That'll help my chances of being wrong

I don't follow all of those well enough to know 'em all, but No. 9 seems awfully high for F%cky to me. I'm not even saying we should be seeded higher than they are (but we should), I'm just saying, "Really? They are one of the 9 best teams in the entire country?"

They absolutely have one of the top 10 resumes.

I think he is underselling us at 18, though.

NOVA being caps for winning the BEast and not us is questionable at the moment

[TVDirector]

Up to 13 in net rankings. 
Lots of teams we've already played in top 35 or so.

Oklahoma, NC State and @ Iowa are good looking wins for Wisconsin. Stanford and @Xavier to toss in as well.

Lunardi has us at 5 currently

That would be a great bracket for MU

[The Lens]

5 BE teams and Butler 1st 4 out.  I'll take that in a down year.

[GB Warrior]

Going to assume Bucky's nap against Minnesota came in after the website went to print

I don't know about Florida State. Length all over the floor and great at forcing turnovers. I'm not sold they're great, but that's a tough matchup for MU.

[MUBigDance]

yep, I think 5 is fine but a bit concerned about 6,7,8,9,9 - makes sweet-16 a bit difficult...need at least one in there. 8,9 face a 1 (or the second 16 in history to beat a 1). 6,7 require a decent draw.

BE rep needs to be maintained.

That was my first thought upon seeing the bracket.

And that was my second.

Nitpicky, but SHU as an 8 seed and SJU a 9 are a bit high, IMO.

Pretty sure Wisconsin was #9 is his seed list last weekend, so it probably does include Gopher game.

Going to assume Bucky's nap against Minnesota came in after the website went to print

speaking of that, got a chuckle out of this analysis of Happ's FT form from beckyville:

Stand on your tippy toes
Bend your right arm to a right degree angle
Bend your wrist backwards, totally flat
Left hand on top of the ball
Left arm bent at a 90 degree right angle
Elbow pointed at upper deck left corner scoreboard
Ball directly in front of your nose
Left thumb in line with your eyebrows
Bend your knees at a 30 degree angle. Wait. Make it 32 degrees...

THE SCHWAB'S FIRST BRACKET OF THE YEAR

https://twitter.com/CBBonFOX/status/1082309463841792000

[BM1090]

Schwab was so bad last year. But he could improve as I think he's pretty new to it unlike Palm who has been awful forever.

The link below is the guy who does Yahoo/NBC Sports and he's usually very good. 5 seed as of today.

Andy Katz's latest has MU as a 6 seed.
Also in his field are St. John's (4), Seton Hall (6) and Nova (8).
No love for Creighton or Butler (KenPom #34 and #39, respectively, ahead of the Hall and St. John's.)

That has S16 written all over it.

Probably Elite 8 since Rider will take care of UVA in the first round.
