Michigan got the shaft

By no means do i think they are as good as OSU, MSU, Mizzou, etc. But it is strange that a team that tied for the Big Ten title gets a 4 seed.

Louisville, Indiana, Wisconsin got 4's. Baylor finished behind ISU and got a 3 seed. FSU and G'Town also got a 3 seed.

What this seeding tells me is that total number of wins and losses is more important then sharing the title in the best conference.
 
I agree I thought they'd have been a 3. Thought that big ten was "best conference" Well they sure didn't seed it that way.

They rewarded the Conf. Tournament winners as much, or more so than the regular season winners IMO.
 
Michigan is vunerable because they rely on the 3. If they get hot look it out. If not could be an early exit for the maize and blue.
 
for the BT to get 3 teams with a 4th seed is pretty good in my opinion, now all the team have to do is prove they deserve them and prove the BT was the toughest conference in the country, if all three reach the sweet 16 that will put a stamp on how good of a year Iowa actually had, that would mean Iowa went up against 3 of the sweet 16 round and went 4-1
 
I could certainly see Ohio State and MSU bullying their way to the final four.

Those two teams made Iowa look silly.
 
Look at Washington, they won the regular season Pac12 yet they get snubbed and they put Cal in the tournament. I dont care what their RPI is, that is just wrong.
