Big Sky Tournament winner in March Madness...

If WSU wins the Big Sky outright with 20+ wins and single digit loses, and a decent RPI, what tournament seed would we get? The Big Sky is ranked 17 out of 30 something conferences right now. WSU also has imo a quality win in Utah, mid-major wins in Morehead State and Cal State Fullerton, and UNC coming up in February. What does it take for WSU to receive a 12 or lower seed? I believe anything lower than a 12 seed is the lowest a WSU team has had. WSU does have a good strength of schedule, and if we keep winning our RPI should be in the top 50. Is it even possible to get a 12 or lower seed this year? Do we have a impressive resume?

Now if UNC wins outright what kind of seed would they receive? They have many quality wins and right now their RPI is higher than ours. If they win with 20+ wins and single digit losses, they should have a top 50 RPI. Can you see the committee giving them anything higher than a 12 seed? Because it’s their first bid, I don’t see them getting a higher seed than WSU would.

What do you guys know/think?
 
WSU seeds since the field of 64 started in 1979

1979: 7 seed
1980: 7 seed
1983: 9 seed
1995: 14 seed
1999: 14 seed
2003: 12 seed (14-0, 26-6)
2007: 15 seed (11-5, 20-12)


last 2 yrs i think psu had 23 wins and was a 13 seed in 2009 even though finishing 2nd in the conf and 16 seed in 2008 for first ever appearance

That would be a freaking sweet matchup, old Big SKy rivals playing each other in the big dance.
 
I would really love to see WSU get in with a decent 10 seed. That wy we have a good chance to roll into the sweet 16!!!

when we had the 7 and 9 seeds we were ranked in the AP Top 25 so it wouldnt be likely for a big sky team to get higher than a 12 no matter what this season.

i think if UNC wins the conf and continues at the rate they are going they would get a 12 seed. I dont see anything better than that since they dont have any great wins, a lot of good wins though of course. but even then since they've never made it they could get dis'd for that. but they have to win in ogden first.

if its us i think we go in as a 14 since we would most likely have 20-21 wins.
