Add in the fact that, based on history, there is 100% chance of the 16th seed not making it past the true first round.
I would like to see all the play-in games be played for the right to become the 12th seed.
Lunardi has ISU in play in game.....

Agree. Like I posted earlier, I prefer one way or the other, but using "opening round" to determine at-large teams is more fair, because those extra 4 were added to make room for additional at-large teams. If the extras were truly added to give those final bubble teams a chance to get into the 64-team field by proving it on the court, well, there it is.
We were the first 2 seed to lose to a 15 seed... why couldn't we be the first 16 seed to beat a 1 seed?
i agree with the people who beleive ISU is an in or out team..I don't see ISU as a play-in ...ISU will get in the tournament based on one big win..or not be invited if that one big win doesn't happen...the weak non-conference is a lodestone...
No, we're not the first 2 seed to lose to a 15, I believe it has happened at least 4 times, the one previous being #15 Santa Clara beating #2 Arizona. We're just the latest victim, which is why it's fresh on everyone's mind. It's why I root for a #15 to take down a #2, or even better yet, a #16 to take down a #1, every year.
In fact, it has actually happened 4 times:
1991: Richmond over Syracuse
1993: Santa Clara over Arizona
1997: Coppin St over South Carolina
2001: Hampton over Iowa St
