Important to get at least a 3-seed for the NCAAT and avoid potentially dangerous spoilers like Samford, McNeese, and Vermont, who are going to be on the 13 line.
Right on...You OD NOT want to be playing a 12 or 13 seed. Many of those teams are teams (In the 12 seed and a couple in the 13 seed anyway) that aren't auto-qualifiers from the bottom-feeder conferences and are around #45 to #60 range... similar to Seton Hall, Providence, Xavier, Nova. They are the dangerous ones.
I know 12-seeds tend to be the upset darlings, but they still only win about 35% of the 5-12 matchups and they only have a .336 overall win percentage in the NCAA tourney. That's probably all moot anyway because it seems inconceivable that the Jays drop to the 5 line at this point. Still, I'm not sure I can agree that you don't want to be playing a 13 -- 13-seeds have only won 32 first-round games since the tourney expanded, which is only a little better than the 22 first-round games that 14-seeds have won.

Also Kaluma's KSU team beat up on Texas. Hope they can make the tourney along with Nembhard's Gonzaga (don't want to see the Zags as a 7 seed though!)
Very random, but also saw Antwann Jones in action at UCF yesterday. He's been around a lonnnnggg time in college basketball.
