if they beat Minnesota they hit 20 wins and i think it's not an issue and probably Pitt or Nevada gets booted

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Tennessee could be an E8 team with that bracket.

I can't really argue with it after they shat all over the court vs Minnesota. Can't finish 3-7.

I loving know. If UNM had swept them in those OT games instead of the other way around I wonder if they would've made the tourney too.

per Kenpom the biggest snubs are Rutgers (35), Oklahoma State (38), and Oregon (41); the biggest reaches were Pitt (77), Arizona State (68), and NC State (55)

Oregon aside you could swap out any of those and nobody would care, this is about the right size for the tournament unless you want to just let in every trudging, lovely power conference school

I’m torn here because Kansas does not look very good and I don’t really believe in this team and we have severe problems.

On the other hand, the criteria for ranking Houston as the second 1-seed to play in the Midwest is an absolute loving joke like they literally said the reason was they liked their combined quad one and two wins, which was 17 and Kansas has 17 quad one wins +4 quad two wins like what in the holy poo poo are you talking about dude

This is the real reason Houston got the second overall number 1 seed it’s just none of the reasons are legitimate other than this.

Don’t try to dress it up. Just tell people. Hey you fell apart at the end it looks real bad.

Well if Utah State is an offensive juggernaut that's not a big deal since Mizzou lets teams like Mississippi St., LSU, and South Carolina score 10+ points above their season averages. As long as they don't play tight defense, Tigers shouldn't be too scared

Okay? UCLA is injured to hell now, St Mary’s hasn’t played very well since beating Gonzaga at Gonzaga. I honestly have doubts you’ll have to play either of them. UConn is potentially dangerous and Gonzaga is playing really well, but Texas and Xavier are equivalent teams in Houston’s bracket.

Yeah their stated reasoning is dumb as poo poo and it’s really because they wanted Houston v Texas and Kansas lost late, but I really don’t think your situation is worse than the other 1 seeds.
