Can someone explain to me why their is an 11 seed play-in game?

It eliminates statistical bias.

As for the big ten, you gotta wonder why everyone hates the conference so much. Must mean something. I mean, nobody hates the valley.

Yes, Jim Delaney is the best at manipulating the [expletive] out of others such that the Big X gains unproportionally more than their share!

They earned it. The Big Ten has the best team in the country and two other pretty good teams. But there's a lot of junk after that. I've never understood why selection committees feel like the Michigan States -- big-time programs having mediocre seasons -- need to be represented over the small schools. If I were a Southwest Missouri State fan, I'd be posting all kinds of Gene Smith conspiracies right now.

Go Blue!

My guess is TV ratings.
How about because Michigan state delivers every year? If anyone has earned the love of the committee, its msu. 6 final fours in 12 years will do that sort of thing.

What's that got to do with this year? This is a team with 14 losses overall and a 10-10 record since 1/1.

Michigan State went 13-14 against the Top 100 with no 100+ team losses.

I don't know how the heck a 20-loss Iowa squad, who beat State by 20, is Top 100.

Great finish in the Temple game. That's why I watch the tourney, for moments like that.

I'm not hip to the music scene, but I'm guessing Jimmer Fredette's brother doesn't have a great rap career ahead of him.

How is it possible that I'm sitting in my home in St Louis watching the NCAA Basketball Tournament on two channels and neither of them are showing Mizzou?
