Does WVU deserve a #1 seed?

BettingWizard · 03-13-10, 11:20 PM

no they dont have enough scorers

Butler with another game-winner!

West Virginia wins the Big East with three tight wins.

I'm assuming they'll be the top #2.

They needed an early loss from Duke or even Kentucky to make the leap to a #1, but both those teams are playing for their conference titles tomorrow. Syracuse losing its first game probably doesn't drop them, so it's looking like Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, and Syracuse with the #1s. West Virginia and Ohio State would be the top #2s, I think.

BTW, this was the first ever BE title for WVU.

Duke wins tomorrow they are #1
They lose WVA might sneak in there..... 25% chance.

Hell no.

Duke has their #1 seed.

WV would be the first #1 seed bounced...

julio_cat · 03-13-10, 11:43 PM

I believe they will factor the 2000 wins of the three team that got them.
So IMO WVA will be a #2

capri5421 · 03-13-10, 11:43 PM

Kansas overall # 1 seed
Kentucky 1 seed
Syracuse 1 seed
W. Virginia 1 seed

Once again The Big East own's college hoop's.

I highly doubt West Virginias gonna pull off the number 1 seed but they could I guess..........

bpw6 · 03-14-10, 12:01 AM

I think so! They have showed that they can be clutch in tight situations

Shortstop · 03-14-10, 12:02 AM

Of course they do, they're the best team in the strongest conference in the nation.

Is there any other contenders for the final #1?

Ohio St., Kansas, Duke and Kentucky.

suckerforparlays · 03-14-10, 12:04 AM

Baylor would give West Virginia a real game think about that.......... West Virginia lives on the clutch end of the game shot. They dont close games out like a strong team. They cant keep living on the buzzer shot

I like Duke to lose tommorow so I think 2 BE schools could get #1's

#3 in regular season and Notre Dame as a 7 seed was best team they played in BET

DaColts · 03-14-10, 12:26 AM

Where is Ohio state in your picture here I know WV beat OSU at WV but OSU has only lost 4 game with turner in the line up. I say they get the top no 2. I don't belive the big east gets 2 no 1 as well or deserves them

I knew someone would jump in and downplay the fact that they won the Championship.

How can Syracuse be given a 1 seed coming off of two straight losses?? There are teams more deserving.

gotta look at their full body of work, not just the last two losses

If Duke wins today, they will get a number 1 seed, if they lose, it will go to WVU. Never underestimate the pull of the Duke and Coach K brand within the NCAA...........

If they lose, Duke almost certainly still gets a number 1 seed.

totally agreed. Duke has a crazy rpi, co-ACC title, at least a ACC tourny final appearance, and they are Duke. They could lose by 25 today and they are still a number one seed.

It happened in exactly that order.
