And they're in a potential S16 with Florida?  They definitely should have been higher than a 5. 

Committee chair had no answer for it:

Florida may have to play Houston in Houston in the Elite 8. I guess because it's not on their home court and Rice is the official host they can do that.

I'm all about any team playing RED, of course, and LIU (always liked Rocket Rod Strickland)

Interesting that StJ's goes back-to-back as BE and BET champs, no better than a 5 tells you their SOS was meh as is the opinion of the BE as a conference this year.

They also beat no one of consequnce in the non-conference though. 2-4 against power conference teams with the wins being against Ole Miss and Baylor.

Avtually their SOS was fine, but SJ lost all the games out of conference that would have made a difference. But, when you have a team of transfers, it takes a while.

Correct.  That was a total non-answer.  They also play a tough McNeese St. team.  Basically they got hosed.

Great, something else people will bitch about when MU gets some transfers and loses a game.

Vanderbilt.

Would love to see them go deep. Team plays hard and always gives an incredible effort.

After that, the Big East.

And, Lincoln Nebraska is a reasonable distance to Oklahoma City for a possible 2nd round matchup.

I've been busy all day.   What seed did Marquette get?  What region are they in?

Ask your mom. She's only a flight of stairs away.

[The Sultan]

Ask your mom. She's only a flight of stairs away.

Because he lives in her basement? Or because he's holding her captive down there?

Bad seed in the nether regions. That about sums it up.

Apparently Nebraska not really  beating anyone in well over a month had no impact on the committee. They split with Iowa though.

Well, I was speaking about a team almost entirely made up of transfers other than Zuby.
