Well you and Ohio State have to go in the Baylor and Gonzaga regions, so you're gonna be the lowest 2 seeds by default. But I'm surprised Ohio State lept y'all. Still, Iowa vs. Gonzaga round 2 should be a hell of a match if it gets there.

Seems like quite a tumble for a team that was top 10 3 weeks ago. OU lost 4 of their last 5, yeah, but none against bad teams. I thought they'd be around 6.

Would much rather be in the baylor region and the last time we played OSU we stomped them. Also better in KenPom, NET, etc

Should be a good game, Purdue should win but UNT has some nice momentum. Selection crew is pushing for that Purdue/Nova 2019 rematch in the second round though, I was just losing my poo poo constantly during that one

Rick Pitino is in. Kentucky and Louisville are not. (Cards are first alternate, so they could be in)

Also, very glad not to see Duke as an alternate, thought there'd be some way they would try to sneak them in.

I'm just glad they went back to the old selection show format.

The whole "Announce all the teams alphabetically" nonsense from 2018 was just infuriatingly bad and stupid.

people trying to conspiracy theory about duke faking covid when the pandemic is still on going and the players are putting themselves at increased risk of infection to make schools a bunch of money was always pretty gross and didn't even make sense if you looked at their resume. They needed to make a run in their conference tourney to have a shot, basically no one had them in

Rutgers is 7 spots higher than Clemson in the Kempoms. Therefore I expect them to win.

I honestly didn't think Michigan would make it to the Sweet 16 based on a neutral bracket in my head, but sure initially seems like a pretty good draw. Catching the 16-16 play-in seems lucky as hell. Would've pegged them for the rare 1-16 letdown based on how the season ended.
