How is it rude? ASU without Macey wasn't close to the same team. so should seeding/at-large bids be determined by what a team has done on the court during the season, or simply by what people think about the players themselves? It should have been based on what the team that they sent to the tournament had done. They had almost 2 months of track record. Are you arguing just to be argumentative? They sent ASU to the tournament and they barely scored 50 points against a decent but unexceptional at-large team.

Can USC lose its seed?

They have a huge RPI gap mathematically. It will be hard for them to fall below 11

"yes, you swept your conference matches, but then your key player got hurt, so we're not letting you into the tournament"

I think if Washington wins two this week they squeeze into a seed. Thoughts?

Would the seeding committee slot ILL & BYU on the same side of the bracket to avoid a potential all B1G final? Do they, assuming formful early rounds seek quarterfinal matches that will be fan favorite rivalries?

Utah sweeps Usc making Utah a lock & pulling Denver's RPI to 40 to get them an at-large too.

There may be 2 cracks forming in the at-large door.
san diego losing has dropped their RPI from 47 to 52.
Good news for K-state who beat TCU & improved their RPI from 52 to 47. K-state has leap frogged over san diego in RPI.
If Usc beats Ucla, the bruins will be below 0.500 & ineligible for the Ncaas.
If Ucla loses the last spot may be between 49 Hawaii & 52 san diego.

Really starting to believe that the Gophers are going to host all the way through and have a clear path to the championship. Seem to be getting better and better, the regions look like they match-up favorably and this team just has a feel of destiny. So excited. Of course this all assumes we can beat Penn State - they might be a little underrated versus previous years. Still #4 in RPI so excited and nervous.
