Good to be a 12 seed this year

3-1 and really should have been 4-0, but kid didn’t hit his free throws.


Sucks to be the 5 seed

Auburn survival was a airball at the buzzer.

With a few second left kid had 3 FT’s to win in it, down 2.  He hit only one of the three.

The thing with the 12 is that these are some strong mid-major teams, often with a high major transfer or two.  Almost better to get a 6 or 7 seed (or 10 or 12) as you are seeded against high Major middle of the conference teams. 

Lots of upsets today.  Some great hoops.

Uhm, yeah.  I said last week, give us the 6 or 7, not the 5.  The 5 sucks.

Yep. Should have took the lay up.

The 12 seeds this year are ranked

34th Oregon
43rd Murray State
53rd New Mexico State
58th Liberty

better rated than some of the 11's and 10's.  The midmajors always get hurt by schedule, to.
