I would think so. LSU only has two losses one on the road to the Big East Champion and the SEC tournament champion. Tennessee has just too many quality wins and a conference tournament title. I think we'll see this matchup again before the season is over. If Tennessee is a #2 seed, then I would hate to be the #1 seed having to play them in Chattanooga, which is where they'll be.
Congrats to Tennessee on the SEC tournament title.

I'd say so. I would be hard-pressed to have one be a #1, and not the other. All I know is that this will be one of the more wide-open tournaments in recent memory.
Congratulations to the Lady Vols on the SEC Championship!!

I'll make a fearless prediction that the winner of the BEast will be a #1 seed, because of the conference's track record in the tournament in recent years. That means our #1 seeds could include maybe Rutgers, ND or even UConn. Just a hunch.
If I was handing out #1 seeds- today- they would be UT, Stanford, Duke and LSU. I know that leaves the B10 and B12 out in the cold, but none of the B10 teams I have seen this weekend played as well as UT or LSU or UNC, and, although I haven't seen the B12 teams recently, my impression based on what I have seen is that the best- Texas, TTU, Baylor, KSU- are not FF teams. I'm not convinced that UNC's ability to "pull it out" is going to work against the elite teams, especially when they hafta play one and then another two days later.

UConn, with 7 losses, is out of the picture no matter what happens in the BEast tournament. Villanova is still on the tournament bubble, let alone getting a #1 seed.

Tennessee are both locks to be #1 seeds.
If Michigan State wins tonight, they get a #1. They have a top-5 RPI, and if they win tonight, will have a 28-3 record, a 12-game winning streak, 8 RPI-top 25 wins, and 12 RPI-top 50 wins. That's #1 seed material to me.
If Duke wins tonight, they get a #1 seed. If North Carolina makes it 3-for-3 against Duke this season, they too would have a case, but their horribly weak non-conference schedule might hurt them.
Given that, Stanford's only chance for a #1 seed, IMO, is to beat Arizona State tonight in the Pac-10 final and hope that Michigan State loses to Minnesota. While Stanford's won-loss record would be better than Michigan State's, they'd have only 5 RPI-top 25 wins, a lower RPI, and a SOS ranking 25 spots lower than the Spartans.
