Wow I am stunned they shipped us to Iowa. Shows what little I know. I thought no way we are not in Seattle or LA no matter the seed. Absolutely against what they are supposed to be doing as far as getting butts in the seats for sites for one thing.
A. I think the committee gave us the finger. Losing the #1 seed was punishment enough for losing to UW and USC. It's not like they let other west coast teams stay near home. They sent USC away also so the nearest team that got LA is Fresno State and what did they do to deserve that? The Seattle teams are all from far off except Oregon State. They even sent Gonzaga away. They certainly gave the finger to the west coast host sites.Â
B. Not sure I can blame the committee over the #1 seed. UW and USC were bad late season losses. I don't think South Carolina did that much to deserve it but we made our own bed...
C. I like our draw anyway. Don't love playing at ISU but if we can't beat them even at their place, we aren't going far anyway. And if we do beat them, I think getting PSU is a great draw considering who else was possible. South Carolina is just fine as our #1 seed also. Wouldn't be easy but no team at the point would be.
D. The conference got 3 seeds of death - three teams are in that deadly 8/9 spot (USC, ASU, and OSU). Much better to be a 10 or 11 where at least if you win your first game you have a shot at the second one.
E. South Carolina may have gotten the #1 seed but they got the finger in a way too, getting sent to Seattle. They will have to stay out west for a long while or make two long trips. Does anyone think they are happy to go that far away?
