Players and coaches lie all the time when they say they don't look at the scores/standings, or care about who they play in the tournament, but as fans we can do what we want.

With our win over ECU today, we have clinched no lower than the #7 seed. There are still three teams ahead of us currently that we could finish ahead of (Memphis - we own head-to-head, UAB - they win head-to-head, SMU - split season series), but we do not play any of them in our last two games. Here's what all three of those teams have left:

Memphis: 3/9 at FAU
UAB: 3/7 at Temple, 3/10 vs. SMU
SMU: 3/6 vs. ECU, 3/10 at UAB

There could be a great shot that three or four teams tie with 11 conference wins. At that point, I'm not sure what the tiebreaker is.

If you haven't seen it yet, here's what the conference tournament schedule would be with the seeding. Like I've talked about for a month now, the 6 or 7 seed would be better for game times to maximize homecourt advantage. #6 could likely avoid FAU until the semifinal.

If I got choose, I’d take the #6 seed.  That’s assuming we don’t get the #4 seed.

I'd prefer not playing FAU as late as possible.  Even should we beat them on Wednesday, they're the team I least want to play in the tourney - even over USF.  Once the regular season is over and March Madness really begins, I feel like they'll flip the switch.  We all saw what they are capable of last year.
