So, you seem willing to ignore the reasoning and protocol that was explained to you and has been discussed ad-nauseam on this forum.

The NET was NEVER designed as an “all encompassing” statistic to be the definitive stat. If you don’t want to accept that fact, fine but understand most of us have spent time learning the protocol and others like learning the process as well. You seem bent on living in denial and using irrelevant facts like history from 1865 as a reasoning tool to justify your thinking. What UConn historically has done has NO BEARING on this seeding. Please try to read/listen, spend time to understand the process and evolve.
I am happily putting you on ignore. BYE.

Why are posters wanting so desperately for their team to b seeded one or four or 8 spots higher? It doesn’t matter much. Either way, you’ve still gotta win at least 7 games champs. At least 4 of those are gonna be against pretty doggone good teams no matter where you are seeded. I know a certain team that was a 3 seed last year but came within a ref’s blocking foul of going to the championship game,

People seem to want the pride of “accomplishing” a top 4 seed. It is not an accomplishment. It’s a mere estimate for organizing that which is really important - the tournament.

Two years from now, nobody will care where your. Team was seeded. Only where they end up

This should not involve pride. It’s meaningless

But if we don't agitate around this issue, what will we do with our torches and pitchforks all week?

No, sorry, you’re trying to cherry pick one game at the expense of the rest of the season. It simply doesn’t work that way. The other games matter too. By your logic Notre Dame would be ahead of us.
Disagree on ND

ND did not blow us out at home by 30
The game was much earlier in the season -
We were not at full strength -
and
They have lost numerous times in the last 10 games —
I will give you USC.
They beat us at home in a close one
They have played well down the stretch.

I just think when they are seeding they are saying this team is believed to be better and their work proves it.
Coming off the beat down I am not sure how they can say that —
I know we both love UConn and thanks for the debate.
