11 Seed Playin Game it is vs Pitt
Well we got in by skin of our teeth.
-
I dont understand how any of it works bc there are teams with some pretty mediocre records like 19-14 that are 2 or 3 seeds higher than us. But basically we have to play an extra game to get to the first round of the tournament
-
We are in. That is all the matters.
-
We should make a forum rule that bans the unofficial and inaccurate label of "play-in" game.
We are already "in." We aren't playing for that right anymore.

I’m just happy we made it. Playing Pitt will make this week entertaining for me

I don't understand either. We been playing a play in game for a month while teams like Aub, Ark, and others are comfortably in the whole time no matter how their losing streak is.

This it's a field of 68 now not 64.

Well, looks like all the prognosticators here and elsewhere were wrong. Looks like this draw was predicated on our last 3 performances and our lack of historical success as a program. I really didn't think we were a play in game. I truly believed we'd be a 11 seed but did not expect the play in.

I agree don't like the playin game label but not sure what else they would call it. Last four in bracket?

Our resume was better than a lot of teams ahead of us, but that is what being MSU gets you.

Not all schedules are created equally. There's a 12-seed that's 31-4

Bleh. A playin game sucks ass.

Our NET ranking is 48, so being one of 6 11 seeds is about right by that metric. I think it's fair, especially as we had a losing conference record.
-
A lot of subjectivity with the committee among the last few teams and we don't have much clout in basketball. Look at it this way, we had 12 total losses and 3 of them (25%) were to the #1 seed in the entire tournament. We have to be just about the only team in the country that had to play Bama 3 times.

So when did they add extra play in games? They used to only be playin games for the 16 seed. Now two of the 11 seeds are playin games?
-
All the "insiders" on this board need to stop acting like they know what's going on because they don't.
I hate this play in label because technically your not in the field of 64. We still have to win a game before the tournament starts.. its an extra game to play..I'm glad to be in but I'd prefer to not have to win a game 1st

Looks like Arkansas squeezed us out into a play-in game. They had basically the same record as we did.

I agree. In principle I'm not really sure why they expanded from 64 to 68 anyway making 4 teams have to win an extra round unless they were going to use it to let 15/16 seed type teams do a 'play in'. Better than getting left out though.
