BYU may be the best ever team seeded 14. 26 wins in a three bid conference. Carlino is a UCLA transfer who is a stud along with brandon davies.

I honestly don't get what BYU is doing as a 14 seed, I didn't expect them to the second to last team in. I expected an 11 seed at the lowest for them.

But being paired up with Iona might really hurt them.

They arent truly a '14 seed' They seeded them that way because they had to end up in a Thursday/Saturday bracket. They cant play on Sundays.

From ESPN:

The selection committee said BYU and Iona were 14 seeds because of the need to have the Cougars play into a Thursday-Saturday regional if they won. But they also wanted to make sure the Cougars weren’t near a WCC team or out West (too far to travel from Dayton). So that limited the Cougs and dumped them in nearby Louisville. But it also means that Marquette is getting one of the best 14 seeds that a No. 3 seed has seen with the Cougars coming back to beat Iona.
