I want Louisville to win the Midwest region and one of MEMPHIS, UConn, or Cincinnati to take the East. Putting 3 teams from the same conference in one region was 100% by design and is total BS.

We play for the AAC until the Tournament is finished. True it's not a formal AAC function but still it's Cardinal pride that will motivate Louisville hopefully to another deep Tournament run. If successful the AAC will benefit financially. Good luck to All. That old saying applies here. "GET 'ER DONE !"

Cardinal Pride and being Grateful to a league that has been Great for Us...plus what the Committee did to the entire AAC is a Complete Cluster and CRAP....

Yeah, I saw that too. The answer is that they value wins in the ACC more than the AAC. He could've just said that and people would have respected the honesty. UVa is legit, but who loses to TN by 35 and still gets a one seed?

Two of the last three NCAA champions are in the AAC right now. And it did dick for all of us.

SMU got royally screwed. A top 25 team with a bad loss at the end should be in.

Louisville was ranked #5, won/ Tied regular and Won Tournament and heard We would be #3 in coaches poll Today but get a 4 seed is unreal. 3 AAC schools in the same region is unheard of and a top 25 school left out Unbelievable. Tennessee gets in as well as 4 Big East schools. Selection done with Darts.

WHOUSTON should worry about making a tournament, any tournament, before their fans start running their mouth. ACC!

Was the committee biased against the B1G too? If there is any team in the country that has even more eye-test cred than the Cards right now it's Michigan State, and they are a 4-seed too.

Bottom line: Sure, UL should have been 2/3 seed but that's not much different from a 4. UL has all the opportunity in the world to win this thing again.

Louisville won't have to concern themselves with this next season's selection.

Yes, they are. Louisville should be at least a 2 seed. The selection committee can all smoke another bowl for all I care.
