Edey got two extremely friendly calls in OT. And still Purdue couldn’t get it done.

Purdue is still #1 in WAB even after the loss.

The committee may have already locked in the 1 seeds as well before today's action. They've been known to do that.

But if the committee goes away from them, Houston has more Q1 wins than us and won a better league, so we're unlikely to climb over them. Either way, if us or Houston gets #1 overall, we're extremely likely to get Iowa State as our #2. The 2s are pretty much locked in with Tennessee, Arizona, Iowa St, and Marquette. Marquette can't be in our region, Arizona will go West, Tennessee will go South if they're 6th or Midwest if they're 5th and Houston is #1 overall.

So unless Iowa St passes Tennessee, they're our #2.

I was thinking the same thing watching this game and also other Purdue games. Edey is rarely in foul trouble and his 1st half foul trouble was because of a personal foul and a technical in the first 2 minutes of the game. He went from there until OT with no fouls called against him. Jarring after watching the Big East refs whistles. Also, what was Painter thinking before OT having Edey guard the inbounds pass. He had to be underneath to stop a play just like we saw that put the game into OT.

If Iowa state passes Tennessee it will be because they beat Houston. We should be top seed if we win

I have watched Purdue a few times and Eady gets every call. Anybody hear Izzo yesterday? Also, Painter is not good game coach. And Eady is so slow, hope we play them. Samson will have a field day running the court. Every possession will be a 5 on 4.

Which region plays which in the final 4 already determined by location or will they decide it based on the ranking of the 1 seeds?

Would be great to not have to see Houston or Purdue until a hypothetical final

It's in order of rank. So getting 1 overall avoids them until final, but odds are against all 3 getting to F4 anyways.
 
Win tonight
Houston loses
We have to be number 1

If we all make it to the FF, Houston vs Purdue, Uconn vs whoever.

Maybe not this year. It has been these top 3 and then a mess of 20 teams but none in our class. Sure chances aren't high, but this year they seem higher than most.
 
After watching UConn/St Johns yesterday, is it me or did Purdue/Wisc look slow as molasses and vanilla offense.

BE v B1G refs. One conf tries to support its leading program, the other tries every way possible to negatively impact their chance of winning. I’ll let u decide which is which

Wow, did not expect that. Edey got a couple of really questionable calls in OT, so Wisconsin deserved something to break their way. Incredible game.

No amount of incompetence can explain away those calls.

Clingan was getting hammered yesterday especially without the ball. But the refs seem to think he's a brick wall and Edey is a fragile flower.
 
If this were Clingan the big east refs would have issued 3 fouls

I haven't see a big guy get so many favorable whistles. He gets a lot of benefit of the doubt calls that most bigs don't get.

Absolutely!!!! Meanwhile, Clingan just got beat down an entire game versus Marquette. Unbelievable difference

how much does geography factor in for the 2 seeds b/c the four projected 2's all have a clear preference. i'm assuming we're #1 overall:

east- uconn / tenn
midwest- purdue / marquette
south- houston / isu
west- unc / zona

but these matchups disadvantage the 1 seeds. isu cant be in the south w/ houston. tenn is not the weakest 2 seed so they shouldnt be paired with us, and it would disadvantage the 1 seed in the west relative to zona. so it should be:

east- uconn / zona
midwest- purdue / marq
south- houston / tenn
west- unc / isu

zona is just getting an outsize advantage if they get to go west compared to the other 2s

We've passed Purdue in WAB (11.3 to 11).

Houston will continue to have more Q1 wins than us, but just got absolutely mauled and lost their advanced metrics advantage over us.

After that showing, Iowa State may pass Tennessee. Better advanced metrics, more Q1 wins, a tournament title. They are unlikely (I'd think) to jump UNC.

So if they are the Top 2 seed, they go midwest, Tennessee to South, Marquette to West, and Arizona East?
