Time for everyone’s favorite exercise, re-seeding by KenPom with some random thoughts.
1. Gonzaga (2)
2. Michigan (5)
3. Texas Tech (9)
4. Florida State (14)
5. Buffalo (22)
6. Nevada (25)
7. Marquette (27)
8. Florida (28)
9. Syracuse (35)
10. Baylor (41)
11. Murray State (52)
As we can see, the top 4 are the top 4. There is some shuffling between 5 and 7 but the real difference is pretty small. There is no egregious seeding issues in this bracket. This will be a common theme as we bounce from region-to-region. The committee did good balancing the regions. Can you make a few quibbles? Sure, but this is the best seeding I’ve seen in years.
Brian jumped on Nevada over Michigan last night and I can see that. I’ve been bullish on Nevada the last two years. Anything short of a Sweet 16 will be a disappointment. Everyone loves Murray State, so that should be a concern to you bracket players. Buffalo has a legit shot at a Sweet 16. A potential round of 32 game against Texas Tech would be lots of fun. That said, I doubt Texas Tech will get much love as a potential Final 4 team in this region. It’s doable but I've been on the Zags since last year ended. They’re the pick.
