Yeah, the selection committee is clueless. Vegas must be clueless too as they have 7 seed Oregon as just a two point favorite over the 10 seed BYU. #4 Non-conference SOS, #20 overall SOS, 8-9 vs top 100, 5-6 vs tourney teams, rpi, bpi, kpi, and kenpom all project them in, in addition to what the committee decided and what Vegas thinks. lol, indeed.
For good measure, this is also lol worthy - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mFCMfJwOTTg&rel=0&t=0
Digger and Jay Williams pick BYU in a blind resume, then once they find out they picked BYU they back track.
Having said all that, I wish the utes the best of luck on the road at St Mary's in the National Invitational Tournament. I like Utah's chances - St Mary's is having a down year. Okay, so that's a third lol.
SMU is better than BYU. It's easy to see.

Kansas and Duke are the two teams I'm having the hardest time picking. I want to say they both get bounced early, but I don't know.....
K-State is tough, but they are so small. I see Randle having a big game.
Kentucky is going to get wrecked by Wichita State 2nd round though.

I've got them beating both K-State and Wichita, then losing to Louisville.
Why would you think they can beat Wichita?

Because they have more size, can rebound, and play defense. I think they can play and win Wichita's style of game.
The fact that UK is like 1-9 vs. top teams doesnt bother you?

I think Kentucky has holes. It's definitely a coin flip game to me. I think either one would lose to Louisville in the next round anyway. Witchita has a tough draw. If they were the #1 in any other region, I'd put them in the final four.
