Seth Davis is a choade
Efficiency ratings historically do a pretty good job of projecting how teams will do. Kenpom has Houston at #4. Providence at #49. That's a pretty huge difference. Torvik has Houston at #2 and Providence at #45. NET has Houston at #3 and Providence at #33.

He just hates the BIG
Man I've been kind of neutral on Davis over the years but after reading his columns in the Athletic and his performance or whatever you want to call it on this selection show, he is a Grade A !!!!!!!.
They have big guards and the have DeSouza from KU as their C. Kofi will eat his lunch. Hopefully we will go in hungry. If we do we can make a run.
Big 12 gets two one seeds.
Seth Davis, “big ten better show out”

Half of these will be one and done...
There were no top 2 seeds and unless you're Wisconsin....they all got displaced. Speaks to the fact that there were no great teams, but a bunch of good ones. The committee has spoken.
Not a banner day for the conference.
Half of the field is. You put 9 in, this is bound to happen.
I'd day that's about right.
Seth's first question is about Big 10 getting 9.
The top 6 seed lines lined up with the bracket matrix exactly. This field may be the most in line with projections since people have been doing this.
I do think Providence is an easy 4, but their rated that way because they pulled out three of their last seven in OT.
If I’m not mistaken, two common opponents with Houston beating UVA, and Providence beat Wisconsin.
I think kenpom and torvik matter, but not as much when you’re looking at a team that played weak competition all year.
Regardless, I think we can and will beat Houston if they survive the 5-12
So we get the NET #3 team and the KenPom #4 team as a 5 seed. It has a familiar ring to it.
NCAA does not like Illinois... We will have to force our hand go get the CHIP!
NET 31. All that mattered
Houston is good but the KenPom, Torvik, NET overrate them. They don’t really have significant wins. But they do seem to be consistent in their lower and mid tier wins and don’t really play down to their competition.
Yes like the arguably BEST team in the tournament that has already beat us once this year
