2022 Arch Madness Seeding Projections

[Blers42]

Uguak going to stick three 3s and then air ball free throws? Williamson going to have balls go rim, top of board, rim, rim, in multiple times again?

Hope Loyola has another 20 minute stretch where they can literally do no wrong or it's going to be a long afternoon on Saturday....

Without Phyfe playing meaningful minutes, Loyola matches up well with UNI. I’m sure this game will be more competitive though. Uguak is also shooting 35% from three this season so it’s not unlikely that he makes 1-3 threes.

This weekend it’s all about my UNI panthers.

As someone on the Bears board said, I'll root for UNI and hate every minute of it.

God, anyone but the Bears! Please!

That's the one team that SIU hasn't really played with this season. Therefore, I'm all in for a UNI regular season title!

Good luck to all our MVC fans and foes. Your jealousy is palpable but I hope the conference does well this year and for years to come!

Indeed! The A10 Tournament may not have bigger crowds but I hear the caviar eggs they serve there effortlessly separate when rolled on the roof of your mouth!

Fact check? (On the attendance, not the caviar...I'll let you know about that next year)

Looking at box scores, seems like they are pretty similar:

2018 Arch semis/final: 8,415/8,056
2018 A-10 semis/final: 8,756/7,643

2019 Arch semis/final: 7,884/8,108
2019 A-10 semis/final: 8,133/8,371

I think 2020 would have set attendance records for the A-10 with their biggest fanbase, Dayton, being ranked #2 or #3 in the country going into the tourney.

Loyola sucks
