What I am saying is we are not a big name like Notre Dame is for example.

Some teams can have what are considered to be mediocre seasons for them or worse and they still get an advantage, especially with recruiting, just due to their history and name. Notre Dame is known for developing great point guards. Even through their bad seasons they still got some of the top recruits. There are teams you can just say their name and they have the background and history to them that naturally draws attention and a crowd. We have not reached that level, even with the Final Four run.

That feels like an outlier. I'm seeing mostly 9 or 10 seed predictions. **

And what the responders are saying is that they don't believe that impacts

I gotta believe we’re better than an 11 seed. **
Stork 03/06/26 01:17 PM ET
Agree, but i guess it is really about how many other teams you can

Agree…we have not been on anyone’s bubble in a long time.

A win tonight would change the calculus I believe
