I saw another poll pitting us against Zagga and we're 14. Either way, not a single one of these pollsters have a clue until the official bracket comes out.

Checked ESPN, Foxsports, and collegerpi.com an hour ago.

collegerpi.com and ESPN had Griz playing UCLA, and Foxsports has Griz playing Gonzaga. collegerpi.com has had Griz playing Gonzaga almost all week but made the change today. Griz are 14th in three of these brackets.
ESPN is the only one of these three projected brackets that have Gonzaga as a 2 seed. the other 2 have Gonzaga as a 3 seed.

But, a 13th seed certainly is not out of the question in my opinion. I figure Montana is borderline 13th or 14th seed. So, I do hope that Griz get that 13th seed.


4pm on cbs, that is the time to find yourself at a tv.

Or go to Paradise Falls where the Griz will watch it.

A game that could make a difference is the Southland Championship. NW State is projected at a 13th seed. If they lose today to Sam Houston State they will be NIT bound and Sam Houston would be a lower seed than us. That opens up a 13th seed that we might get.

And they would be considered a western team. So with them dropping out of a 13 seed, Montana would make a lot more sense to seed against western teams than teams like Winthrop, Xavier, South Alabama or Murray State.

I'm still worried about Pacific today. With their history and name, I just hope they don't swoop in and take the SLC spot.

Not me ... can't stand the clowns.

I'll be in front of the computer where I can view the choices free of the incessant blather.

I like the matchup against Tenn, as I stated before they've been in a slump recently.

But I really do want the guys to be in SLC, I'd love to go see them on the court, at least one (maybe two :thumb: more times)

I'm bored so here's who I think will draw the top seeds;

1's - UConn/Duke/Villanova/Memphis
2's - GW/OSU/Texas/BC
3's - Zags/Florida/NC/Pitt
4's - Illinois/UCLA/Kansas/Tennessee

Of course this is just guess with zero research done.

Wonder where they'll seed Syracuse. If you think about it they beat 3 ranked teams in three days, UConn/Georgetown/Pitt. I would think maybe a 5 - 7 seed.

i'm guessin iowa will be a 3

 

[CerealCityGriz]

Kansas should be seeded as a 3 or 4 as well
