Jerry Palm of CBS Sports unveiled his first attempt at predicting the 2013 Men's NCAA Tournament field, which I attempted to copy and paste below for your viewing pleasure and enjoyment but experienced formatting issues. If you are too lazy to click on the link above, the Hoyas are currently a 5 seed and slated to play the winner of a play-in game between Iowa State and North Carolina in Austin, Texas.

The 5-seed seems about right for the Hoyas at this point, who are ranked 15th in the country and currently sit as #18 on Joe Lunardi's S-Curve.

S-Curve (11-20, AQs in CAPS): 11-Cincy, 12-Mizzou, 13-Illinois, 14-GONZAGA, 15-CREIGHTON, 16-UNLV, 17-MichSt, 18-Gtown, 19-VCU, 10-Butler.
