So kind of tells you Wisconsin and Maryland results today don't matter.
Given where ISU was sent last year, they probably don't look at Friday results either
I concur, but have zero faith in the committee being guided by anything approaching principles.
No, updated yesterday, the matrix says when its updatedupdated since the Wisconsin win? Highly doubt that. but yes they suck
I wouldn't worry too much about it. We suffered a lot of injuries this year. "Incredibly disappointing" seems a bit harsh given all our injuries. We still got a 4 seed for ***** sake. Put yourself in the shoes after the final Steve Prohm year or McDermott. Got to beat good teams regardless if you're a three or a four seed. The tournament is a crapshoot and let's hope it's our time finally for the really deep run. We all know this team has the ability to do it.
Right. So when they all update again we aren’t gonna be a 3 in as many. Wisconsin’s win will bump them up on a lot.
Keys to March imo:
1. Play well.
2. Matchups.
3. Luck
ISU hasn't had #3 going for it but has had #1 the last two weeks or so even with guys out and banged up.
I assume it's all mostly done. Not the seeding, but the full seed line, 1-68. Where changes could come is if 2 teams are so close, 1 more game could affect it. If it's a 9-10 swap, no one notices. If it's a 12-13, everyone will lose their ****.I still believe most seeding is done by Friday or Saturday morning.
After reading this, it seems to be a lengthy process. And also kind of gives an insight why tournaments don't have to much weight. Once you get the framework set up it's pretty hard to plug things in as ripple effect would be pretty big. They have to build the brackets after creating a seed list.

There will likely be a few surprises I think. Wild predictions:
St. John's will be a 3 or 4 seed.
Iowa State will be ahead of Texas Tech
Texas A&M the last 2 seed
Kentucky a 4 seed
Arizona a 3 seed
They also have an SEC problem they are going to have to try and avoid match ups with so many teams. There will be at minimum 3 SEC teams in each region and possibly 4.
rules are
Teams from the same conference shall not meet prior to the regional semifinals if they played each other twice during the regular season and conference tournament.
Teams from the same conference may play each other as early as the second round if they played no more than once during the regular season and conference tournament.
Wisconsin is playing better basketball than we are right now. Facts.
The committee will give weight to whatever justifies what the committee wants to do.
The last week, sure.
Getting cooked at home by PSU to end the season evens things out a bit.
And they have a generally full roster or at least their stars fully healthy.
Ehhh... last Saturday they lost to a terrible penn st team at home.

We haven't got any seed yet - and the last people I'd listen to is Palm or Lunardi as to whether the 3-seed is a lost cause for us.
