Louisville got screwed, no idea why. Kentucky is vastly overseeded. They are not that good. I will be surprised if

Kentucky was just 10-8 in that conference. So crazy they got a 3.

Kentucky had 11 Quad 1 wins this season (11-10 overall vs Quad 1). I think this

Again my issue is they said WV didn't make it due to injuries. Kentucky has not been the same team and has

They will always move the goalposts to suit their needs

Talk about in state friction. Unreal sec bias.

There is always bias

It looks to me like the committee is signaling how heavily it weights SOS, since

Japan Coug

Mar 17, 1:29pm

UNC SOS = 41, WVU SOS = 30

Indy Coug

Mar 17, 1:30pm

Yes, as I said, I think WVU got screwed and UNC got rewarded unfairly. The

Does anyone truly believe UNC gets in if their AD isn't the Chairman of the Tourney Committee?

I don't think that had anything to do with it. He was not allowed to participate

Japan Coug

Mar 17, 3:56pm

But he is allowed to participate in discussions about all other teams that might have gotten the spot his team did.

Spiff

Not when those discussions are in the context of comparisons to his school, or

Japan Coug

Mar 17, 5:08pm

Then he should have recused himself from those discussions as well. Bottom line: ADs shouldn't be on the Committee

Spiff

Mar 17, 5:09pm

He did recuse himself. Or more accurately, he was asked to leave the room during

Japan Coug

Mar 17, 5:12pm

His absence is still noted. His mere presence on the committee is an influence on all discussions surrounding his school

Spiff

Mar 17, 5:15pm

It's probably not blatant talk about getting "my team" into the tourney, but

They may say that, but then a different committee will value something

Fair enough — I don't disagree.

Japan Coug

Just keep moving the target to justify whatever they want.

BINGO!!!!! You just hit the nail on the head.

Louisville is weird, but Kentucky is a result of what everybody says they want

TCuz

The committee also has said that injuries and health are strongly considered.

whoneedscorners?

Mar 17, 1:35pm

Just not when your AD in on the committee.

kimdaddy35

Mar 17, 1:36pm

Kentucky’s resume metrics: KPI 9 SOR 12 WAB 9. Clearly point to a 3 seed.

TCuz

Mar 17, 1:41pm

But that is based on pre-conference wins with a fully healthy squad which they are not.

Sure makes you wonder.

Maybe the Kentucky governor can sue to put them both where they belong

I don't think any ADs should be on the committee.

Kentucky is getting a lot of leeway for the stretch when they had no PGs

Coop

Mar 17, 2:47pm

Oh, that’s rich! Ignore a 9 win streak w/ 4 over ranked teams, but get dinged for early season opponents. Hilarious.

Louisville is definitely overrated in the AP Poll
