How often is a 5 seed the conference tournament champ of the #1 RPI conference and second in regular season of the #1 RPI conference? Not very often.
When you take a step back it's fricking ridiculous that we had the same seed as Minnesota. Not so much that we should be higher, but WTF did they do to earn a 5 seed? They had zero wins vs top 25, they hardly even played anyone in top 25. In computer metrics they're more of a 7 or 8.
Past that- they were ahead of us on the overall seed list.
