I don’t have a problem with the 4-seed.. what I expected.

But the East Regions 1-4 seeds are these in terms of KenPom

1-seed: #1 UConn
2-seed: #5 Iowa State
3-seed: #10 Illinois
4-seed: #4 Auburn

How do you put three Top 5 KenPom teams in one region? That’s insanely unfair to UConn most of all.

When it comes down to it, they don’t care about kenpom.

It should be equal. Equally tough as all regions in theory.

One region has 3 of the Top 5 teams, per KenPom.

Another has just one in the Top 8. There should never be that much disparity.

Well it’s 3 of the Top 6 in the NET, so also ridiculous.

Obvious and conference tournaments either.

Better to just drop out and rest.

Ken Pom himself told the NCAA not to use his model to pick teams.

After Friday, probably. UT lost the 1 seed by losing Friday. But Saturday/Sunday probably have no bearing.

The problem is no one knows what they care about. It's a joke full of bias and with zero reason or consistency. Just a bunch of jackasses throwing it at the wall with no accountability.

Agree, think quad one wins bring more weight than anything else with the committee and AU didn't have them..

Ok but what does that even mean? We have 30 and 40 point wins over a top 15 team that don't count as Quad 1. The whole thing is a joke. Also, a 15 point win over Miss St. who is 1 spot from being another quad 1. We have 26 wins by double digits lol.

Don’t skip past Yale. Ivy League basketball takes so much air out of the ball that their champ has historically been a really tough first round draw.

They have minimal talent, but a great coach.

KU should cruise with a solid game plan.

Too busy celebrating another SEC Title… and holding Florida to under 100. Heard some teams have struggled doing that.

They hate Kansas and everyone that lives there. I'll be surprised if Samford doesn't have 4 technical fouls and two Kansas players aren't carted off the court.

Birmingham is less of a shithole than Lawrence.
