UCLA doesn't deserve a top seed!

Mensa_Club_2 · March 11th, 2007, 12:26 PM

Sorry KP, if you're still around here somewhere. A team that closes out the season with two straight losses (to two of the bottom teams in their conference, at that), is not deserving of a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Everyone says UCLA will still get a top seed, but if Wisconsin beats Ohio State, I believe both should get #1's, with the other two going to Kansas and UNC (if they both win their conferences). If Ohio State wins, I think OSU, Kansas, Florida, and UNC are all more deserving than UCLA. Either way, UCLA won't advance past the Sweet 16, regardless what their seed is. Quite frankly, if they get a #1 they could very likely be the first team ever to lose to a 16 seed.

he felt that strong about it

Indeed, I did. And yes, this was a topic I felt strongly about. Come on, two straight losses and all the analysts still had them picked for a #1 seed? With the Badgers' pathetic performance against OSU along with KU, UNC, and Florida all picking up wins, it ultimately didn't matter. If Texas didn't choke, I guarantee UCLA would have gotten that undeserving #1 seed.

As William Munny said to Little Bill; "Deserves got nuthin to do with it".

I don't understand your question. This isn't about 2 seeds... its about them not being more deserving of a #1 seed than any of the #1 seeds.

ssigman · March 13th, 2007, 01:30 PM

if kansas lost, they mighta been knocked off the #1 seed..if thats the case, what #2 seed is more deserving than them?

Thats a tough question, there may not be a more deserving team (but you can make a case for Memphis and Wisconsin). However, Kansas didn't lose, so they deserve the top seed.

memphis has a great record but a pretty cupcake schedule...you can say wisconsin but then we agree with mensa and this is a place for discussion, not agreement all the time
