Straight from the Dog
One more time.
Michigan is 2-3 in their last 5 games since the reveal on February 10th when they were the No. 1 two seed.
UConn is 5-0 in that same timeframe.
Michigan is still a 2 seed according to Charlie SECreme.
UConn is still a 3 seed according to Charlie "I hate UConn" Creme.
Then the reveal comes out and whadaya know. Charlie got it right.
Michigan is the worst 2 seed and UConn is the best 3 seed.
I guess I just don't understand their criteria.
Monday night Baylor beat Iowa State cementing their well deserved 2 seed. But Iowa State is still a 2 seed? Yeah, I know, this game was not over before the reveal. But will they stay a 2 seed? Even after a 25 point loss at home? Sigh.....
My head about exploded when I heard them say that the committee always takes injuries into account.
Does anyone think that UConn loses to Georgia Tech, Louisville, Oregon or Villianova with their full roster of players? Please....what bullshit.
Whatever UConn is seeded and whatever region they are assigned, this Husky team is going to beat the hell out of whoever they play.

Looks like UConn fans are not the only ones complaining about the seedings. Since the first reveal, Tennessee has lost 6 games. It dropped them from a 1 seed to a probable 5 seed.
This particular fan doesn't blame the team's play for losing, he blames the schedule.
"I do think Coach Harper may need to rethink the schedule if it turns out that teams with about the same number of losses get a home bid over us with sos over 30 and rpi over 20. He is giving Iowa the four seed and their Net is 18 , their rpi is 25, and their sos is 30. To add their quantran one and two record is 13 and 7 while our is 17 and 7. Net 17, rpi 8, sos 4 Really makes no sense to me but we'll see if he is right or not. Also Notre Dame another weak resume and got blown off their home court is another four seed. Hard to understand the logic since they have a 30 rpi, a 13 and 7 win loss quantran 1 and 2 and 20 net with an sos of 35. These are two of his four seeds that he is putting over us. I mean we could drop Stanford and Uconn and schedule Tennessee State and Austin Peay for 40 point wins if that is what they are using these days."
A really dumb take on this. It's not the strong schedule that is the problem. It's losing games to Auburn, Alabama, by 25 to Florida and 24 to UConn. They deserve to be dropped to a 5 seed.
It's also Charlie SECreme's take, not the committee.
