Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

I really hope we are the 7 seed. This way even if we lose in the first round we still get a shot at another BCS team by playing the loser of Mizzou/Minny.

If Mizzou/Minny is the 4/5 game, wouldn't we need to be in the 1/8 game to play them?

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

I think you're right, but I guess it depends on how the losers bracket will be set up.

We'll just have to wait till tomorrow when the official brackets are released.

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

Sounds like it is likely going to be Louisville as well. Will be tough, but a certainly a tremendous opportunity.

Here is last year's bracket it if you want an Idea of how it will be set up. Looks like we will get 3 quality games regardless of what happens.

Rumor on Memphis board is that we get Duke, (memphis gets VCU).

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

Looks like Memphis/VCU is in our bracket as well, so we will get the winner/loser of that game in round 2.

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

I was just looking up some early preseason polls for next year, and found this one from ESPN and Andy Katz--http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bask...nges-elsewhere

He has every team in the Atlantis field ranked except UNI and Stanford, and they both won NIT games last year.

Plus, Creighton is ranked and we get a minimum of two games from them. St Mary's is always good and could be a top 25 team. UNLV is ranked, and could be a top 10 type team. George Mason is always good. Iowa should be pretty good this year as well.

This is one of the best non conference schedules in the entire country (I wouldn't be surprised to see it end up a top 5 RPI schedule) without a doubt. I am terribly excited for this basketball season, and I hope we can live up to this schedule and our own expectations.

Katz just tweeted "Battle 4Atlantis bracket (Nov22-24): Top bracket Missouri-Stanford; Duke-Minnesota; bottom bracket Memphis-VCU; Louisville-Northern Iowa"

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

Re: Battle 4 Atlantis 2012

The nice part about having a tough NC schedule is we get multiple chances at knocking off some big name opponents and we really won't be penalized much for taking a couple losses.
