Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3920719, member: 26"] You nailed it. I totally get that the committee had a much harder time this year due to the lack of OOC games. You didn't get to see lots of games between the power conferences, which would have given the committee a measuring stick of which conferences performed better than others, thus making their intra-conference games a measuring stick for not only how many teams from each conference, but where to seed them. Not sure the SEC deserved less teams in, but obviously the conference did not deserve the high seedings. You expect lower seeds to lose, but in this NCAAT... #4 Arkansas lost to #13 Wright State #3 Georgia lost to #6 Oregon #3 Tennessee lost to #6 Michigan #4 Kentucky lost to #5 Iowa #2 aTm probably should have lost to #15 Troy, should have lost to #7 ISU, and finally lost to #3 Arizona Alabama losing to higher seed Maryland is expected. SC is the only remaining SEC team left. If it was just one, or even 2 instances, one could argue that the lower seeds were seeded too low, but 5 out of the 7 SEC teams in the tourney under-performed according to their seedings. Seems like all of them should have been lower. and SC should have been a 2 seed replaced by Baylor or Maryland - of course hindsight is always 20-20. [/QUOTE]
