Chattanooga led in scoring by Malachi Smith from Belleville. Sophomore guard. Study up Trent.

They got the BIG regular season champ treatment.

Haven't read the whole thread, but I assumed our first round tournament loss meant that Wisky would get that treatment over us.

I’m not mad about our draw - and certainly don’t believe anyone in the committee is trying to make compelling stories around a four seed with “they upset them 25 years ago” or “Sampson stole their recruit 20 years ago”.

That said, I would much rather have Wisconsin’s spot.

And Wisky as a 3 gets Colgate, LSU and Auburn. Lol. compare that to our gauntlet and yes thank you for the A$$ ramming NCAA committee

That's the 3 seed vs the 4 seed. We earned our issues.

Almost every team has been seeded where they were projected so far (including those in our path), and higher seeds have been playing closer to home for several years now.

What is everyone complaining about?

They lost first round too though

IU in the first four. Interesting

New Creation · Mar 13, 2022

rather play Arizona at full strength then Baylor.

Not sure how Wisky got that hook up. I can see the argument for their 3 seed but to get the Midwest

We need to play with a chip on our shoulder and forget everyone else

That's the idea. Where were we last year? What was our seed last year? I like us being the underdog role. People are already penciling Chattanooga in.

UCLA / AKron.. in

Their only Quad 1 win came a couple hours ago. They were projected to be a 5 in the bracket matrix for weeks.

They are good for sure but their level of competition has been weak compared to say - us.

Ramrod2010 · Mar 13, 2022

So were we ranked as 2nd best 4th seed?

eas23 · Mar 13, 2022

Lol. Akron got a 13 and it's not against us. Conspiracy theorists in shambles.

tcb13 · Mar 13, 2022

Purdue's rxn was hilarious, they thought they were getting the 2 and going to Indy

Thought the same thing. I would trade places on the bracket with Iowa in a heartbeat. Providence is way overseeded. Houston is way underseeded.

Disagree. Providence certainly over-achieved and pulled some rabbits out of their hat, but they won the Big East. Houston has one quad one win, and it’s against a team that beat them twice this year (and their seed was locked in before they beat Memphis today).

Keisersose · Mar 13, 2022

Wisconsin had a great break only facing us once.

Manual3for4peat · Mar 13, 2022

Purdue lost the Indianapolis seeding.

i am surpised they didnt put akron up against the illini, but these story lines dont just happen..

I agree. We earned what we got.

D1959 · Mar 13, 2022

So what’s the advantage of winning the Big Ten and beating the team that you shared the title with only to get a lower seed?

jmwillini · Mar 13, 2022

#3 Purdon't
#3 Whisky
#4 Illinois
#5 Iowa (Idiots out walking around)
#7 Oh how I hate Ohio State
#7 Mich St Izzos
#11 Rutgers
#11 Muck Fichigan
#12 Indiana Loosiers

Hopingfor500 · Mar 13, 2022

Wow.....the Big Ten got punked. Purdue got moved away from Indianapolis? No top 2 seed?

Again. Wisky got lucky only playing us once

Highly mediocre. None earned anything higher.
