That seems like a slap in the face. We haven't lost a game since Nov and we won our conference tourney. I was hoping for a 4 seed, but 5 at worst. Geez.

The metrics have us at worst as a 5 seed. The polls suggest at worst a 4 seed. We won regular season and tournament titles in an excellent basketball conference and that lands us a 6 seed????

Break away from the NCAA.

The NCAA wanted to mess us over on the seedings. Didn't make a difference when they were set.

And they made sure we could play a team that beat us in the first round.

No, NCAA guys just don't give a [deleted] bout us. Be happy we even made it.

Maybe win more than 1 top 50 games before brackets are set

Not to mention it was freaking out about a Louisville match up as a press zone would be trouble. We can beat Baylor if we can deny the ball inside.

Maybe schedule a lot more Top 50 games and win a few. In the end, we can't depend on our conference to deliver high-quality games.

What if they give cincy a #5 seed? What would be the reply to that?

I think we earned a 5 seed-but under the NCAA factors I have expected this for a month. We simply don't have enough Top 50 wins. In fact, the other day I said if the NCAA screws us I hope they send us to Tulsa. I see this as an opportunity
