I think Tennessee just jumped us for the #4 spot.

A huge road win for them

We're both 23-6. Don't see why they would jump us.

I think we are neck and neck.

But going into this game we were #3 in NET and Tenn was #5

But they just added a huge road quad 1 win over Alabama- #6 in NET

I don't think we lose that one seed unless we lose next week. We were too far ahead of Tennessee to just suddenly be neck and neck with them.

Tennessee is finishing up their schedule with 2 more quad 1 games after this one.

They can only help themselves, UA can only hurt itself.

Agreed. Arizona must sweep the LA trip - no margin for error.

Tenn has two quad 1 games this week: @ #18 South Carolina, and #16 Kentucky - win both, and it would be hard to keep them off the #1 line.

Iowa St has only scored 26 points in 24 minutes.

Down 14 in Manhattan

PS - it will be weird next year when this is the Non-Big12 thread and ISU/KSU will be in the conference thread. Strange days

ISU’s pressure defense is pretty good but once you break the press they aren’t great in the half court. A lot of bodying up which only works when refs let you foul.

Based upon UK's play today, I think anyone who hopes to make it to the Final Four, absolutely does not want them to be in the same regional bracket...

Guys you are a bit premature. The winner of the next 4 that is 4 games will determine if we are a one seed. Not todays Tennessee's game not our next game but the results of the tourney. So please calm the F down.

What I will say is Kentucky can shoot and block shots.

The committee doesn't really care much about the tourney. Just making it to the title game without another loss should be fine.

I'm not sure how you figure they don't care about the tournament when they have said in the past that they had two or more brackets depending on whether a high seed was going to win or not. It might not matter this year but it has in the past. So let me put it to you another way. If Tennessee won today but lost in the finals of their tournament and Arizona did not lose another game do you think that would change the committees mind on who the number one seed should be?

No, because I think Arizona is a 1 seed as long we don't lose regardless of what Tennessee does. I think we had too much of a head start for them to catch up. But I know most people don't agree with that opinion.

Seriously. It's just one game at a time. Look what happened when Tennessee lost and UA walloped UCLA. I imagine more than one poster thought the Cats had the 4th #1 seed locked up.
