2), but most likely St. John's, Xavier, or Butler.

It should be really interesting to see what the committee does with Kansas, which has the #3 RPI and the #1 SOS but also has 8 losses, including the championship game in the Big XII tournament.

I'd guess that they're a 2. I thought that they still had an outside chance at the 1 seed had they beaten Iowa State yesterday, as winning both the Big 12 Regular Season and Tournament is impressive, even if they lost 7 games. Obviously they don't now.

I love how ESPN was saying Nova might lose it's spot as a 1 seed to Wisconsin or Arizona then Virginia and Duke BOTH lose before the ACC finals. haha I hope Wisconsin steals one of their 1 seeds.

Also did anyone notice that ND never even made a BET final and in it's second season win the whole ACC tourny? hahahaha

There's no way that both Virginia and Duke will be 1 seeds. I think it's quite likely that both are 2 seeds. UK and Nova are locks for 1 seeds. Arizona should be a 1 seed with a 16-0 record against the RPI Top 100 and winning both the PAC-12 Regular Season and Tournament titles. Wisconsin should be a 1 seed, too, if they win the Big Ten Tournament title.

just heard Dickie V say that Nova is the team that no one is talking about but could be a major factor.

+1. Love the Creighton support.
