Kenpom has them at #10 in offense but #219 on D.

So we're playing in Omaha against a team that doesn't play D?

Sounds familiar...

[wusphlash]

I think these brackets are going to be severely criticized and based on some of the seeding and inclusions (UCLA cough,cough) I think criticism is warranted.

Cute homecoming for Diana and the Ducks to Omaha.

Yipes, Stripes, Beechnut Gum!

They seem to love putting Kentucky in our bracket.

Test-makers versus the Test-Fakers.

7 seed went all the way last year...no reason it cant do it again!

[Ashockalypse]

The 7 seed is a complete Dis. Essentially the committee doesn't have us in their top 24 teams, despite the fact that we have been there all year with those who vote. You don't think something is going on there? I hope we're motivated by that but its getting ridiculous. Texas in the tournament? The Big 12 and their seedings? We need to give Kentucky their first F%$#*ing loss!

[WuDrWu]

Nope, not after they lost. I'm more surprised Arizona/Wisconsin didn't get a 1.

Beat the hell out of the Buckeyes.

[bunck]

Lots of stories for us here with the committee. ku and Kentucky are obvious but a lot of people think Indiana will try to go after Marshall soon. I think that all five Indiana teams are in the same bracket too.

[wu_shizzle]

In reality, the main factor that dictates all this is geography. The committee assigns teams to be as close to their natural regions as possible.

This was posted in February, and it's still true.

[wusphlash]

Big 12 gets 3 number 3s? Excuse me while I vacate my stomach.

[jocoshock]

But first, there is even more intrigue. No. 7 seed Wichita State looms as a possible second-round matchup if the Shockers get by No. 10 seed Indiana.

I guess you may be the only one (maybe one of a few) who doesn't want UK. We want a revenge

I don't want to be anywhere near UK. I'll take our revenge next year, thanks.

[another shocker]

hoosier fans:

wichita state, much to our rabid shocker fans regret, starts a 6'7" center and a 6'4" power forward. ugghh.. gregg marshall, unusually for him, got caught a bit short there, on the frontline. what can we expect from the indiana frontline?

any info about the hoosier frontline, indiana fans? did you play kentucky this year?

[fansince80s]

Didn't notice, Are Thursday or Friday?
