Now that it’s locked in its bid by winning the MVC tournament, Loyola Chicago will be in prime position to make a run in the Big Dance thanks to its seeding. The Ramblers are likely looking at a No. 10 seed thanks to strong quality metrics and a great neutral-court win over San Francisco. They could potentially climb to the No. 9 line depending on results around them.

Things To Sample

Seeds in mid-major conference tournaments are meaningless
We’re still five days away from Selection Sunday and already we’ve seen anarchy hit the mid-major level. As of today, four teams — Towson, Cleveland State, Northern Iowa, and Texas State — who were the top seeds in their respective mid-major conference tournaments have lost before the title game. Translation: Seeds are meaningless in mid-major conference tournaments.
