First seeding released. Guess who is a #1?

It must have been physical agony for ESPN to publish that article, considering we got mentioned later and not with Michigan, Duke, and Arizona.
At least CBS had the integrity to include us with the other #1s when they revealed the top 16 seeds

Might not be so bad to fall to the top #2 rather than the fourth #1, but I'll allow.
It depends how you feel about Michigan. It feels likely if we are a 2 seed we will be in the Midwest and Michigans bracket. They have felt the most consistently impressive all year.

Unless something starts to shake differently, I agree with this take. The height of Michigan could be troublesome. The only team to beat them was Wisconsin and they do have some length as well.
Holy motherforking shirtballs
Edit: also this is straight rat poison released on the same day as a tough @BYU game.

I mean, sure, they didn't include it, but are we going to ring them up on every single omission when everything else they said was at the very least fair?
Why would ESPN care about Michigan? The only time Michigan appears on that network is when they play a Big 12 or ACC team on the road.
Surprised that St. Johns didn't make top 16. No Big East teams. That's going to leave a scar unless they pop some bubbles in the tourney.
Edit: UCONN, DUH!

Because ESPN slobbers all over the Big 10 even if they don't own their media rights. Just watch any ESPN during the college football season - while they prioritize the SEC, if it's not the Big 10, Notre Dame, and Duke, UNC, UConn, and KU in basketball, they don't ccare.
The South region would not be a bad path for ISU if they take the Oklahoma City to Houston path. Due to the unfortunate injury to JT Toppin, Tech will be beatable. And an Elite Eight matchup vs UConn in Houston would essentially be a Cyclone home game.
It's more likely going to be a St. Louis to Houston path if we end up a #1.
Have you noticed how bad the major sports websites are? They bury our scores when showing the ranked teams on the top ticker, and you have to go searching for standings, as they are not all alphabetical (looking at you, Yahoo Sports).
Nah, I'll take a 1 over anything with the haunting 2000 2 seed.
