Looking like a 13 seed.

While you can't draw #tigerblood, who will Princeton draw in the 2011 NCAA Tournament? I've been purposely avoiding bracket projections this season, but now that the Tigers are in I've got no choice! An assortment of projections - some including venue and opponent - can be found after the jump.

Take all of these prognostications with a grain of salt but it should give you a decent idea of the 6-8 teams Princeton stands a solid chance of playing.

The Tigers currently have a RPI of 40 and are 2-2 versus the RPI top 50, 4-4 versus the RPI top 100.

The Hoops Report - 13 seed vs. Syracuse

Other four seeds: BYU, West Virginia, Purdue

Sports Illustrated - 13 seed vs. Kentucky in Denver, CO

Other four seeds: BYU, Wisconsin, Louisville

ESPN - 13 seed vs. Syracuse in Washington, DC

Other four seeds: BYU, Wisconsin, Louisville

Bracketography - 13 seed vs. Kentucky in Washington, DC

Other four seeds: Purdue, Wisconsin, Louisville

CBS Sports - 13 seed vs. Louisville in Tucson, AZ

Other four seeds: BYU, Kentucky, North Carolina

NBC Sports - 13 seed vs. Purdue in Tucson, AZ

Other four seeds: BYU, Kentucky, Wisconsin

Bracketology 101 - 13 seed vs. UConn in Washington, DC

Other four seeds: BYU, Wisconsin, Purdue

College Hoops Net - 13 seed

Four seeds: Connecticut, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Purdue

Jeff Goodman - 13 seed

Four seeds: BYU, Purdue, Wisconsin, Louisville

The Bracket Project looks at 87 (!) different brackets, updated last anywhere between March 6th and today.

69 of these tables have the Tigers as a 13, 12 have Princeton a 12 seed, two have Princeton a 14 seed and a 10 seed, one 11 seed, nine seed.

We'll know who is right in just over three hours!

1) How many of these have Harvard anywhere besides "next four out"?

2) Jimmer Fredette vs. Kareem Maddox. Could BYU's top weapon be neutralized to where this is a winnable game? (And: Honor Code vs. Honor Code, discuss amongst yourselves)

3) Is this the year we have a chance to beat Syracuse's zone with the unique talents of Maddox, Hummer and Davis?

Answered my own Q via the Bracket Project site: Harvard in 2 of 87. But these appear to be the work of amateur bracketologists.

@ Stuart Schulman

BYU's Honor Code applies to many areas of student life, while Princeton's is limited to academic work.

Pretty sure that most Princetonians prefer it that way!
