Why are all of the low end Big 10teams getting in on the mock brackets, yet Okie State keeps getting left out eventhough they have more quad 1 wins and a much tougher schedule?

Yeah, compare OSU's and Michigan's resumes. It is pretty clear which one should be in.
B should definitely be in over the rest of those and then I'd probably lean E 2nd.
Indiana has seemed to be the most overrated team by human pollsters all season. At every single point of the season I have failed to see how they are ranked higher than ISU unless you reward them for having one or two more wins while playing 7-10 less quality matchups, at some points of the year they haven't even had a better record, just less quality wins.
I guess the media just wants the Big Ten to have a blue blood it lacks in basketball that badly since Michigan State kind of started tailing off.

Assuming OSU is Oklahoma State I really don't see how they aren't a lock.
They've been beating or playing pretty even with top 25 teams for over a month straight now.
If OK State doesn't get in it's basically a punishment for the Big 12 being a level above all the other conferences. Everybody knew 8-9 teams were tournament worthy before the season started so you can't suddenly punish them for playing each other instead of playing scrubs.
They didn't have a great record and weren't eligible last year, but they were playing better than most tournament teams at end of year last year. They will be a tough draw for anybody and could likely be underseeded.
I know the teams, but I won't post as a Spoiler, will let OP worry about that.
B then E seems to be the most common response so far.

We know that the committee thought highly of the Big 12 with their seed unveiling a couple weeks ago. I personally think even though many 'experts' have Okie State out that if they win one in KC they'll be in and the Big Ten will get 8 MAYBE night but not 10
I posted who the teams are in the thread already. Post #18 for anyone that wants to know...
(Thanks I had missed that post, wasn't sure when you were doing the "reveal.")
How about this. Anyone can take a wild guess at these teams and the conferences.

I mean it's almost like they swapped AP poll positions 11 spots purely because the media has a perma boner for a really average basketball conference and a has been program that was good a few decades ago. That first listed team has been overrated in the polls wire to wire this year.
The worst Big 12 team is Texas Tech with a Kenpom of #53. Wisconsin is #72. They shouldn't even be sniffing the bubble....of the NIT.
Wisconsin fan here, and there is no way they should be in consideration for the tourney. They're trash. Finishing 12/14 in the Big Ten... Turible.
