I am not complaining about our seed, but...

how are we behind Xavier?

a one-point loss and a one-point win vs Temple,

Best win is 9th place in the SEC Auburn.

I don't get it.

I don't get Louisville either...

Iowa State?

I guess if we had a stronger conference...

I agree with you on the Xavier point

agreed on the Xavier point as well.

as for Louisville.....they are the #4 6th seed and BG is the #1 7th seed and are in the same region. Basically, the selection committee did BG a HUGE favor by giving Louisville the nod as the #4 6th seed because if it goes the other way, BG does not play in East Lansing and quite frankly, Vandy is a better 2nd round opponent to face than Arizona St. would be. By the time Bg would potentially have to face ASU (a better team than Vandy in my honest opinion)....they would have much more confidence and swagger...which is not a good thing for anyone who has to play BG. :wink:

I agree about Xavier--saw them play twice on TV, once during the regular season and for their conference title. Wasn't impressed. They have a potentially great freshman post, but they are not as good a team as BG.
