Not so blind resumes:

Random overrated ACC 4 seed:

Record: 23-10
RPI: 20
Road/Neutral: 8-7
SOS: 8
vs Top 25: 4-5
vs Top 50: 6-7
vs Top 100: 11-9
Sub-100 losses: 1 (vs RPI 133)

Random underrated Big East 6 seed:

Record: 25-8
RPI: 19
Road/Neutral: 12-5
SOS: 42
vs Top 25: 3-3
vs Top 50: 6-3
vs Top 100: 10-8
Sub-100 losses: 0

Yes, the ACC team (Duke, if you didn't already figure that out) had a better SOS, but Seton Hall's resume was better in nearly every other category.

VU, XU and SH must get to S16 with X and VU getting to E8 before we start getting more respect. Really disappointed, particularly given CU AD is on the committee. I really think PC is going to Pull off the stunner this year

Looking at the list that way, makes the seeds make a bit more sense.

Really ecstatic about our 5 teams which made it. I was worried about Butler but they're in. This is great for the league. The extended show was a travesty, though. The brackets were leaked on Twitter and I think someone at CBS found out so they were rushing through the last 2 regions. Congratulations once again. Let's win some games. Go BE!!!

amen on the 2 hour show.....

With how putrid the bottom teams did late- Butler did way more than enough....

Providence fans that want 2-4 section 228 row A PM me. Competing against UNC for tickets will be a bitch on Stubhub!

Glad to see that we'll have a Big East team to root for in the afternoon session as well.
