Many users thought Florida should have been included in the field of 64 and that Michigan deserved a higher seed. It makes absolutely NO sense. Michigan beat Illinois twice this season by convincing margins. Michigan has a better conference record and Michigan has a better overall record. Michigan IS ranked in both the CNN and the AP polls, while Illinois is not close to being ranked in either.
Someone has some explaining to do.
Michigan has been extremely underrated all year long. They finished second in the Big Ten and lost in the conference semis to the eventual champion. And to top it off, Illinois gets a higher seed. No sense and no respect. Sue Guevera, Stacey Thomas, and the rest of the squad deserve better.
