[QUOTE="Deleted member 186590, post: 1607233"] I suppose it does depend on your definition of "storyline", but you have to think about it from a national attention perspective, creating interesting pairings that would only happen in a national tournament - us playing Missouri isn't interesting, we play them every year, us playing against a coach that coached us 21 years ago isn't all that interesting (to be honest I even forgot Kruger was the coach at Okla), UNC is a bit dated to be interesting to anyone other than us I agree with you, they don't move teams several seeds to make up storylines, but when it's there, they definitely go for them.
