ah....... why did Michigan guard Bucky so close? and the Badgers gave them 4 -5 feet to shoot???  From the beginning Michigan was in the face of every Badger......Bucky gave them yards to shoot.....what was that all about??  Or really, was that just me??  Wow, the Badgers couldn't get a shot off and they were making everything.  Ouch....bad game all around.  Oh well.....now's the big dance.  

Sure, they,  that is the committee and the talking heads talk about the last month but they also talk about the total body of work.  So which is it?  Better finish than Goophers in the B1G regular season and the B1G tourney and yet get seeded way lower.   Badgers played a tougher Non Con schedule too.   I guess when your last name is Pittino  you get extra points.

Not sure it was worth a 3 seed difference but MN played a lot better than UW down the stretch. 

The seeding in general is just goofy.  How the Badgers are seeded the same as NW is mind boggling.  Wisconsin should have been a 5 or 6 which tells me the committee had the Badgers placed even before the BT tournament. 

Badgers and Michigan flipped based on the tourney. Otherwise, Badgers playing in Indy.

Right up until the Badgers curb stomped then in Madison, then almost ran the table in the B1G tourney.

Heres the part that pisses me off the most- they'll contradict their reasoning in a heartbeat if it's KY, or Duke, or Kansas, or UCLA. Struggling down the stretch is simply an excuse today. 

I totally understand folks being upset with the seeding, and I also can't understand the MN vs WI argument.  But as a Badger fan, I really don't have a problem with the way the NCAA lines up.  Just making it to the sweet sixteen doesn't do much for me.  So, provided everything goes as anticipated on Day 1, I'm fine with the Badgers getting a shot at Villanova in the round of 32.  Beat them, take their spot, and now you've got a real chance to get back to the Final Four.  The people who should be upset are Villanova fans.  

I was at work during this game, but was able to see bits and pieces, especially in the last 5m or so.

I thought the biggest factor in that stretch is that Michigan shot unconscious.  There were a couple 3 pointers with Wisconsin defenders in their face.  And look at that alley oop score.

All those makes seemed to be when Bucky was about to close the deficit to a small margin that makes the game really close and might give Michigan some late game jitters.

I couldn't believe some of the shots Michigan made.
