uw wins pac-10 tourney goes from a 3-4 to a 1
arizona loses and goes from a 2 to a 3

syracuse wins tourney stays a 4
uconn loses in tourney and jumps to a 2

wake beats duke by 2 games loses in tourney and goes from a 2 to a 1
duke wins acc tourneyu and goes from a 2-3 to a 1 seed

not sure what the criteria is but i dont understand the value-nonn value of winning-losing in the tourneu

seems like they are valuing the conf-tourney's more this year. I think no matter what UCONN was going to stay at 2. Syracuse wasn't playing great before the tourney and I really think they went from a 6 to a 4.

How about this FACT:

# 1 seeds this year:
one finished third in its conference (2 games behind two other team, one of which did not get a #1 seed)

one finished second in its conference (1 game behind another team, who got a #3 seed.

seriously....arizona was on the bubble for a 1 seed (very unlikely however) had they won the pac-10 tourney....uw was looking at a 3-4 seed...uw gets lucky vs asu in OT and vs stanford then beats arizona in the final 5 mins and THEY are a 1 seed????? Why?

uw is good but how they became a 1 seed is beyond me

same goes for uconn, how they are a 2 seed is beyond me as well.

Arizona drew a very tough first round matchup bud. . . but I will say this, if they get past Utah State, I think they have a very good chance to play Illinois in the Elite Eight and likely get their ass handed to them but still. . . not as concerned about OSU as some other teams.

Should be interesting. . . I think Arizona ended up in a favorable bracket minus Illinois and their first round matchup

Nickel Az wont beat OSU. I actually do think they would beat Illinois although the Chicago factor would trouble me. IMO Illinois got handed the worst possible 2 and 3 seeds for them to face. Looks like a poor couple of minutes cost AZ a trip out west and a probable Final Four spot.
