refs doing absolutely everything they can to make UW a top seed...

MSU is the best team in the country when healthy. They could win the whole thing.

I've been saying that to my Spartan friends who were despairing as MSU limped through the B1G.   2 players who have played every game.   Haven't started their original starting 5 since early December.   All of the pieces are there.

I agree on the seeding, but I do think Louisville is a better team all around. UW is a strange team this year. When they are good, they can beat anyone. When they are bad, they look really bad, especially on defense.

Agreed.  Louisville is a better team.  But if you're looking at seeding Wisconsin deserves a higher seed.  Just because they beat Virginia when they weren't playing well doesn't mean that you discount the win over Virginia (referencing a different post), and just because 2 of Florida's players were ineligible doesn't mean you disregard that win.  Wisconsin has beaten 2 number 1 seeds and another number 2 seed.  Louisville's best win is over a 5 and 7 seed.

Might as well have UW Madison playing in Madison.....same effect.

It's what you get for earning a high seed.

Partly true, but it has a lot more to putting fannies in the seats. Bucky was going to get two games in Milwaukee (as they did a few years back) even if they were a 5 or 6 seed. NCAA hates its national games played in front of 10,000 empty seats, and tickets sold to scalpers doesn't necessarily translate into people in the seats.
