[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 787880, member: 1776"] Tadams posted a good article on the tourney as far as what the committee got right and wrong. Here is another one on seeding winners and losers [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.yahoo.com/march-madness-2021-ncaa-tournament-bracket-selection-sunday-winners-losers-234221304.html[/URL] [HEADING=1]Selection Sunday losers[/HEADING] [HEADING=1][B][I]Loyola/Georgia Tech | Seed: 8/9 | Region: Midwest[/I][/B][/HEADING] [URL='https://kenpom.com/']KenPom[/URL] says Loyola is the ninth-best team in college basketball. Georgia Tech has won eight in a row, and topped off the streak with an ACC tournament crown. Their rewards? Each other, in the first round; and a potential second-round matchup with white-hot Illinois. Brutal. These comments are from the article posted by Tadams The inability to pair Illinois with another Big Ten team contributed to the Illini getting maybe the weakest No. 2 seed (Houston) and No. 3 seed (West Virginia), but the committee made up for it putting loading Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Loyola Chicago and Georgia Tech into that half of the region. [HEADING=1][B]What the committee got wrong: Seeding blunders[/B][/HEADING] The committee made a few curious seeding decisions, especially with teams in the Big 12 and ACC. Equally strange was the committee’s decision to have Clemson seven spots ahead of Georgia Tech on its [URL='https://twitter.com/jeffborzello/status/1371234121482174471/photo/1']seed list[/URL]. The seventh-seeded Tigers and ninth-seeded Yellowjackets have very similar profiles, except Clemson was last seen losing to Miami in its opening ACC tournament game and Georgia Tech was last seen celebrating a championship. It was also disappointing to see Loyola Chicago settle for a No. 8 seed despite being top 10 in KenPom and in the NCAA’s own NET rankings. The Ramblers (22-4) couldn’t have been a top-four seed — they didn’t have enough quality wins on their resume for that — but seeding them this low only penalizes their opponents, Georgia Tech and potentially Illinois. I'll add, Loyola-Chicago fans, if anything, are more upset than GT fans about where their team was seeded. They feel their team was greatly disrespected by the committee. Their fans believe they wre purposely seeded lower than they should have been because the committee wanted to bracket them with ILL. [/QUOTE]
