Digger Phelps can't understand how we got a 6 seed and thinks either Iowa or TN will beat us. I've never liked him.

Total disrespect I agree.

6 bids for the A10 though. The Big East can suck it.

Really can't blame him.

Though I think we beat Iowa. Not as confident against Tennessee.

Nerves already building though. Tennessee and Iowa will have chips on their shoulders. Both have the ability to play at a high level.

At least our guys will get to watch them. Havent seen Tennessee but have read they are big, slow-paced, pound it inside team like FSU... don't like that.

It is clear that teams who play challenging schedules out of conference (which we did this year) get rewarded. We play an excellent out of conference and won games and got rewarded. SMU played junk and was left out.

Sorry if this was posted a few pages back, but it's clear the RPI was weighted extremely heavily along with OOC schedule, and the conference tournaments were not weighted more heavily than any other games.
