Shocker not! The committee had their minds made up after friday.

I hate that this whole thing totally crushed how awesome this weekend was. SO angry at this committee.

So lame that this is the case. Would it really have been that hard for the committee to draw up two brackets, one on case UM won and one in case UW did?

UC San Diego number two in the nation in defensive turnover rate. They are also very small and haven’t played anyone. Number 36 in KenPom. Treated incredibly badly by the committee. Arizona a four? Wisconsin a three? There are no apparent standards.

That would require them to do their job. They worked Wednesday through Friday. I guess that was exhausting for them.
