How is Illinois State not in this?!? We have a great win over Illinois and just a few bad losses to Evansville (2X), Memphis, Valpo, UIC, Drake, Cincinnati, and Bradley. Committee trying to screw us of a 5th straight tournament 🙄🙄🙄

I would be (happily) surprised if NW made it into the tourney.

Looking at the Lincoln Regional, there are a lot of interesting story lines I would love to see play out (and some I would be scared to play out hah)!
Potential for Kentucky vs Nebraska to continue the sweet16/elite8 tradition. Potential for GATECH vs Pitt sweet 16. Iowa State and former Husker player CJL in town Nebraska vs Skylar Fields potential (I would love to watch her in person again) Pitt, Towsown and PSU all together - wow!

There was one thing in particular I noticed while doing this. There were instances where I had an option in terms of the 5-8 seeds (teams who are going to subregionals, these are seeds who are NOT hosting). For example, I could have chosen to send Georgia Tech (6 seed) to Florida (3 seed). But I chose not to do that, because I had already planned on Florida State going there. (Both Florida State AND Georgia Tech cannot go to Florida, but it does not change the # of flights). My concern is the committee is going to prioritize geography with the seeded teams first and then fill in around that. I'd rather do what works best for RPI balance and also max out geography with the 3-4 seeds rather than 2 seeds, just let those fall as it is. Another example of this is Stanford. I could have sent (7-seed) Pepperdine to Stanford (2-seed), but I had already planned on Loyola Marymount going there (both Pep and LMU can't go to Stanford). It will be interesting to see what the committee does. Depending on how the seeds play out, this may or may not be a thing that we can analyze, because it possibly won't matter. Agree - the committee should be doing this, and it will allow for a more fair bracket. I hope they do this.

This is not true at all. Committee is incredibly forgiving of mid-major schools taking sub-100 losses.

Those 2 seeds look very strong. Not sure which one a regional host would be excited to see?
