7 seed garbage.
Least its in cbus.
Least its in cbus.
In Columbus, that’s a virtual home game/ Tennessee is a tough draw but it’s the ncaa tourney your gonna have tough draws
No doubt, just felt we should have been a 6. We are certainly better than multiple teams above us

The 7 seed is absolute crap but actually a very favorable draw especially since we're playing in C-Bus. That's huge! A good draw for us too. Iowa has limped to the finishing line their game fell off the last 8-10 games of season. They don't play any D so Jarron should carve them up. Tennessee is overrated a bit IMO as evidenced today and we match up very well with them. Should be interesting!

Iowa can bang 3s though, but yes very winnable

2 underseeded teams goin at it then. If people thought too many Cincy fans were critical of Cronin, that's nothing compared to how many want Fran McCaffrey gone at Iowa lol

I think SEC is overrated. They're a very good team but about as good as Houston probably a little better. Very similar to Houston actually. They got absolutley ran off the court by Auburn today in basically a home court game for them. They lost to probably the worst Kansas team in a while. They let Memphis score at will on them, although they just scored more than Memphis lol. A beatable #2 IMO for our style pf play. Plus Mick's 2-0 vs Rick Barnes teams. Interesting we'll be playing a home and home series with the Vols in '19 and '20.

As long as we are stuck with a 7 seed (and it is unfortunate the AAC tourney doesn't finish on Saturday), this is the best 7 seed to get. MSU, UM, and UK would all worry me more as a 2 seed, and Iowa has been a hot mess of late. As things go, it could be worse.
Michigan State has the most room to complain. Deserved a 1 seed, got a 2 in Duke's region. Meanwhile a team they beat 3 times got a 2 in Gonzaga's region. That is some horseshit, and I despise MSU.

I don't think we're underseeded. Our resume plus metrics fit right in with the other 7 seeds. We have by far the lowest Kenpom ranking of any 7 or better seed. That cancels out our slightly better quadrant records.
I would much rather play Iowa in Columbus than St Mary's in Hartford. Kansas St has to play UC Irvine in California. Wisconsin has to play Oregon in California. Auburn has to play New Mexico St in Utah. Florida St has to play Vermont in Connecticut. All of those teams have bigger gripes than us.

I agree. I think we got the best possible 7 seed. A 6 would have been nice, but that ship kind of sailed when they dropped the last two regular season games.

Tennessee looked VERY BAD today, proved what a tight defense can do to them. They were making unforced errors all over the place after they were rattled. Not happy with the seeding, but I’ll take the shot. Gotta get by Iowa first

Maybe on location, but I wouldn’t say they have bigger gripes on seeding at all
