Both the Big 12 and Big 10 are way overrated. I saw one projected bracket with 9 Big 10 teams in the field. They also had 7 teams in from the ACC which is an absolute joke.

Did someone merge the SH postgame thread with the reveal thread?

The thing is, Indiana and Kansas St also did it to themselves. Kansas St lost to Butler! By double figures! And have lost 5 of their last 7.

Indiana also had a stretch where they lost 5 of 7 and got swept by Northwestern.

All 3 teams had crappy stretches, but our good stretch was the best of the 3 and our numbers reflect that.
They both play in better leagues.

Makes sense. I think we need to play ourselves into a 4 seed at this point.

There is very little difference between 5 and 4 seeds. It's really about matchups in the 1st round. Now if UConn get upgraded to a 3 seed then that would be better for them. Probably need to win BET.

Someone else can confirm but I thought top 4 seeds in each region get some preference on location

For those saying UConn didn’t look good today- it was a win that was, for the most part, never in doubt against a solid, on the bubble NCAA tournament team. We weren’t playing Stonehill or Delaware State out there. A little perspective is good sometimes.

IU had two starters go down with injuries mid season. They are starting to play as a team now with an all American putting up some big numbers

We did this to ourselves.

But….The metrics ?

Told everyone they were bs. This is a lesson in OOC scheduling going forward.
That we shouldn't play in big tournaments pre big east conf play? What is the ooc scheduling fix ? Not to play cupcakes ?

Less cupcakes and better quality cupcakes. The tournaments and challenges are fine.

This makes no sense. When you look at our total body of work, we are pretty solidly a top-10 or 15 team. We have only dropped in rankings/seedlings because we haven’t played as well within the conference. We have great OOC wins! And the advanced metrics - which could be overrating us or underrating others, I don’t know - should predict our performance going forward, not our seeding.
