i will be shocked if ISU and Nebraska aren't 2 and 3 and in #1 overall seed Duke's region.

Sign me up.

UNI is going to be a problem for whomever they draw. assuming they will be 13 or 14 seed and hopefully not ISUs problem.

they are ready for the moment and surging at the right time.

If UNI wins, I think it is very likely that the Committee will have #03 seed ISU play #14 seed UNI in the STL. They are sneaky that way!

@madguy30
I didn't say that I would like it!
Let's Go Flames!

 

[ClonerJams]

What would UNI be seeded? 12 would be my guess, maybe 13

i dont know. that would require them to both underseed UNI and overseed ISU.

13 or 14

Why would ISU be overseeded as a 3?

 

[madguy30]

Yeah I can see that happening.

Personally, no 'close to home' types as potential early matchups.

That takes out Bucky, Nebby, Iowa and UNI.

No thanks to those kinds of optics.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Could be. Could be a 14 too. They are from a one and done league and the #5 seed from the MVC at that. There is definitely wiggle room for the Committee.

because they should be a 2

*i stated that wrong. underseeded

Bracket matrix has them in the 13 seed range.

It would definitely figure that we'd get sent to play UNI in an arena they just spent a week playing in.

they already ****** ISU with the looming drake matchup and putting ISU as a 2 in UConn's Boston region. that should be like a once a decade *******.

 

[FerShizzle]

anyway... good for UNI. thank god Fran has been stopped from stealing all their recruits.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Uni is playing well.

You have to look at the other conferences. The current 14 lines on bracket matrix are all teams sub 110 in metrics. UNI is in the 70s.

IMO, they are closer to a 12 than 14. 13 seems about right.

UNI vs Purdue seems right lol

i"m predicting 13 UNI vs 4 Texas Tech

 

[Dork Diggler]

Could go for a Gary Rima “I love this team” right now.

Bruce Pearl sucks.
