#7 in Bracket Matrix
The Bracket Project's 2009 Matrix is a great tool to find out exactly where 60 (!) different mock brackets have us projected in the tournament. Half of me is pumped that I get to look through 60 different brackets, while the other half of me wants to squirrel away food and water because surely the apocalypse must be upon us.
Right now, we're a #7, which sounds about right. Personally, I think we're better than that, but with a lack of marquee wins and that ugly loss to Cincinnati (especially after they go and give up at USF), it's tough to justify much more than that. Though, that could all change this Saturday, as a win against Louisville would be a completely game-changer for us. Win that and one in the tournament and you're looking more at a #5.

7 seed is fine with me.
I would love to be a seven seed this year. Somewhat easy mid-major crop to choose from for a first round game and a group of two seeds that is likely to contain Memphis, Duke, Michigan State, Kansas, Wake Forest, Washington or even Villanova.
Another run into the Sweet Sixteen would be great for our young group of players.
History Lesson
The last 3 times WVU has been a 7 seed, we have advanced to the Sweet 16:
2008 – Beat Arizona and Duke
2005 – Beat Creighton and Wake Forest (and Texas Tech)
1998 – Beat Temple and Cincinnati
Scratch that last one, we were a 10 seed. Same diff.
