From ESPN's Joe Lunardi's chat today:
jeremy (Milwaukee,WI): The UWM Panthers are starting to create a buzz in this town, which is remarkable considering we share it with Marquette. It looks as though we should get the Horizons' bid into the tourney. Is there any chance that they would play their 1st round game at the Bradley Center? keep in mind that it is NOT their home court...
Joe Lunardi: Probably not. UWM would most likely be seeded No. 12 or lower, meaning the Nos. 1-5 in that bracket would be "protected" away from the Panthers. Get to a No. 11 or better, and then we'll talk. I'd love to see it happen!
-------
Honestly, if UWM runs the table (knock on wood), I think it would be in that 10 or 11 seed range. Its RPI would probably end up somewhere in the 40s.
Very interesting if the Bradley Center becomes a viable option.
