So, we are 10 in the NET, 9 in KenPom, 18 in AP and Coaches' Polls and now we have a SI 3rd team All America! How in the world are we not a 6 or 7 seed? The Committee is gonna be under pressure if they give us a 8, 9, 10, or 11 seed this year.
Interesting fact about SI All America teams, the only two players who are not in a true P5 conference (I exclude Gonzaga because they do have a nationally recognized program) are Cam and the kid from Houston. Houston's conference is not a power conference but they seem to get treated like one with Houston being ranked in the top 10. So, how good does a kid like Cam have to be to be considered for and to make it onto SI's 3rd team All America? We know basketball is not an individual sport and it requires other players around any individual for the team to succeed. The supporting cast thus has to be pretty darn good for Cam to receive this honor. If we were a .500 team and did not win Arch Madness, he doesn't receive this award.
Just some more evidence and an additional argument for LU to receive a better seed.
