Wichita St should've been seeded way higher... BUT since 2006, they are 9-4 seeded 7 or worse and 1-2 seeded better than 7.
How Minnesota is a 5 and Wisconsin an 8 is beyond comprehension. Wisco beat them twice, finished higher in B10 and tourney.
VCU is a double digit tourney seed again. Since 2007, VCU is 8-5 when seeded 10 or worse and 1-3 w/ a single digit seed.
With Syracuse out, Mike Krzyzewski passes Jim Boeheim for most NCAA tourney appearances as coach (33)
