would like to be at least a 15 seed based on history, or maybe we can just go ahead and make history on our own!

16 seed? Ouch. Could be worse, we could be in the play-in game

Or not in the tournament at all. C'mon guys, we've been over this.

Stop the presses! Joe Lunardi & ESPN has us as an NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAM!!! Talk about some serious, grade B crow for the haters out there. (grade A would be to actually get there). 16 seed or not I don't care, that's a big deal. It just shows what a tremendous Louis Orr, the coaching staff, and the players have done over the last month and a half or so.

GO BG! RANSACK THE REDHAWKS!!!

Not to mention, the play-in game means 1-3 games in Dayton.

We'd never make the play-in game. That's always reserved for, believe it or not, the conferences below the MAC...or for a team with a barely .500 record.

Also, the MAC tourney winner has never been a #16 seed as far as I can remember.

I would look for anywhere from a #13 to #15 seed for the MAC tourney winner this year.

I'm happy as you know what we are included in bracketology. But, being the 16 seed playing UConn (who is the overall #1 seed) would mean we are the worst team in the tourny? Sorry I just don't see that.

No, the two play-in teams would be the worst teams in the tourney. See RWT's post, since I agree with that.

(Such a shame that Tom got his sensible post for the year out of the way so early...

Wouldn't we be the 3rd worst team in the tourny? I thought 64 and 65 are the play-in...

I know it's been awhile, but when was the last time BG made the Big Dance? Thanks for your help! Go BG!

Like I have and others have said, I just want to fill out an NCAA men's bracket with BG on it.

There are 4 16 seeds so 3rd through 6.

16 Seed is more a condemnation of the state of MAC basketball than anything else. Serious credit to Coach Orr for making lemonade this year! He and the team have shown a lot over the last six weeks and I for one questioned whether they could.

This is a back handed compliment, but with the state of the MAC this year we are the tallest midget...and I'll take it.
