Imagine having all of these different metric tools at your disposal and you push your chips all in because of a couple games in November while ignoring the total body of work.
Most teams haven't even established their identity before conference play. Basing seeding on who was on the schedule in November is silly.
I don't get the love for Illinois. There are 10 teams in the Big 12 with a better defensive rating than them.
Of the 7 seeds, the only team I'd prefer to see than wsu is Dayton (b/c we can't play tex@ss).
Of the 3 seeds, I'd choose Illinois over the other options.
Uconn for final 4 sucks, but all of the elite 8 teams are going to be tough.
It's just gotta be "one game at a time"... And avoiding frosted tips.
I'd be pissed if I were uconn... on paper their region is stacked.

It’s March madness. Pretty sure every team will go into every game with the same motivation.
No one feared Drake in football a few years ago as well.
If they get past their first round game, and so does ISU.............Drake has a shooters chance. They may not be BYU......but if they are hitting it will make ISU fans a bit more nervous than they would like.
Weirder things have happened in the tourney.
We play Thursday at 630, and then given we win, play on Saturday right?
It seems that they just didn’t use conference strength at all. ACC, Big 10, Big 12, it’s all the same.
Because it’s all BS. It’s the magician waving his hands and telling you to look over there while they move the pea to the other cup.
Tru TV. This is the only time of the year where I wish I had cable. Could pay for Max with ads. Either that or I watch it out at a bar. Wonder if there are enough Clevelander Cyclone fans for a game watch. At least I don't have to skip out on work.
Correct. We win on Thursday, next session is Saturday (they will do a new round of assigning TV times based on how the Thursday games play out).
It's a horrible precedent, the idea that a fake in November counts as much just shows how little basketball people are involved here.
Anybody watch the women's bracket reveal? They interviewed the chairwoman of that committee and the first question was why Texas over Stanford for the last #1 seed. Her answer was basically that Texas faced 3 straight tournament teams in their conference tournament and won impressively, so it was really about how well they were playing lately...
My 8-year-old and I looked at each other and just laughed.
