Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3920079, member: 1131"] It should be noted that: [LIST=1] [*]Michigan (Baylor's opponent today) was a #6 seed in the tournament, and therefore (at least in the Committee's judgment) a slightly inferior opponent to Iowa, who was a #5 seed. This is despite the fact that Michigan was ahead of Iowa in the Big 10 standings -- but the Wolverines played many fewer games than Iowa due to COVID. [*]There was one head-to-head meeting between Michigan and Iowa, on February 25, and the result was a 22-point Iowa victory. Note that this was quite late in the season when both teams were presumably playing at or near the best. [/LIST] So these data points suggest that UConn defeated a slightly better team by 20 points than Baylor beat in overtime by 3 points. Just sayin' ... [/QUOTE]
