How do you like UNI'S?

I can't speak for 1UNI2ISU, but as the other proud dual fan I personally would have liked to be matched up against any of the other 5 seeds instead of St. John's. They probably could be a 4 or even a 3 seed.

But that's why you play the game...

 

[Marcelason78]

Anybody have the screen shot where they ranked the regions? Midwest was a 37?

 

[Iastfan112]

Jay Bilas just said Iowa State is the best team in the region.

I like the vote of confidence but I just don't know how you can say that with what Michigan has done this season.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Bilas and Jay very high on ISU in MW

I mean, they did just watch us stomp ASU and TT defensively, and force AZ to beat us on a buzzer beater in what was one of the best final 3 minutes anyone had seen in a long time.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Iowa got the last 9 seed it looks like... only 5 spots from not making the tourney and being in the play-in game.

First Four is officially part of the tournament. The games count as official tournament games.

 

[JP4CY]

Hello brown dress.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Lol at Bruce Pearl. What a joke of an analyst

 

[isufbcurt]

My question would be, why in the h### did we not get a 1 seed two years ago after DESTROYING Houston in the Conference Tourney and beating them 2 out of 3 times during the season?!

Different Committee members, different people view things differently

 

[1UNI2ISU]

How do you like UNI'S?

Absolutely hate it. It was the one I dreaded getting.

Just going to enjoy the week on that side.

 

[12191987]

Nebraska, I'm looking at you Hoiberg. You're on upset alert!

Is it even theoretically possible for Nebraska to be upset in an NCAA tournament game?

 

[madguy30]

They're talking about the historic number of bids amongst the Big 4 conferences like thrm all being mega conferences isn't why.

 

[jsb]

Wow - Bilas thinks we're the best team in the Midwest

Bliss did our three games this week. Hard not to think that if you watched us this week.

 

[CycloneVet]

Can I say Im glad Arizona hit that shot at the buzzer? Extra rest. We weren't going to be a 1. Got our St Louis landing

Completely worked out, get Tamin rest

 

[CycloneVet]

Michigan is the #1 I wanted. They are really good, don’t get me wrong, I just don’t like some of the matchups with the other contenders.

Yea they could get beat on the way there

 

[danvillecyclone]

True....tickets will be pricey I imagine.

Friday Sunday all games.

You and Michigan, the path is very enviable. Shouldn’t have an issue till the elite 8.

Ok Fran.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Ah damn I was hoping for more of a mistake. In my defense why call one UCF and one South Florida

UCF prefers to be called UCF and not Central Florida (confident in that), and perhaps South Florida likes being called South Florida instead of USF (not as confident in that).

I think Tennessee upsets Virginia and Alabama upsets Michigan. Four teams left in that region in Chicago will be Michigan, Iowa State, Alabama, Tennessee. ISU vs Alabama for FF.

 

[CyGuy5]

UCF prefers to be called UCF and not Central Florida (confident in that), and perhaps South Florida likes being called South Florida instead of USF (not as confident in that).

Just simplify them both to directional Florida and call it good
