    Yeah, I would imagine UConn fans aren’t happy. As I said in my previous post, in the committee’s attempts to punish ISU as much as they could get away with they also screwed over the overall #1 seed in the process. I don’t make a habit of feeling bad for UConn fans, but they got absolutely hosed...

    Final thoughts on nonconference schedule and then I’m moving on from it: It’s a great metric to measure really good mid-major teams like Gonzaga, St. Mary’s, and MVC teams a lot of years because their conferences are so weak in general that front-loading their nonconference schedules is the...

    They'll regret those snickers.

    I will say this - it's not going to be difficult for Otz to light a fire under ISU's ass in practice this week. This is going to be a team seeking blood in Omaha.

    Iowa St was never even considered.

    Not exactly my point. Drake and SDSU are already well enough aware of ISU and aren't going to be quite as shellshocked as other 7s, 10s, and 15s would be.

    Izzo's not making it out of the first round.

    You know, call this a hot take - that is NOT an easy bracket UNC has to face.

    No. We're upset about the disrespect of having to play Drake in Omaha when they could have sent someone way out of region there.

    As has been said in other threads, you don't have as much control of your nonconference schedule as is implied. those holiday tournaments are scheduled years in advance and you never know what a team is going to be when it's actually played. The Big 12 and Big East assigned us that DePaul game -...

    Historically speaking Montana St/Grambling can beat Purdue.

    Yeah, it's not that I'm scared of SDSU, WSU, or Drake - I'm not. But it doesn't make it any less of a slap in the face by the committee.

    We finally get a region like Omaha and we have to share it with SDSU and Drake. I mean, sure - we'll have more fans at those games, but way to sweep us back onto our feet there.

    Not sure why I was expecting anything else. About as "nut cup" as it gets without actually being a nut cup.

    Wow - they're NOT announcing all the 1s at the top of the show. Surprised.

    We'll know like right off the top of the show whether we're a 1 or a 2 because they always announce the 1s first. If we're a 1, we automatically know we're in the West, and playing Omaha/Los Angeles. If we're a 2, then the only bracket we can't be in is the South, where Houston is the 1, so then...

    (sigh of relief) ISU and UNC have identical Q3 records.

    What universe are we living in where Palm has us as a 1-seed and Seth Davis is defending that prediction?

    To me it's not so much that UNC lost to an NCST team that had to win 5 games just to qualify for the Tournament - it's when you combine it with what we did to Houston and the fact that the resumes are comparable, if not slightly in favor of ISU, that putting UNC on the 1 line is because of the...
