That East region is LOADED

I think the West may be the toughest

 

[clonedude]

And on ESPN they all think Duke should have been a 3.... jfc.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

OSU 43. The pokes were screwed

As was Rutgers

 

[fsanford]

Fremantle is out for Xavier also I believe. We got a really favorable path to the Sweet 16.

agree, while maybe underseeded may have ended up with a better situation.

 

[RezClone]

Xavier isnt super athletic on the perimeter are they? I know the posts are decent but our weakness is length and athletic ability at the guard spots.

No they aren't, but they can really shoot it. Hopefully we can give them the Baylor treatment. Colby Jones is the one guy that can kind of do more than shoot. Think of a VERY VERY poor man's Jalen Wilson.

Sadly...I don't love the draws for the Big 12 overall. I like our chances to win two (I also predicted that last year). But KSU will struggle against UK or Providence. TCU I don't think will beat Gonzaga. Baylor honestly could be on upset alert their first game. Texas I think loses to A&M second round. WVU will win one and done. Kansas likely to go the farthest.

 

[BigLame]

Indiana, a 4 seed? Comical

 

[JP4CY]

Indiana definitely got over seeded.
Maybe the most IMO.

 

[trevn]

Xavier was the worst 3 seed. Just announced.

 

[bradcyclone]

Xavier will have their hands full against a solid Kennesaw State.

 

[ClonerJams]

Neither they nor Az State should have made it. Terrible

ASU miracle shot against Arizona kept Oklahoma State out

 

[clonedude]

All the analysts all year long commented on how by FAR the Big 12 was the best conference... not even close.... and of course the committee screws them over.... unreal the disrespect the Big 12 gets in both football and basketball.

 

[stateofmind]

Seth thinks TMobile center in Kansas.

 

[cycfan1]

Did they just say NC State had 1 quad 1 win?

Completely rediculous. We had two within a five day span this week.

Big 12 got shaft.
KU missing KC (I laughed though)
Texas could have been 1.
Baylor was fringe 2.
Okie state missing
ISU being 6.

 

[CySmurf]

Clark Kellogg is a fool. Iowa wont beat Auburn let alone Houston.

A former Ohio State player...a Big 10 homer. So yes, a fool.

 

[Pope]

Net ranking:

Iowa St 20
Xavier 22
Miss St 48
Pitt 67

Like our path to Sweet 16.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I don't get Pitt and Az St over OSU.

Almost a punishment to OSU for playing in the best conference in two decades. Teams that racked up wins against crap teams got the edge somehow.

 

[JP4CY]

Houston's Q1 and Q2 combined is less than KU's Q1?

KU got screwed.

 

[dahliaclone]

If Iowa gets by Auburn (I think they will) they'll play Houston without their best player. Puke.

 

[Rogue52]

Seth Davis is showing why he is an idiot like normal.
