Team(s) who got screwed yesterday

[tzznandrew]

West Virginia gets to play the 33rd ranked Kenpom team in the country in the 1st round, and they are a 3 seed. They are only a 7 point favorite. They got screwed.

Oklahoma gets to play a team ranked between Alabama and Nebraska by Kenpom in round 1.

I noticed the West Virginia one earlier today in looking for upsets. I really like WVU, and so do the advanced metrics. And that sucks for SF Austin, who might otherwise have been a great upset pick.

Arizona as a 6 potentially getting Wichita also feels messed up--for both. Arizona is the one PAC team who the metrics love, and they get underseeded, and WSU is really good--might be favored in that matchup, if it happens.

Agreed that SFA would be an upset pick if they were not playing WVU, who I have in the F4

Monmouth losing to 3 or 4 terrible teams wipes out the sorta good wins (ND a 6 seed, and USC an 8; Georgetown and UCLA both sucked so they don't count). I'm a tad surprised George Washington didn't get in, and very surprised Tulsa did get in (although I admit after seeing Wichita St. in, who Tulsa beat, and the other three American teams seeded decently, I wasn't that surprised when their name finally popped on the board: I actually thought that Houston might have got in at that point).

Vanderbilt just proved they didn't belong. The teams that get in because of their "good" losses usually exit early.

On that note UConn was 6-9 against the field +SMU. 1-2 Cinci, 1-2 Trmple, 1-1 Tulsa, 1-1 SMU, 2-3 OOC (Cuse, Zags, Maryland, Michigan, Texas). One bad loss to Houston.

Colorado was 4-10 against the field +SMU. 1-2 Zona, 1-1 Oregon, 1-1 OSU, 0-1 USC, 0-2 Utah, 1-1 Cal, 0-2 OOC (ISU, SMU). Bad losses to UCLA and Washington.

Bad losses being teams not in the tournament. Of course that isn't the end all be all, because Colorado played higher seeded teams on average. God I can't wait for the game.

RPI is a flawed formula.

Bingo! UConn Women are #3 in RPI. That's all you need to know.
