Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 891587, member: 1969"] I would love to see UMass as a 4 seed, but I am not sure if they are on track for it anymore. They have been very shaky at home for 4 consecutive games, and barely got by a bad Mason team last night. That being said if Nova and UMass are on 2 different seed lines in the top 4 seeds, we are basically guaranteed to get them in our pod (assuming we are #1 east) This is for two reasons: 1) The committee moved away from s-curve for top lines, to geography a few years back. 2) Top seeds that get placed out of region are those that are not #1 in their conference, and most be moved in order to meet bracket rules. Villanova and UMass would be #1 in the conference [/QUOTE]
