nc st the last team announced as in gets an 11th seed, but gets rewarded for having to sweat it out by drawing a 6th seed [san diego st] who they are favored to beat [-2].
Memphis: At 12th in the predictive rankings, the red-hot Tigers are rated higher than three No. 3 seeds, two No. 4 seeds and all of the teams seeded 5 through 7. Memphis won seven in a row to enter the NCAA Tournament, and the victories came by an average margin of 21.3 points.
No magic going on here. NC State 'figured out' Gtown at end of the first half. I'm no fan of Georgetown but I give 'em props for hanging. Early in the second half (not before the game) I thought NC State would beat 'em by 12. Thing about Georgetown is that their 'big east' muscle defense stalls their points and has for many years.
the point was if Memphis and Wichita hadnt got such a shitty seed maybe they would still be playing. notice they matched up both with tough mid- major opponents in the first round.
