Indiana

None of those games in the play in or whatever the **** you want to call it, it doesn't matter game, is ridiculous.
 
There is NO WAY the Bruins should be in this tournament. Teams like Colorado St, Temple, and richmond should be irate.
 
UCLA is horrible...no way they should have made it. Being purely objective...I'm really ticked if I'm an MSU fan that I lost the BTT championship game in OT to Wisconsin and got the same seed as Iowa. If it were reversed I would be talking about Iowa getting no respect and Izzo getting preferential treatment yet again.

More and more it seems the committee is ignoring the RPI rankings, which is a really good thing IMO. If you completely throw out RPI and look at both Iowa/MSU side by side, I would say they are on par. Iowa's best wins are UNC, Ohio State x2 and Maryland...Michigan State's best wins are Ohio State x2, Maryland, and....Iowa. MSU also already lost to maryland twice before finally getting them in the tournament.

Also, the committee said that Wisconsin was already a #1 seed on Saturday, so it seems like the Sundays games played zero part in the seeding, especially since Uconn lost

I agree with everything you said. But I'm still shocked that Izzo didn't get a 2 seed bump.

To be honest when I saw Purdue's seed I thought the big ten was going to get completely hosed throughout the bracket. After seeing that I was 100% expecting Iowa's name was going to come up as an 8 seed after Duke was announced.
 
I couldn't believe the BTN analysts; they were surprised that tOSU got a #10 seed. They all thought it should be higher. I seriously laughed out loud. The wife asked me what was so funny and when I told her, she laughed out loud too.

Agreed. Those teams (Colorado st., Temple, Richmond, etc.) manipulate the RPI so badly that it renders it meaningless. Teams like UNI and Witcha St. who don't play anyone got hurt by their cupcake schedules as well. The fact is if Colorado St., Temple, Richmond play Texas/Indiana/UCLA schedules, they won't even qualify for the NIT. UNI/Witcha St. are both NCAA teams, but if they play a Power 6 schedule they are a 9/10/11 seed.

You can add Texas/UCLA to that mix as well.

Or Okie State.

17-13.

Have won one game in the last month. 8-11 conference record. Beat no one in their non league schedule. Got in the tourney because they swept Baylor and beat Kansas once.

Indiana getting in was a joke too. Iowa would never have gotten a bid with the Indiana resume'.

Kansas getting a 2 seed and playing basically a home game in Omaha is sickening. You tell me the committee doesn't look at name when considering teams..

Iowa State basically won the Big 12 tourney for nothing.. Projected 3 seed going in. 3 seed coming out. Beat Kansas 2 out of 3 this year. Kansas plays at home in Omaha. ISU goes to Louisville.

Not true.. If they ignored the RPI, how in the hell did Okie State get in at 17-13?
