Yes. That should be one of the goals. Obviously win every game. Win by double digits, grab boards, make our free throws, and play tough defense. That affects our seeding as we continue to win.

I understand your point. I think those saying the one UTEP margin won't change much aren't wrong. Collectively though, the way we win every game could in theory have an impact.

I forgot to say this, but I HIGHLY doubt Mac and the team care or are worrying about what seed they’ll be. Winning the championship, Making the tournament, winning the tournament and advancing is the goal, not if we are the 13 seed or 12 seed.

Id love to see us be a 12 or 11, but as long as we make it and win, I’m okay with whatever that comes with the national media attention.

I think Mac does honestly. He’s one of those guys who will say “we can’t worry about that kind of stuff” but at the same time can name you every team that’s close to us on the seed line, and is keeping tabs on them. He is very plugged in while keeping the mentality of controlling what you can control.

I think he does as well. Everybody does. Of course the most important thing is to make it in the tourney but I think Mac and even the players would like to see their hard work recognized by a better seed.

Mac is also a voter in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Now that I think of it, possibly. I know he's a voter on the coaches poll so that could say something
