I'm curious also. Usually we have to wade through their thoughts on every subject, so I imagine someone will be along shortly...
I think because Houston will be south and they won't match us up with them in the same region as a 2.
We're honestly ahead of UNC in just about every metric except for the one the ACC (and espn as their mouthpiece) have been making a ton of noise about once they realized their garbage conference schedules would hurt them.
Is there a hard and fast rule against it? I always thought it was one round for each time you played in the regular season, so am elite 8 matchup would still be on the table. I could certainly be wrong.
No, and a team going into the tourney with a loss shouldn't go in over one with a win. It's ludicrous not to use a game played this week in the metrics. Gives you the best look at how the teams are playing in the present and not 3 months ago.
I like the way KU gamed the system. Play big name teams from weak conferences in the preseason. Then lay a huge turd in the conference when playing good teams. Everybody says "Hey they played so and so" early - and it get ingrained in peoples' heads that they're good.
Only half (well, maybe 10%) kidding.
It’s because Houston is the assumed 1 in the south and the first 3 teams selected from a conference can’t be in the same region.
There are 2 rules in this case. 1.) top 3 Big XII selections will all be separated. 2.) seeds 1-4 won’t have the same conference in any grouping.
I think I'm done with this thread with the sheer amount of posters that come in with zero clue how the process works.
WHAT WE KNOW FOR SURE:
-Iowa State will be playing in Omaha the first and (hopefully) second rounds
-If ISU gets a 1 seed, we will be in the West region (unless we somehow jump UConn, Purdue, or Houston which won't happen)
-Assuming the committee is dumb and lazy and gives UNC the last 1 seed, we are in a battle with Tennessee and Marquette for the top of the 2 seeds.
-If we are the best 2 seed in the eyes of the committee, we will be in the Midwest region.
-If are not the best 2 seed, we will either be in the East or West region due to Houston being the #1 seed in the South and we can't be in their region.
-We (or at least I) do not want to be the East region with UConn. Anything else and I think we have a very realistic shot at a Final Four.
-NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WE WILL BE PLAYING IN OMAHA ROUNDS 1 AND 2

UConn doesn't want to be in a region with us.
Say it louder for the dopes in the back.
I don't post in a lot of threads for this exact reason. Not knowing **** is fine but straight up ignoring info consistently or assuming everybody's as clueless as you is ******* annoying.
Won't matter, they're on Twitter getting all the wrong info.
