confirmed, A&M #13 overall. Iowa State was 10!!! Kentucky 11, Wisconsin 12
Do you think ISU dealing with injuries to multiple starters during the year and now finally being healthy helped get them the 3 seed?
Yes. One of the committee members mentioned they look at injuries

Great job by the SEC schools in non-conference scheduling.
Reminder that Texas non conference SOS was #285 and their best win was over Saint Joseph's who was 5th in the Atlantic 10.

To bad someone couldn't hit the committee head with a truth dart right when he was asked the question about conflict of interest. "Well Seth you see I wanted to stay AD at Carolina soooo....."

Why do you think we were all wrong about Texas??

As in football they're receiving undue credit for beating (a shell of) the defending champs SMH

Iowa State isn't healthy right now though...A&M on the other hand i think 5 of our losses are with a starter that was out. And now we are healthy

Different standards for different teams

Interesting note in bracket strength:

South - 31
West - 36
East - 36
Midwest - 33

South by far the toughest bracket.

Yale the top seeded 13th seed. Because of course.

Looks like Yale pulling off the upset is going to be a popular pick, by the pundits.
Does this make the BAS contingent happy because it confirms their negativity, or just fuel their conspiracy theories that the world is against us?

Tech - 9
Iowa State - 10
Kentucky - 11
Wisconsin - 12
A&M - 13

That win against MSU pushed them up above us.

As the top 4 why do we get the top 13?

We should get the worst 13

If the pundits all unanimously pick Yale then Id expect to win by 25

Region stuff and not being able to play certain teams messes that all up.

bracketing principles dictate what pod teams go to and it isnt a snake....

bracketing principles would mean that Yale, the top seeded 13 should go to the closest geographic site....which of course would have been Providence to go play Purdue....but Yale already played Purdue earlier this year, so they get the next closest which is Denver and us.

South not only has the top #1 seed and top #4 seed. But also the top 5 seed, 8 seed, top 9 seed, top 12 and top 13 seed too.

Probably just a coincidence that everyone in our portion of the bracket is the absolute hardest it could be....

Here's the thing with the FIRE EVERYONE contingent.

Is Indiana IN, if they don't give up on the future?

Did they need to announce that, while they were still working it?

Questions that need to be asked.

Well I'm a bit disappointed but I can't imagine how livid I would be as a West Virginia fan. I don't think I saw a single bracket that even had them as a last 4 in.

And for the crowd using this as a I told you so, we were almost a 5 seed. No…. You are wrong. We were 1 spot away from a #3 seed and matching our highest seed ever in program history. Michigan State beats Wisconsin and we are a 3.

Yes 14 SEC teams, but 3 possible second round match-ups…

Florida vs OU
Bama vs Vandy
Kentucky vs tu

Did they "relax" any of their selection/seeding principles to make that happen?

Wisc drew a brutal draw, BYU is tough, we would not match up well with them

Had to, you can't have 14 teams in and prevent it

No. 76 in the Net though, so not as terrible as their conference finish would imply. LSU finished No. 89, so better than one of Texas' SEC wins.

At the end of the day it was Texas' wins over A&M (2) Kentucky, Mizzou, OU, Vandy, and Miss. State -all teams dancing - that likely did the trick.

That is only considering the top 4 seed lines. The disparity is way worse when considering the entire region.

They don't do that though right? Only the top four teams are considered for balancing the strength of the regions?

When your best ooc win is #76 that's pathetic. We got ripped in years when we beat multiple top 50 teams.

Sure Texas beat some tourney teams…
West Virginia beat:
Gonzaga, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa State

And in addition to their quad 1 wins (6) they went 4-3 in quad 2. Texas was 2-5. It's inexcusable negligence.

If you want to put Texas or unc in over Indiana, Xavier or San Diego state that's fine. But no one had West Virginia even in Dayton.
