The C+ 12-seed is from one of the two best conferences in the world... but the 15-seed?  Beat a 2-, a 10-, and a 6-seed to get there; 13-3 in the 14th-best conference; RPI 43.  Looks like that coach is just hot at the right time.

I'm the 2 he beat, and I wanted no part of him when I saw the draw.  7 upperclassmen with all the seniors having A+ IQ off and def.  Better question is how the heck he ended up as a 15.  That team is much too good to be ranked that low

RPI 43, I have no complaints with the seeding.  He took multiple losses in a weak conference...

wasn't complaining that he got a 15, was more wondering how a team that good ended up with a season only worthy of a 15?

in d1,  1v2,5v2,12v2,1v3 so other than the upset of 12 beating 1, everything else looks reasonably normal

...hate this, though.  There are nine teams with an A+ prestige right now, mine being one of them.  Another one of them is in my conference - I swept him 2-0.  And now I'm probably going to need to beat five of the others in the NT to win the title.

Also interesting: the pairings are shaping up so I'd have to win three straight rematches from non-con to win the title.

I'm with girt on this.  The #1 that lost is in my conference, and his terrible-BH team faced an uptempo press for the first time all year.
yup, that was me.  not a good match up for us at all.  the funny thing is that despite having lousy BH/P, we somehow avoided the bad TO game all year... until then.  UAF had 7 more TOs in the first round game than in any other game the rest of the season.

my team is probably better overall, and would win 7-8 times out of 10, but we definitely got what we deserved.  if I had to play the game over again, i'd have done a couple things differently.  hats off to the Miles coach on that one.

The water finally found its level - the Final Four is, by seed, 1v4 and 4v6... but it's four A+ programs, and by RPI, it's 1v2 and 4v6.

Using the equivalent RPI's at the beginning of the tournament,  in RL your Final Four would've been Kansas, Kentucky, Purdue, and Arizona.

I don't think anyone would really lodge a complaint that any of those last four teams (in Naismith) made it, and congrats to anadeau on the repeat NC.

Thanks corn - I'm also very appreciative that you when you compared St. Rose and Bryant, you made chovy be UNC.

Well, that was partly an overall-success thing, and partly I know you're a Dukie.

I would say I'm disappointed I got the UNC tag as I'm a Duke fan as well.  Also, anadeau has long since passed me in Naismith just like this game has.  Either way, congrats anadeau.  Back-to-back is damn near impossible in this game nowadays.
