Western Kentucky

Don't they usually get a 10-13 seed? Always thought that they weren't 16 seed material.

They're giving KU a run for their money right now...

One of 4 worst KenPoms in tourney. Committee apparently uses similar rankins to select 16 seeds.

Dont know about RPI, but West Kentucky KP is 184 vs 268 for TCU ... about a 4 point better team on neutral court.

This team would beat montana by 15. I still cant believe we drew that team.

Just watch ... they'll upset Kansas, and Georgetown gets pushed to the "B Block".

Which is why, for I think the first time ever, I'm rooting for Kansas. Then they can lose to UNC for bracket purposes.

I would be very OK with that. Despise Self.

Part of the fun of the NCAA Tourney.

I'll always root for a 16 seed to beat a 1. As long as we're not the 1...I have no money involved, makes it easier.

WKU is usually the top dog in the Sun Belt, but this year Middle Tenn. St. was. It's no coincidence that Southern, WKU, and UNC Asheville last year are competitive in these 1-16 games, since they're not really 16 seeds. Now the worst 4 auto-qualifiers play for 2 spots in the play in games. That means that the two other 16 seeds that get a bye into the round of 64 would've been 15 seeds in years past.
