Feels like 2005 all over again. 7 seed playing Iowa in the first round with an SEC 2 seed waiting.

Wouldn't be a tournament without a UC under seeding. **** it, let's see what happens. Tennessee possibly in the second round really sucks to swallow though. Hope you Ohioans get your asses out there!

I think SEC is overrated. They're a very good team but about as good as Houston probably a little better. Very similar to Houston actually. They got absolutley ran off the court by Auburn today in basically a home court game for them. They lost to probably the worst Kansas team in a while. They let Memphis score at will on them, although they just scored more than Memphis lol. A beatable #2 IMO for our style pf play. Plus Mick's 2-0 vs Rick Barnes teams. Interesting we'll be playing a home and home series with the Vols in '19 and '20.

As long as we are stuck with a 7 seed (and it is unfortunate the AAC tourney doesn't finish on Saturday), this is the best 7 seed to get. MSU, UM, and UK would all worry me more as a 2 seed, and Iowa has been a hot mess of late. As things go, it could be worse.
Michigan State has the most room to complain. Deserved a 1 seed, got a 2 in Duke's region. Meanwhile a team they beat 3 times got a 2 in Gonzaga's region. That is some horseshit, and I despise MSU. |

I don't think we're underseeded. Our resume plus metrics fit right in with the other 7 seeds. We have by far the lowest Kenpom ranking of any 7 or better seed. That cancels out our slightly better quadrant records.
I would much rather play Iowa in Columbus than St Mary's in Hartford. Kansas St has to play UC Irvine in California. Wisconsin has to play Oregon in California. Auburn has to play New Mexico St in Utah. Florida St has to play Vermont in Connecticut. All of those teams have bigger gripes than us. |

If we happen to make the sweet sixteen, we'll be playing in Louisville.
