UT

Tennesse gets a 2 seed at (21-7). They seemed upset on CBS that Gonzaga (27-3) got a 3 seed. But goodluck to both teams.

UT no way deserved the 2 seed over UNC.

forget UNC...gonzaga deserved a 2 seed before UT or UNC

he** George friggin Washington deserved a 2 seed before UT

I can buy putting the Zags at a 3 seed. There schedule is weak as water. Putting UT at 2 is outrageous.

say what??

Gonzaga played anyone and everyone

Who??? They play in one of the weakest conferences in the nation.

playing and winning are totally different. Other than Michigan State, Gonzaga hasnt beaten a quality team all season long. And dont even say Maryland or Virginia.

Exactly.

I guess SOS and RPI played alot in the seeding. UT beat 4 conference tourney winners and blew out fellow 2 seed, Texas, by 20. They shouldn't be a 2 though.

UT was #6 RPI with the #6 SOS

Gonzaga was #10 RPI with the #95 SOS

Let me run this by you all. What do you think the possibilities of Gonzaga trying to get into the PAC 10 one day? They are always going to get passed over on the seedings because of their conference schedule. They seem to play a pretty good/strong nonconference schedule year in and year out. I would venture to say that if they had been 30-0 they would still have gotten no better than a #2. Seems that the only way to get respect in the "Bracketology World" is to switch to a power conference.

St. Joesphs got a 1 seed last year after and undefeated season. They play in the A-10 so Zaga might got a 1 seed if they was undefeated.

Can't argue with that. I don't know all the factors that the committee has to work with, but the Zags don't get much primetime TV coverage in the East and haven't gone very far in the tourney over the past few years. Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to the next 3 weeks.

Their conference competition really hurt them, as did their struggles in their conference tournament.

Gonzaga will go home around the sweet 16 or before like always. Morrison is to much of a ball hog and it screws their offense up as a whole.

I think their lack of depth will hurt as much as anything. And, they do pretty much live and die by Morrison. They've gotten lucky over the past couple of weeks when he hasn't put up his usual gaudy numbers. I agree, Sweet 16 and out.

Gonzaga is not the best team around...but please someone justify how UT got a 2 seed before Gonzaga did...i dont care who or where Gonzaga played...they are a better team than UT

I think that I would pick UT over Gonzaga. I cant however justify UT being a 2 seed. They both are 4 seeds IMO, 3 at best.

wow

Gonzaga just doesnt impress me at all. They have 1 ball hog hippy and no defense. At least UT plays some D and is a little more balanced.

with no half court offense

Who would you have seeded ahead of them?

Well I think Gonzaga is a fairly good fit at a 3 seed. No way I would put them any higher though. I wouldnt have had a problem with either Pitt or Kansas being put at the 3 and having Gonzaga a 4.

I wouldnt put either of those ahead of Gonzaga...Kansas did impress me by beating Texas though.
