Only 8 days until the field is announced for the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

One of Villanova's main players has been taken off on a stretcher and they are losing by double digits. If they lose, then that is 2 possible #1's losing before the finals of their tournaments. Memphis should get a #1 if they win tomorrow and maybe even if they lsoe.

#2 Villanova lsoes by 14. I do feel bad for their player and hope he is ok. I also however disagree that they should still be a #1 seed. We had our star PG injured in our 2 main losses (duke and texas). He was barely able to move in them and his main attribute is his speed. If memphis wins tomorrow, not only should they be a #1 but it would be so wrong to make them be the West #1! If we win tomorrow, we finish the season 19-1 our final 20 games. They flat can't consider 3 teams ahead of us!

Almost everyone says we wrapped up the #1 seed now. Some think we may not be the West one now also.

edit: we are the main picture on the front of espn.com, not just their bball page.

Also on CBS' front page. Although Gregg Doyls says Memphis dosent deserve a 1.

He's a moron apparently. Conference means zippo because the teams in good conferences played mostly terrible non-conference schedules. We played the #2 toughest non-conf schedule in the country. So it all evens out. And we will finish either #2, #3, or #4 in RPI also which takes into account difficulty from ALL games, so it is BS if they think our conference should keep us form it.

Add to that we are the only team with 30 wins and we have a lot of wins against top teams. I think it was 10 or 11 wins we have against top 58 teams which may be top 50 when RPI is updated actually. Other teams dont have that many. Ohio State has only beat 1 team in the CURRENT top 25. WE have beat 4 of them.

edit: as an fyi.... the final #1 that moron has listed is in a 4 point game at half-time, was just punished yesterday and had to take a final four banner down and not count their tournament wins form a 3 year period, AND on CBS they said their championship game would be too late tomorrow to factor into the seeding decisions and since they have to win their tourney to have any shot of taking ours, they probably cant do it.

Oh and btw, we are 19-1 our last 20 games. Find me another doing that. And when people say yeah but you are in c-usa, well I just looked and out of those 20 games, 5-7 were against teams who are going to the NCAA tournament.

edit: sigh.... ohio state won by 1 point. If they give them the #1 it is riduclous. Like I said they ahve only beat 1 team CURRENTLY in the top 25.

Less than an hour until they announce the field and 1 of the 2 teams that could have taken the #1 from us, Texas, is about to lose. And Ohio State is in a close game and also they went against waht the committee themselves said by doing a bad non-conference schedule.

Ohio State just lost. The CBS people said that this loss almost certainly should have Memphis as the final #1.

Just letting you know that same guy you mentioned showed his bracket on CBS and it has Memphis going to the national championship game and losing to UCONN. They showed 5 expert brackets and 1 other also had us in the national championship game losing to UCONN. I would be mighty happy if that happens. Of coruse would rather actually win it though.
