akzipper Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 So most likely we are a 13 seed right? That puts us in Buffalo, Milwaukee or Portland? Can't make it but man Buffalo would be a easy drive for Zips fans. Just fill up your tanks before you leave Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsrule Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm guessing either 13 or 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Apparently the ESPN broadcast projected the winner of the game to be a 14 seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes102 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Bleacher Report has the Zips as a 14 seed paired up with 3 seed Wisconsin (with #6 Alabama vs #11 Virginia Tech in other game) https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2954122-ncaa-bracketology-2022-real-time-seed-and-region-projections-for-all-68-teams Edited March 13, 2022 by mes102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 My guess is a 14 seed simply because of being a 4 seed in the conference tourney and the MAC being ranked something like 19th out of the 32 conferences this year, when historically it has been a top 14 conference. I am not sure why but when I look at the possible destination locations the one that seems to be calling out to me is Fort Worth. Knowing that the committee traditionally tries to put top 4 seeds in each region closer to home. So my wild guess, and I actually hope I am wrong, would be Akron in Fort Worth against Texas Tech. The committee could always go for the story line though ( it happens too often to be coincidence) and have John Groce coaching against Illinois. The seeds will line up just about right. If that happened it would probably be somewhere like Milwaukee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 ESPN Bracketology 21 hours ago had KSUcks as a 13 seed. Akron would slot into that I'd assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Akron beat 118 (Buffalo), 75 (Toledo), and 123 (KSUcks) to win the MAC. We're a 13 seed all day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 USA Today has the best scenario so far in my opinion They have us as the 13 seed playing 4 seed Providence. The other part of the section is 5 seed Houston playing the winner of Michigan and Notre Dame. The other top 3 seeds in the region are 1 seed Arizona, 2 seed Kentucky, 3 seed Purdue. They have the Akron-Providence & Houston-Michigan/Notre Dame section playing in Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 A game that could impact whether we're a 13 or 14 seed is the Yale - Princeton game. Princeton has a better NET and would likely be seeded ahead of us. We would likely be seeded ahead of Yale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm was hoping for a 9 seed and a first round rematch with THE (always over seeded) osu. Now, if both teams actually wind up in the Midwest Region (even though the NCAA seems to like to send Akron teams as far away from Akron as they can for tournament competition) it looks like I have to hope osu can win a game or two to set up a thrashing at the hand.s of the Zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 14 seed is certainly a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
