I doubt we have a poor performance. I just want a freaking W. I'm sick of losing this event

We could afford it in 2007 cause of all our other big wins, but last year and this year we really need a W to help our seed Agreed, coupled with how strong Southern Illinois was in 2007, the impact wasn't as bad, although our record and a pre-season NIT victory should have gotten us a 4 seed, in my opinion.

As for our matchup with Davidson, I don't care what their RPI is compared to Sienna or any other school. In the court of public opinion (and the Selection Committee), Davidson is the mid-major darling and a school proven to compete with the big boys.

I wouldn't say that Curry going pro is a given. He seems to enjoy the college game and bringing the spotlight to the smaller school that he attends. It is going to be tough for him to succeed in the pros, as he is going to have to be a PG and will be guarded by guys that are about 3-4 inches taller than him. He creates fairly well, but that is one of the parts of his game that is lacking.

But BUCheer's argument is a good one. The trade off in ESPN's exposure as they highlight Butler as a happening young team going from February Bracketbuster weekend to March tournament play would outweigh the RPI drop-off that would come from playing Davidson next year.

Of course, it would be nice to win that game. It would impress the NCAA selection committee and justify giving Butler a high seed. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Butler seeds) http://buhoops.yuku.com/sreply/40781 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:59:30 GMT http://buhoops.yuku.com/reply/40780/t/The-top-three-bracketbuster-games-are-.html#reply-40780 norbert wrote:

...because the selection committee will if it's convenient. Let's just enjoy the games. I would very much like to see the Bulldogs play Davidson. And if Curry stays for his senior year a visit to Hinkle next year should bring out a huge crowd and be a great game.

I say bring it on. Wishing Curry would stay for his senior year can be closely compared to commentary on the chances... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Duck on a Rock) http://buhoops.yuku.com/sreply/40778 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:51:12 GMT http://buhoops.yuku.com/topic/3066/t/The-top-three-bracketbuster-games-are-.html
#2 Game: Utah State at St. Mary's - The Gaels' Loss in Spokane made ESPN's selection here easy.

#3 Game: Northeastern at Siena - George Mason's loss to Old Dominion made the visiting #3 pick easy. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Alexis Zorbas) http://buhoops.yuku.com/topic/3066 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 20:59:23 GMT
