The NCAA selection committee has placed Iowa State as a No. 2 seed in the East region, sparking controversy as many expected them to be a No. 1 seed. Analysts note the committee's emphasis on non-conference scheduling and the impact on other seedings like UNC likely becoming a No. 1 seed.
OK, biggest takeaways: - the Big East only getting three teams in is pretty wild - the committee made an example of Iowa State re: nonconference scheduling - the whole Mountain West got seeded low - most upset picks on brackets will be in the Midwest region
Iowa State not getting that last No. 1 seed AND not even getting to top No. 2 seems criminal.
ISU doesn't get a No 1 seed and draws UConn in the East Region. Wow.
Iowa State gets a No. 2 seed — the selection committee likes to make a point about non-conference scheduling, so this isn't too shocking.
Iowa State as the No. 2 seed in the East basically confirms UNC will be the No. 1 seed in the West.
Iowa State the No. 2 seed and gets UConn in the East? Not sure I get this committee so far.
Iowa State as a 2 seed likely means it's now certain that North Carolina got the last 1 seed.
I am predicting Iowa State gets the final No. 1 seed. The two have identical records in Quads 1 and 2 but the Cyclones have better wins, including two over fellow No. 1 Houston. UNC's best wins are home over Tennessee and two over Duke. It's close.
Iowa State should be the fourth No. 1 seed.
