I'll take playing in Pittsburgh or Detroit against a a team with talent who underachieved over playing in Boise or San Diego against a team with talent who performed well. Not to mention an easier first round opponent.
We're a lock for the tournament, so we might as well just lose the rest of our games. Then we'll be a team with talent that vastly underachieved. |

In this morning's bracketmatrix, we are the second 3 seed along with Auburn, Texas Tech and Tennessee. Our resume seems to be comfortably ahead of the 4 seed teams (Wichita St, Clemson, West Virginia, Arizona). We have more Group 1 wins than each of those except WVU, who has 8 losses (including one bad one).
Losing at Wichita St could very well move them up, but not necessarily at our expense if the other 3 seeds pick up losses as well. |

Excellent loss for us tonight. Got to think of UNC loses at Duke we will be looking good for that 2... we HAVE to win @ Wichita. I really don't want to drop all the way to a 4.

Looking at the current projected seeds on bracketmatrix, I'm afraid we still might get shipped west even with a protected seed. The selection committee assigns sites in order based on the seed list:

Most of the teams above us are from the east and will fill those sites first. Here's my mock rundown: 1 Villanova - Pittsburgh 2 Virginia - Charlotte 3 Kansas - Wichita 4 Xavier - Pittsburgh 5 Duke - Charlotte 6 Purdue - Detroit 7 UNC - Nashville 8 Michigan St - Detroit 9 Auburn - Nashville 10 Cincinnati - Wichita 11 Tennessee - Dallas 12 Texas Tech - Dallas 13 West Virginia - Boise 14 Wichita St - Boise 15 Clemson - San Diego 16 Ohio St - San Diego Looks like we need to get a 2 seed or the top 3 seed to stay close to home. A 3 seed likely puts us in the plains, and a 4 seed probably puts us out west. |

Is it true if you are a protected seed, or a certain seed you send the committee your top locations? Then, they place you at a location based on your preference? For example, UC and X are about the same distance to Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Nashville, but it is up to them to rank those cities by preference. I feel like I have heard this before, but can't remember if it is correct.
