Selection Day Surprises

That is a ridiculous statement, in my opinion.

Hit and run post of the year. Of the friendly fire variety no less.

Edit -- I thought you meant that Dayton would have gone 6-10 in the Big Ten schedule. Now I get that you mean a 6-10 seed. I agree. My apologies.

ESPN has Vanderbilt listed as the most over-seeded team. By their strength of record metric, they say the team shouldn't even be in.

B10 didn't deserve too much respect this season.

The deserved more than that. It seems it i intended to reinforce their narrative

Vandy got in by beating Florida 3 times. Not too shabby.

Wow, that means that Iowa was one of the first four out. Did not have them anywhere near the Dance, so that was a shock.

Not really. They did go 10-8 during the season in conference

Wichita State got hosed.

Only sort of. They are in a 7/10 against Dayton which will likely be an upset

WSU wil hammer Dayton. Miller's wife will be on twitter immediately following.....

But Wisconsin was an 8 seed, were ranked 24th, went further in the BTT and blew us out of the water. Seems like maybe just Wisconsin was not very highly respected I assume due to the way they finished the season.

Seems like the committee didn't really take into account Wisky's late B1G slate swoon being due in part to Koenig's gimpy leg.

This doesn't account for their second half surge. They will be a formidable first round matchup for us - I don't think any of our bigs match up well defensively with their 7 foot center who can also shoot threes.
