Committee clearly not valuing Quad 1 wins as everyone was certain they would. Also seems to be en emphasis on conference ranking which everyone said they didn’t do. UNC an 8, Miami a 9, Creighton a 9, Marquette a 9. St. Mary’s a 5, Colorado State a 6. San Francisco 10. Unreal.

Edit: Alabama and LSU as six seeds is insane. Bama beat Gonzaga so I’m sure the committee jizzed in their pants over that. But LSU? Don’t get it.

Holy Cow Baylor gets some favorable seeding going to Ft. Worth to bad the same 6,000 fans are all that will show up. Texas goes to Milwaukee along with ISU.

That's not surprising. They try and place the 1 seeds as close to home as possible.

Actually like the way it worked out. 11/6 always has action, in Milwaukee, etc. Annnnnnnnd we aren’t the first game on Thursday.

Thank God!

 

[twincyties]

East region weak as f**k.

 

[isufbcurt]

San Francisco seeded above us, come on committee. Do better.

yep. Not sure why there was so much emphasis on Quad 1 wins. It appears they don’t really matter. Nobody had us at 11 except for Lunardi.

 

[Goclones1727]

Any idea roughly when game time is announced?

 

[Hoggins]

11 seed in Milwaukee on Friday. You could not ask for much more. I’ll take it!

 

[ISUTex]

LSU should give us a good time slot. 8:30 start is late for me.

I just hope it's a night game.

 

[Pope]

Making the big dance after a 2 win season is unbelievable. Way to go TJ and company!!

 

[cyclo120]

Cant see how San Francisco possibly has a better resume

 

[cyclones500]

It wouldn't be shocking if Pollard worked his magic and pushed us to an 11 to get us closer to home

Anyone with connection w/ a specific program cannot be part of discussion.

 

[JP4CY]

Kentucky should sleep walk to S16.

 

[cycloneworld]

Lol, San Fran a 10 and ISU an 11. This committee bungled a lot of seeds.

But, hey, I much prefer our draw.

Later tonight.

 

[jctisu]

Be thankful folks. That 10 seed against Murray State and having Kentucky as the 2 seed is likely where we would have been if not for bracketing rules/given a 10. San Francisco has ZERO business being a higher seed than us but thankfully they are.

 

[ISUTex]

2 wins to an at large bid. Very successful season IMO.

 

[jdoggivjc]

OU got hosed

Better them than us.

 

[CydeofFries]

Oof as much as I like our draw, that Murray State draw that San Fran got I would have loved

I agree we have a much better resume, but we could have easily been bumped down due to seeding issues.
