Harper with awful defense on that last possession. Didn't move his feet and came out instead of taking a good angle to cut off the drive and then ended up getting in the way of his teammate rather than being of any actual help..........and then he got beat to the basket.

Yeah.. He’s thicc and they have no bench tho.. dude was spent. Tough L
 
It’s almost like the committee is bad at their job or something and Vegas (a multi billion dollar industry) knows what they’re doing.
That’s not really fair. Although I do think committee isn’t the best at seeding, there’s two other things happening here.

1. The committee isn’t supposed to look at how teams are playing recently. It’s not a criteria. Obviously if you’re playing well at the end of the year, it’s going to strengthen your resume, but it’s ingrained in CBB fan’s heads that last 10 game record is a criteria when it hasn’t been for over a decade. Memphis and Michigan are probably the most egregious examples of teams in the tourney that had bad starts to the year. Bettors are going to see their seed and think they are underseeded, but it’s just because the shitty front end of the season lowered their overall resume.

2. There’s also line movement from people betting the team they recognize. The average joe assumes Colorado State is bad and Michigan is good because of their school name.
