Does seem a little coincidental that fsu plays Fl no one and kentuck plays no one kentucky etc
Iowa gets a #1 seed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Late in the game.. think about it... I may or may not be serious.
But it wasn't even JBo.
Yeah... It wasn't a young team losing to Omaha or Memphis + 14 games... It was the scheduling.
So the criteria is not to be good enough to actually win games in the tournament, like Illinois State, but to schedule tough games that you lose in the regular season, like Vandy.
Makes sense.
Makes sense.
Almost certain that as a player at Indiana they lost as a 3 seed once upon a time in the first round. One of those weird facts that got tossed out after that Harvard loss that year.
Of all the teams... Vandy kills me. 15 losses including 20+ pt losses to Marquette, Middle Tenn St & 7 win Missouri. They beat ISU by 4 at home, South Carolina & FLA three times. That's about it. And FLA gets a 4 seed losing to Vandy 3 times!
Who knew the SEC was so highly rated!
Who knew the SEC was so highly rated!
Regardless the RPI is a bull crap metric.
Go look at Vandy's schedule and tell me that's worthy of a high RPI, 9 seed with 15 losses!
I didn't think we would be in but being one of the teams 69-72 I think people were justified being hopeful. No need to demean those people.
Yeah, someone is going to have to 'splain Vandy to me. The 9 seed more than anything. How a 15 loss team is anything other than a play-in team astounds me.
They said Smith was attending to some personal matter (family member health maybe?) and would be with the crew come Thursday.
I wonder what they would have done with Vandy if they lost to Florida in the regular season finale and then didn't win the SEC Tournament. Wonder if they would have taken a 16 loss team. A 9 seed is super high.
Vandy beat Florida 3x other than that had a ton of bad losses. WF was one team who benefited from beating bottom of their conference then riding off the coat tails of ACC best conference. They finished 10th and got only 3 wins vs 9 teams ahead of them including conference tourney. Who was their best non conference win? LSU. Minus L'ville only other impressive wins all year Miami and va Tech.
With big 10 seeding all over the place. But I'd be pissed if I was a Wisconsin fan. Minny 5, Maryland 6 and Michigan 7 all above them then get same seed as northwestern.
