That East region looks rough. Bad draw for UCLA.

The Big Ten has figured out scheduling. Schedule good teams in the non con. It doesn't even matter if you win because it drives up the conferences NET ratings. Then once conference play starts, no matter how poorly you perform, you'll never drop much.
The B1G will have another massive 1st weekend flame out.

Now that's some bull****.
I don't care who wins the whole thing as long as the Big10 fails miserably.
ACC didn't get a whole lot of respect. Their 2nd place team has to play in the first 4 and the tournament champion only got an 11 seed. Can't really complain though because the conference was down this year

I'm looking at some of these seeds and wondering what the hell the committee was watching.

Serious Question: Those of you bitching about the Pac 12 being disrespected.........who got screwed and why? Make a case for somebody.
Other thoughts-Virginia Tech being where they are tells me the committee saw them as a bid thief. CSU is probably overseeded slightly. I'd have had them as a 7-8. Wyoming's underseeded. Iowa State over LSU is an upset I'm definitely picking.

Congratulation, Hokie.

Just like last year.
Michigan got lucky. Should've at least had to play in. Instead they get CSU who is as big a paper tiger as there is in this tourney. Watch Michigan win and everybody will say they were justified.
Miami getting a 10 and Vtech getting an 11. I mean c'mon.
St. Mary's a 5
Texas a 6
Bama a 6
CSU a 6
OSU a 7
LSU a 6
I'm thinking 11 seeds are going to have a field day.

Colorado over Rutgers.

At the same time nobody in the Pac12 was deserving of a bid after the top 3

A$M didn't get in although they won the conference tournament while proven cheater self gets a 1 seed. Almost like nuhbraska playing for a natty coming off an epic blowout loss.
We also only had 1 quad I win while Rutgers had 6
Cool story. But losses to DePaul, Lafayette and UMass are inexcusable.

Because the big 10 is absurdly over rated. Look at last year.
Bids by conference

Rutgers was 12-7 vs. Q2 - Q4, including a Q4 loss. Not too dissimilar from our 2011 resume.
I'm not even that upset about Rutgers relative to teams like Michigan, or even USF (0-5 vs. St Mary's and Zags), but the margin for error for the Buffs is just extremely thin.
Oklahoma was 4-11 in conference 2.5 weeks ago, but strung together a few mediocre wins plus a win over Baylor and jumped to 2nd replacement team. Despite Arizona losing to only us, UCLA and Tenn, Lunardi said last week that we probably needed to win the P12 tourney to get in. We were already the 4 seed when he said it (Utah game), which means he needed to see us beat #1 seed Arizona 2 of 3 times. What bubble team has a win over a #1 seed, let alone 2? That's absurd.
Overall, it's frustrating to not even be mentioned.
Michigan, USF and Indiana had very good NET rankings, for what that's worth. USF somehow had a 22 NET, don't ask me how

Would you take Wisconsin or Rutgers or some of these other teams over the likes of Oregon or us? ****...UW and ASU field better talent than they do.

B1G sell fulfilling prophecy. Inflate your NET with a strong schedule.
Losses against great teams need to be devalued. Simply scheduling tough shouldn't result in a high NET.

So are losses to Southern Illinois.
They are a blueblood in Hockey. Their lacrosse team is outstanding, skiing they are about on par with CU.
Other than that you are kidding. CU is one of the elites in XC, both men's and women's DU plays basketball at a level that is simply a one bid league, no conference tourney win, no NCAA tourney, and if they get that bid they will be a 12 seed or lower. CU had a rebuilding year and won over 20 games playing in a major conference. The women's BB team is pending an at large selection.

Could the women host the first two rounds?
Be great but I have no idea. Don't know the process or the factors considered.
One loss. Not 3. Southern Illinois probably beats all 3. Just saying.

They get a lot more chances for quality wins than we do because the B1G is better top to bottom. I don't have an issue with them in over us. Again, the 3 Pac 12 teams who should have gotten in did.
