to me, Arizona is a pretty weak 5 seed. Not having 1 win in the non-con over a top 100 is bad for such a high seed. 14-4 is solid in the pac 10, but half of those wins are against teams with a rpi of 140 or higher. And none are against top 25 rpi
Not sure if Ksu is gonna get a 5 seed unless they beat KU in KC.... but Uconn also is not plaing well for a 5 seed. 4-7 in their last 11 games. I know the Big East is tough in all and Uconn had a great non con.... but their resume continues to take a dive
