Stanford v. Cornell - prestigous academic schools

How is Oregon a #9?
Man, Baylor must have been scared, glad they got in.

They say they are stressing non-conference strength of schedule. Ole Miss beat 7 teams in the tournament this year, I think they got snubbed big time.

I think a losing record in conference play should eliminate you from at-large bid consideration... they didn't get snubbed

K-State-USC should be great if Beasley has one of his massive games, but otherwise, they have no chance. Team was unwatchable late in the season.
They really gave the Big Ten a rough deal. Wisconsin deserved a 2, NO DOUBT, and Indiana at 8 is an absolute joke. Sucks for White to have to face UNC so early, because it probably is all for him.
I don't understand why the committee doesn't do more to get guys like Mayo, Beasley, Gordon better matchups. They lose that appeal real early since none of these teams really have a chance for a run.
Pac-10 really got too much love as far as seeding goes.

Ole Miss lost to some crappy teams, but to the higher tier teams they played, they won or played them extremley close. In that aspect they got snubbed. |

They just don't deserve it. Ohio State was more deserving for a big conference at-large. So much hate for the Big Ten that a team that played like shit in Pac-10 play gets in because the conference is deep. |

Arizona St. would've been a better option. They beat 'Zona twice and crushed a #3 seed, Xavier

at least Nova got in. Happy to actually have my own school in the tournament. That's weird to say.

I seriously don't understand why Wisconsin got no love the last two weeks. "If Gtown wins, they're a two seed, maybe a one seed" what the fuck? Wisconsin beat Texas, Indiana twice, Michigan State twice, ran through the big ten tournament, yet they get a three seed and have to play Mayo or Beasley? Total BS.

I really had high hopes for Wisconsin. But having to face Beasley/Mayo, then GTown, that's ridiculous.

I thought Duke should be bumped down a line and Wisconsin should be a #2. I think G'Town is ridiculously overrated at this point so I like Wisconsin's chances to the Elite 8 if they can get past that tough second round draw.

No no, I don't care about Wisconsin vs. Gtown. Georgetown is overrated. Wisconsin is the superior team, I have no doubt about that. I was actually really excited that they're the two seed that we play. GTown is the weakest of the #2 seeds, IMO.

I know, but I haven't been impressed at all with the way they've closed out the season. Wisconsin dominated the Big 10... they were very close to being undefeated in a power conference. I value H2H matchups, but this is a case where it can be excused. I probably should've said that G'Town should be bumped down a line... Duke>G'Town. |

It was at Duke where no out of conference team has won in like, ten years (something ridiculous), and it was in late November. We got SO much better as the season progressed. Also, Hughes got hurt that game. Shafted. The whole league was. |
