Wichita State getting hammered

[Codaxx]

Hey, you went undefeated. Congrats. You get Kentucky, Louisville, and Duke. That is brutal and I did not even mention Michigan

No doubt this is the toughest region. I like Louisville to win it all.

Not sure. That bracket is brutal. Uk maybe the most talented ream in the country. Quietly the Harrison twins have turned it around. Kentucky is playing really good ball. Hard to explain how Louisville is a 4 seed

Its impossible to explain how Kentucky is just an 8 seed

Louisville is a 4 seed because their resume cant match up to the 3, 2 and 1 seeds.

The committee must have not thought very highly of the SEC with Kentucky an 8 seed (with 15 RPI) and Tennessee playing in the play-in game. I thought Kentucky would be more like a 6 seed.

I had KState as a sleeper team, too. Thats not an easy draw as a 9 seed

Yep. I think Louisville has been playing really well lately but they still were only in the 20s in RPI before their win last night. They just don't have a great SOS and have something like 16 wins vs RPI 150+

Oddly, based on BPI Michigan is the most overrated seed in the entire tourney. Lots of numbers out there, but I have a hard time believing Louisville isnt top 12. Take them over Nova.

I really like K state too.

Most figured they would be a 3 seed. For the ones thinking they were a 1 seed were just wacko homers. But 4 seed is a surprise, but there resume got them it.

They look good right now....but if you consider the competition, THAT is why they ended up a 4 seed.

I agree; this is the toughest region and Wichita St. will not get past that bunch....actually Kentucky has a great chance to beat them in the round of 32. If not Kentucky then Louisville. As I see it, Wichita St. is overrated and Kentucky is underrated and with a chance to knock off a NR1, Kentucky will be fired up to play well as they are a better team today than last month.

I love this. This is a challenge to Wichita by the committee.

A few things to keep in mind regarding the seeding... sometimes, they'll move teams, up (not often) or down (more likely) in order to place them in a game closer to home.

Also worth noting that the committee has said that the late games on Sunday generally don't effect seeding, which probably hurt UK. (despite the loss)

As far as specifics, UK at an 8 is underseeded, but not egregiously so. Same with Louisville.

I never understood people complaining about seeding before the tournament even starts. Just play the teams in front of you. If you're a Champion, you'll win. If not, you're tied with everyone else for Not Champion. If you didn't really think you were a Championship team to start with, then you have nothing to complain about.

Last part is absolutely a fact! Play on and win!

I don't think that will happen. I think they will easily advance past the winner of CA Poly v. TX Southern. Getting out of the second round, where they will face the winner KY v. KS State, could be much more difficult.
