This is an RPI driven bracket. It explains why the MWC teams are all higher than the PAC-12. Also why Wisconsin is a 5 seed when they're top 10 in KenPom.

Speaking of MWC: Rammies have Mizzou and Louisville in Lexington to get to Sweet 16. Good luck with that.
Awful draw for them - I feel a little bad actually, I thought they might get a little more love after a great season.
No, on the whole MWC (Mid-major Worst Conference.) Just think that the MWC is a conference that is grossly overrated and has proven to be this in the past. How many years have the Mountain Weenies run their mouths about how "underrated and dissrespected" they are going into the tourney only to see their teams all gone by the second weekend. I do think the UNM is solid team but the rest of them are over their heads in terms of talent. Even there I don't know that UNM will match up well against a talented Zona team.
Agree , Need to continue to schedule tough OOC
My first thought was that they should have just flipped Cal and whOregon. Except UNLV played both of them. But they could have matched them up with Akron, Ole Miss, Belmont, Bucknell, Minnesota or the winners of 2 different play-in games, all of whom are on the 11 or 12 lines and haven't played UNLV already...
Although the NCAA gave the PAC some lower seedings, they were kind with locations. 2 teams in San Jose and Zona in SLC, UCLA is the only one that I guess got screwed in both seeding and location.
I like our match up with Illinois, if we can guard the 3 and Dre can do what he does we should take it. But we need ski to find his stroke from outside if we are going to beat Miami.

UCLA as a 6 is perfectly fair , especially with their injury situation
True I keep forgetting about Adams. Crap situation for all involved
Was listening to Kreckman (bleh) on ESPN interviewing Eustachy and their play-by-play guy in the Fort after the announcement. They sound pissed, because they were a seed lower than SDSU. And they don't like their matchup with Mizzou. Funny.
I was really hoping they'd face a team from the B1G, since all year they've been saying that the MWC is a 'stronger' conference via the RPI....

So wouldn't that mean we were moved down a spot for some reason? 36 would be final 9 seed, no? I'd rather be a 10, so it works for me..
Yes
procedural reasons is what I saw on twitter. Don't really care because I like this spot better.

beware the habu
Well, the conference is rising a bit. Last year, 2 12PAC teams danced, and arguably, we would not have if we didn't win the conference tourney.
This year, 5 teams make it. The caveat being that the conference teams were seeded pretty low; 2 6-seeds, a 10 seed, and 2 12-seeds. I would love to see a couple of 12PAC teams join Colorado in the sweet 16. Did I say that? Why, yes. Yes I did.

Which will make it even funnier when they are boat raced by Mizzou.
Although I honestly think they are a very good team.

That mizzery / csewe match-up is one of the more intriguing games of the first round (traditional, there). Can the lammies match up with that bunch of athletes? Or will mizzery choke on a road dildo again?
I can't think of a possible outcome to this game that would surprise me.

massive tool
Where's 'gasm? He'd tell you he loves all those two* or non-recruited csewe players' chances better than he likes ours against the Illini.
Haith doesn't have his Mizzou bunch anywhere near as fearsome as Anderson did, though. They are athletic, but inconsistent all year long in a weak SEC.
Love me some Illini streakiness and their overall decline toward the end of the season.

Missouri and Illinois played this year, with Missouri winning by 9.
Colorado and CSU played this year, with Colorado winning by 9.
It's obvious that they don't even need to make us play these 1st round games. CU and Mizzou with both win by 9. Math don't lie.

CU is not going to beat Miami. Ill love it if they do, and stranger things have happened so there is a chance. But even the NCAA guy said it best; there is only room for 4 one seeds. If there were five spots then Miami would be it. That team is probably advancing to the final 4.
Unfortunately have to agree with you about our chances against Miami. Even if Spencer plays his best game and Ski plays like Charleston and Dre has a great game we still get outmatched in talent by a wide margin. Our best inside player who is a skinny freshman who has been less than dominating since his concussion against an inside game that has matched up against multiple guys who will be NBA draft choices fairly soon isn't a match. And I won't even go into comparing benches.
The best thing for CU to hope for is to win the first game and advance. Then give Miami a good game giving the media and next years tourney selectors who will be watching Miami as a high ranked team something positive to remember about the Buffs. This will help build the program reputation even if we lose as long as Miami continues to advance.
Are you talking about the Miami team that Arizona beat by 19?
Fact is that there really isn't a dominant team this year. I agree that Miami is one of a handful of teams I go into the tourney confidently thinking is capable of winning 6 straight against good competition. But I don't see a single team anywhere close to last year's Kentucky squad that we knew wasn't going to get beat by anyone unless it was against about 5 teams who happened to be having a really great night. Miami, just like the other "elites" of 2012-13, is very beatable by about 40 teams in the field if one of those teams is having a really great night. CU is one of those 40. We'd rightly be big underdogs and would lose 85% of the time, but it's not ROFL worthy imho.
