I see we're are the projected 14th seed. If we did win out the
remaining games would that change the seeding down to 13 or
does not matter at this point?. It's my understanding, the
higher the seed you are, 16 i think is the highest, you would be
playing against a number 1 seed opponent obviously decreasing
your chances of winning and moving on to the next round. So as
of now we are up against a 2nd or 3 rd seed team...
Could someone clear up this confusing NCAA seed Tournament
placement !!

At 13 the first round game is against the 4th seed. At 14 it is
against the 3rd. Not sure it makes that much of a difference.

It is hard to imagine an America East team as a 13 seed and we
would certainly have to win out to have any chance of that - we
will probably need to win out to have any chance at a 14 seed.
Every seed you move up improves your chance of winning, at least
a first round game, since the higher your seed the "stronger" a
team you are and the "weaker" a team you play in the first
round.
Overall tournament record of #13 seeds: (29-112) 20.6%
Overall tournament record of #14 seeds: (18-112) 13.8%
Overall tournament record of #15 seeds: (6-112) 5.1%
Overall tournament record of #16 seeds: (0-112) 0.0%
Obviously from looking at the statistics the key is avoiding the
16 seed!

So in a perfect world, where every regular season champion wins
their conference - we'd likely end up as a 14 seed.
However, as we learned last year, that's not the case. It's 100%
realistic for us to move up if one of the projected 13 seeds
falls. My pick is Bucknell, who seems to have staggered down the
stretch.
Just gotta keep our heads down and keep playing at this point.
We're projected to be the highest AEC seed since UVM in 2005.

Thanks redwyn. I have another question. Because BU is exempt
from from winning the conference, and they do have the best
record in the AE will that change the remaining teams schedule.I
guess what i am asking is, if BU finished #1 and SB finished #2,
would SB automatically be #1 because of BU leaving the AE ????
