KState got a ty seed, but I think they have the advantage over USC and will have a bad ass matchup with Wisconsin in the 2nd round.
UNC got a raw deal as the top #1 I think by having to take on Indiana in the 2nd round if Indiana gets by ARK.
I think Texas helped themselves by losing the Big XII le game. They get either St. Mary's who they already beat the out of or Miami, who really isn't that great in the front court. Then they go to Houston for home court and definite home court in San Antonio if they make the Final 4. Damn good draw devoid of bad ass front court compe ion if I remember correctly.
aTM a #3? Bit of a surprise there but a nice layout for them as well.
A&M is a #9 seed. Pretty much what I expected... I didn't think they could get into the top 7 seeds unless they beat Kansas.
Did Arizona State get a little jobbed? Maybe, but the committee always favors the Big East.

Being in Michigan, I'm loving that both Kansas and Kansas St. fell into the MidWest bracket!! Hopefully they both make it to the Sweet 16, so I can drive down to Detroit and watch them!!!
I'm sure a lot of you are watching the coverage, but for those who are not, here are some of the snubs that the ESPN panel have been discussing:
Arizona State
Virginia Tech
Ohio State
Dayton
Syracuse
A few of the questionable teams in the tourney include:
Baylor
Oregon
Southern Alabama
Villanova
Kentucky
I hate the automatic bid for the crappy conferences. I know you want to give #1 the easiest team, but UT Arlington in the tournament?
The tournament committee spoke loud and clear that they want beasley in the tourney past the first round by giving an 11 seed the best site possible.
I agree on Oregon and Baylor. Az State blew their biggest chances losing to Oregon in the final week of the season and losing to USC.
The entire ASU starting lineup will be back next year though and to go from 2 wins in the Pac-10 last year to 9-9 this year in a tough conference leads me to believe they'll be in next year.
This reminds me a lot of the 04-05 Aggie b-ball team because they had a weak non-conference schedule and a .500 Big 12 record, which probably just kept them out.
How the does Texas get a number 2 and Wisconsin gets a 3 when we beat them IN Austin WITHOUT our starting PG???
Texas is better.
Because the Big 12 is a lot tougher than the Big 10.
Baylor IS one of the top 64 teams in the country. They aren't a complete team and had a bad loss to Colorado in the first round of the Big 12 Tourney, but they deserve to be there.
And I've got a buddy who is a Purdue alum, so it looks like we'll have a nice little bet...
look around, they did that with quite a few teams.
a #1 seeded KU had to play #2 UCLA in Cali last year.
it happens all the time (or at least since the pod system).
texas won a better conference and did quite a bit more in their non-conference, even if the head-to-head favors wisky.
OK, so it didn't make sense to have put UCLA in the west bracket last year?
Which is why they couldnt beat an undermanned Wisconsin team in Texas.![]()
And it doesn't make sense to have K-State in the midwest bracket this year? That's my point. I'm not arguing with you.
looks like my other team is afforded the opportunity to send k-state home again...SC should.
Purdue should be seeded higher than Wisconsin.![]()
Pretty favorable match-up for the Cats IMHO. USC is very athletic (but so is KSU), but they aren't as disciplined as a lot of the teams that give KSU trouble.
With the game being played within 2.5 hrs of Manhattan, can't ask for much more if you're an 11 seed.
Same way UCLA is a #1 and Texas is a #2
SC has a better supporting cast around Mayo than k-state has around beasley...and we are better defensively.
...i'll take SC 67-60.
