I figured Alabama would be in our Tech, although I think it's the right call (Toppin out is going to hurt, but as of right now...)
Add in Texas Tech as 4 and thats damn near perfect draw given the Toppin news.
Literally perfect! A 2 and 3 seed we'd match up great with and a 4 seed down their All American. I have to think Tech will drop out of the top 16 but who knows. Their schedule is somewhat favorable to end the year.
If these hold true they did Michigan dirty.
It sounds like they had Mich St in that region to start as well, but had to swap them to make them more balanced.
Definitely the most challenging region.
The true-seed total matches that (it's 32, the others are 33, 34, 37)
I’ll play devil’s advocate a bit and say of the four listed today I would rather play Purdue than Nebraska. weird juju with the Hoiberg angle, and they can lock you down. Illinois far and away the worst matchup (since you wouldn’t play Houston)
Agree on all points.
Being in Illinois’ or Florida’s region would be equally concerning.
As an alum living in Houston, it's not nearly as big here as DFW or Austin for Cylones in TX. but a few hours driving distance is nothing to see them play a regional final.
The most Cyclone stuff ever would be we get a 1 seed for the first time in program history and they put Houston as the 2 seed in our region in the Houston (South) regional.
That would be right up there with the Michigan State, Auburn Hills BS.
Agreed. The only thing I have confidence is Florida will have a nice jump. It's a determination of who had the least bad losses:
Houston- 2 losses were both to top teams, don't see dropping too far
UConn- vs Creighton deserves dropping a few
ISU- @ BYU was close to toss up
Purdue - vs Michigan should hold
Kansas- vs Cinci deserves dropping multiple
Nebraska - @ Iowa close to toss up
Illinois - @UCLA maybe drop 1
Gonzaga- beat nobody but didn't lose
Florida - beat nobody, should move up multiple
I said this in another thread, but there a good chance Iowa State moves up in the rankings Monday.
