Let me get this straight. Baylor is the lowest #1 seed, so that means Kentucky was the highest #2 seed. Do not get me wrong...I love our bracket and we have a favorable path to the Elite 8...but this makes no sense.
No Texas A&M. Arkansas might as well stay home being in that bracket they got. I initially thought we had the best bracket, but I should have known Kentucky would be essentially given a Final Four berth unless they figure out how to screw it up.
Not my point necessesarily. We have gotten better, but we still struggle against elite defensive teams. Games against TTU, Texas, and Nova illustrate this. Long, long scoring droughts in all of those games. It's been our biggest weakness all year.
I can excuse Nova getting 2 seed since we got beat head to head. Yet head to head don't matter with Auburn and Kentucky getting 2 seed over us. ESPN surprisingly is coming to our defense. I really hope Bilas interrogates Cooley on this with their upcoming interview.
