Ideally, give me a Friday/Sunday venue with an evening game on Friday. Since sadly I won't be there, I at least want to be able to watch.
By the way, next to Mr. and Mrs. Kelm (God bless 'em)and a few other parents, I think I may have attended as many Panther road games this year as anyone not part of the team or staff. After all that, and I can't make it either to Dayton for last night's game or to the NCAA next week? Life's not fair sometimes. Oh well. I loved every trip I made to support the guys this year, and I'm already sorry it will be 8 months until I can do it again.

15 seed vs. Kansas in St. Louis per Lunardi. That would be great--a Friday/Sunday site less than 6 hours from Milwaukee. HL Teams have been kept close to home the past few years, so hopefully that doesn't work against us since the committee tries not to send teams or conferences far from their geographical region two years in a row or more.

There has to be 0% chance they will put a #14/15/16 seed, in their hometown.
So what's the shortest distance we can hope for? Probably St. Louis?
I wouldn't mind a First Round, "play-in game". I think we could roll over whoever that opponent would be.

I think they will be a 15, few conferences that are weaker than Horizon L. It will be a tough draw but that is why you play.

I'm thinking a #15 against Kansas, Duke, or Syracuse.
I would like to see our game be in the late night Friday slot.

The other day I predicted a 16, but ESPN's newest bracketology has Milwaukee as a 15 seed playing Kansas.

American won at Boston Univ. Could be a 16 seed.

After comparing some resumes, I think we fall close to the cusp of being a #14 seed. Another upset or two and we would have a great shot.
#14 UC Irvine
#15 North Carolina Central
#15 Milwaukee
#15 American
#15 Utah Valley
#16 Wofford
#16 Stony Brook
#16 Weber State
#16 Coastal Carolina
#16 Alabama State
#16 Mount St. Mary's
We are a bit behind North Carolina Central but we have 2 better wins then them and a tougher SOS. However they have a gaudy record going for them and way fewer bad losses then us so I think they would get the nod over us at the moment.
If UC Irvine and UCSB were to get upset in the Big West conference tournament we would likely be seeded ahead of the Big West champion. It's not likely but it's something to root for.

Root for all the sub-RPI 132 teams over the next three days.
Every significant upset helps Milwaukee's seeding.

Things have started pretty well for us in the Big West tournament so far.
UCSB, the #2 seed, is down 41-20 to Cal Poly at the half.
If that score holds we will still need UC Irvine to be upset in the next couple days.
