I'm skeptical our NET #1 and great record vs. top teams overcomes East Coast bias and UCONN's single loss, but one can hope!

---

Louisville is 6, Georgia is 13, Kentucky is 19 in the NET rankings. If they are 2-3-4 in our region, they would be expected to be 8, 9 and 16. That's a pretty big disparity! We can't have the true 8th-ranked team because that's UCLA, and also it looks like UCLA is getting bumped to a 3-seed for having 5 losses. Baylor is the final 2 seed. Swapping Louisville into our bracket makes sense because they have the most losses of 4 2-seeds.

Not sure why we don't get Indiana (ranked 9th in the NET) as a 3-seed instead of Georgia (NET 13th), or Gonzaga (NET 16th) instead of Kentucky. In fact, why are Kentucky and Georgia—both SEC teams—3 and 4 in the same region? Looking at the other 3 and 4 seeds, it seems that our only other options (aside from Indiana) were:

- other Pac-12 teams (AZ, UCLA)
- other SEC teams (Arkansas, TN)
- West Virginia (NET 23rd), probably too big a leap for a 4 seed.

So this seems about right.
