8th seed
If you had told me after the losses to Lamar and BSU that we would end up 8th seed in the NCAA tournament, I would not have believed it for a second.

Arkansas. How can a team that goes 7-9 in their conference get an at-large bid. Freaking ridiculous.

I don't understand some of the seeding. Duke is a 6? USC a 5? Stanford an 11 seed? They shouldn't have even earned a bid. Personally I am fine with an 8 seed. But playing as an 8 seed in Xavier's backyard? It seems kind of low based on all of the projections as well. I thought a 7 for UNLV was kind of a low seed.

Arkansas? I thought you were talking about Duke.

I was absolutely furious when I saw that we got an 8. I was not surprised. What is truly outrageous though is UNLV as a 7, Creighton with a 10, while Vanderbilt has a 6, USC has a 5, Virginia has a 4. I wonder why they even try to appear as if they are objective. Clearly they are not. |

Not only an 8th seed, but to get in the same bracket as Ohio State! Ouch.
