Are there 36 teams better than Wichita St.? I know rankings=/=seedings but looks like they got a raw deal. I figured they'd be a 7-8 range. Dayton should have their hands full

UCLA vs UNC could be epic. UCLA is really good.
Agreed

If Balls thumb is healthy, look for UCLA to win the whole ball of wax
Heard it here first

They'd have home court Advantage in Phoenix f Wildcats don't make it

I'm pleased. UNC's half of the bracket is favorable and the bottom will hopefully pick each other off in tough games.

Glad there's a chance of only having to play Kentucky OR UCLA and not both.

UNC should be #2 out West, with both Arizona and Gonzaga getting #1s. No respect for the PAC-12.
We hear this uninformed take every year and yet folks continue to have such short memories. The mighty PAC-12 had 7 teams in the tournament last year. 1 of them made it past the first round. Meanwhile the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 were, predictably, basically the ACC tournament.

The Pac 10 hasn't been to the final four since 2008. LOL

If Butler and Wichita switched conferences they would switch seeds
What does this even mean? Butler beat Arizona, Cincinnati, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Utah, Vermont, and Bucknell out of conference.

If you want to know how Butler has become a factor in the last 15 years look at the neutral site pre-conference tournaments. They win those tournaments almost every year.

Wichita lost to Louisville and Michigan State in their pre-conf tournament. That sealed their fate.

Your fate sealed to a 10 seed by losing to a #2 seed and a Team Izzo squad with a healthy Eron? isn't exactly embrassing.

No one good will schedule WSU (outside of tourneys).

As I said before, stroke of genius by Butler to get invited to Big East

I have no idea why you've chosen Wichita State to make whatever point you are attempting. Your original statement about Butler and Wichita State is simply false.

Wichita State has boatloads of money and could buy games if they want. Marshall makes 3x what Holtmann makes. They are two terrible teams to compare with one another in 2017.

Michigan State spent November and December experimenting with rotations and figuring out how good their young guys are. Harris is nice player and all but getting MSU in Nov/Dec was good timing.
