Criminally Underseeded: Butler- The Bulldogs were a top 25 KenPom team all season. They’re not a ten-seed by any stretch. They were dropped a seed line by the committee. A potential matchup against fellow Indiana school Purdue would be a very good round of 32 matchup.
Criminally Overseeded: Arkansas- Butler’s opponent Arkansas was 37. They should be the 10-seed.
Random Observations: Murray State is a tough opponent for West Virginia. Saw some thoughts the Mountaineers should have been seeded higher and maybe they should have been seeded as a 4. I can’t see them getting past the opening weekend. Villanova’s potential 2nd round opponent, the Bama/VaTech winner will give them a fight. I think Purdue gets to the Elight 8 if they beat Butler. Can’t see Texas Tech or Florida beating them in the Sweet 16 or one of the 11-seeds.
Winner: Villanova over Purdue
