So much to process here. 1st - I actually kinda feel bad for Villanova. As No. 1 overall seed, they have a chance to face an underseeded UW.by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 9:38:11 PM -

3rd- seeing a lot of tweets re: UW losing streak to end the year. Here's the thing - they're like a knockout puncher.../1/by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 9:42:52 PM

Virginia Tech is No. 44 in the KenPom. Hokies are No. 21 in adjusted O efficiency and No. 125 in adjusted D.by Jim Polzin via twitter 3/12/2017 9:43:26 PM -
/2/ - but they can play with ANYONE. Not your typical 8.by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 9:43:34 PM

So not only does UW get a seed that's worse than expected, it gets sent to a Thursday-Saturday site after playing on Sunday. Interesting.by Jim Polzin via twitter 3/12/2017 9:44:20 PM

It is stunning that Minnesota is a 5-seed and UW is an 8-seed. Gophers are on upset alert vs. Middle Tennessee.by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 9:55:33 PM

Wisconsin beats them twice, finishes higher than them in the regular season and the tournament and is three seeds lower. OK. Got it! twitter.com/ByAndrewWagner…by Benjamin Worgull via twitter 3/12/2017 9:56:20 PM

5-seed for Minnesota...playing in Milwaukee...Gophers are 3 lines better than Wisconsin. ????by Zach Heilprin via twitter 3/12/2017 9:56:59 PM

The Committee is clearly trolling all of the bracketologists.by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 9:58:47 PM

Minnesota, which lost twice to UW, finished below UW in standings and didn't advance as far in BTT, a 5 seed. UW an 8. Committee loves RPI.by Jim Polzin via twitter 3/12/2017 9:58:49 PM

And don't forget - the Committee has HATED Wisconsin all season. buckys5thquarter.com/2017/2/12/1458…by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 10:00:40 PM

Doesn't feel like reasonable seed for No2 team in B10 even in 'down' yr. Will make it easier to play with chip on shoulder & shovel in handby Mike Lucas via twitter 3/12/2017 10:00:46 PM

"Dubious" is one way to describe Wisconsin as an 8-seed. Could think of stronger terms. Also-if I'm NOVA #1 overall...not happy opposite UW twitter.com/btntomdienhart…by Mike Heller via twitter 3/12/2017 10:02:37 PM

Great incentive to play into B10's Sunday finals when "awarded" Thurs/Saturday series. Makes as much sense as getting worse seed than Minnyby Mike Lucas via twitter 3/12/2017 10:09:14 PM

MICHIGAN vs. Oklahoma State.

You can fault them for not winning at Creighton & losing to UNC, but not the fact Oklahoma, Syracuse & Georgetown were crap.by Zach Heilprin via twitter 3/12/2017 10:42:19 PM
