Pac-12 teams were over-seeded. When Minnesota lost to Oregon at home they weren't overseeded, were they? I certainly didn't think so. I've said for years tournament results don't justify seedings. I know you're just trolling here, but maybe give us a list of what you think the 16 seeds have been to double down? |

I don’t think UCLA playing Rider yesterday made any difference in today’s match. All the teams in that range could beat each other, and without home court advantage riding on the seeds, it didn’t make much difference who had the number in front of their name. And yes, I was just trolling because of all the complaining by P12 fans. |

Looking like we have our reasons now. Yeah, I knew people were going to post stuff like this. Me: "With these opponents, it's very probable the PAC teams are going to lose some matches" They do lose some matches. You: "See? They suck." I don't know who is saying PAC sucks...I think most are just saying they were overrated, and undeserving of their higher ranking. I thought UCLA played an awesome match against a quality BYU team. It wasn't this loss that validates the overrating perspective. Utah & WSU should never have lost if they truly were 14 & 15 or even higher ranked. Washington should never had issues with Dayton & Notre Dame played Oregon harder than I would have guessed prior to the match. Not counting any upsets, B1G should have 4 in the sweet 8, and easily could have 6. PAC with 1, SEC with 2 & Big12 with 1. I think a fair person could say a 9 vs 8 doesn't have an upset... |

Looking like we have our reasons now. At the end of the day, you beat the ones you are suppose to beat (lower ranked/seeded) and take some that you weren't supposed to have taken...to claim being cheated when they were paired with inferior opponents yet still lost or struggled, just because someone else got an even more inferior opponent, is on its face hilarious... The argument itself is crazy too, so they’re telling us that their teams deserve higher seeds aka they’re elite teams but they need to play weaker opponents to prove that they’re elite. Last time I checked an elite team should take care of any opponent specially in the earlier stages when any opponent is still inferior to you even if they’re slightly better than other team’s opponents |

Is this the most top seeded teams that made it into the sweet 16?
14/16

May the powers that be schedule the rest of the events on broadcast channels of ESPN that most of us can watch/record. And not lose the start of the WI - Baylor BYU match Saturday as something else overruns the time slot. I'm tired LOL and they both start with "B"  |

Schedule for Saturday/Sunday is out I'm baffled that Florida/OSU and WKU/UK are the ESPN2 matches. |

LOL, of course this would happen, but I have my appointment to get the COVID vaccine at right about the same time the Huskies play.

OP is updated.
I don't have a link for Wisc-BYU yet and the stats on statbroadcast aren't live yet. I didnt like the NCAA stats (the video player is annoying)

I agree, maybe they are going with the Flordia/OSU match to feature the two women head coches angle or something. |
