The only scenario to compare it to would be the 2003-2004 St. Joe’s team – a mid-major team that went unbeaten in the regular season (the Hawks lost in the A-10 tourney to Xavier and entered the NCAA tourney with one loss). St. Joe’s was rewarded a 1 seed for its efforts, but unlike Illinois State this year, their resume was loaded with quality wins that year. The Hawks had 5 RPI Top 50 wins and 2 RPI Top 25 wins and finished the season at No. 3 in the RPI. Illinois State, meanwhile, could go through its regular season schedule and not beat a tournament team (maybe Creighton, but that’s very iffy right now). Their best win will likely come in the BracketBuster game on Feb 21 (vs. Xavier? Butler?) , but they will be at the mercy of the schedule makers in terms of who they play. Even if they go unbeaten, anything better than a 3 seed would be a stretch. Their resume won’t warrant anything more. A 1 seed is out of the question, and a 2 would be as well. A 3 (or more likely a 4) would seem appropriate.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-9803805807219892612009-01-05T02:04:00.000-05:002009-01-05T02:04:00.000-05:00If Illinois State runs the table during the regula...If Illinois State runs the table during the regular season, I wonder how high their seed could go. I can't imagine them getting a 1 seed with their poor schedule, so maybe a 2 or 3?<BR/><BR/>In any case, thank you Boston College!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
