Let's say we win out (less Memphis 03-banghead). I'd be correct in saying we'd be the 3rd seed in the tournament? That would be a heck of a turn around. Someone who is better at determining these things can chime in...
Depends on what the other teams do of course, but yes we have a chance to get an opening round bye, which is what we want anyway.

Seeding doesn't matter as much because sooner or later you have to beat someone.

Yes, I know we haven't beaten Memphis in a while.
Just win.
This year, the top 5 seeds will get a first round bye, since there will be no 12th team due to UCF's shenanigans.

Right now, it appears Memphis and USM will be 1 and 2 unless there is an epic collapse. UTEP lost to Tulsa, but still has a 1.5 game edge on the 3-seed. UAB is only 1 game back from a tie for 5th place, which would earn a bye. There's still a ton left to play for!

Another interesting fact: We have played 6 Top 50 opponents, which is more than any other school in the conference currently.

we have the second highest SOS behind UTEP.

That UTEP win will prove to be huge if we handle our business and win.
