Bucknell ended up as a 12 seed, playing Florida State in Charlotte.

What is your prediction ? Was that a fair seed ?

Doubt Bucknell will win. But they could hang around. They have played tougher teams than Florida State this year - and in much more hostile environments. I think the seed was reasonable. They could have been an 11 but 12 is not bad. The killer would have been to get an undeserved 13 - which would have led to them playing a 4 seed in the first round on the 4 seed's home court.

Did Bucknell beat any of those teams tougher than Fla. State this year ?

Did Bucknell beat any of those teams tougher than Fla. State this year ? No, but they did play #10 RPI Syracuse close on the road. Trailed by one at the end of the third quarter and stayed close until the last six minutes. Their best win was a blowout over #40 Quinnipiac, who ended up 26-6. Q'pac got an 11 seed despite having a worse record and a worse RPI than Bucknell. They no doubt got credit from the committee for their strong play of the previous two years. Last year, you may recall, they easily beat Miami in the first round of the tournament and the previous year they beat both Marquette and Miami.
