I believe so. I read it in an article on kusports.com

Why would that matter? If this complete dumpster-fire of a season in Lexington didn't do anything to change his mind, last nite won't either.

An ESPN panel of recruiting experts made their predictions Tuesday on ESPN’s website. Four chose KU, one Kentucky and one Florida.

Roy Williams not happy with seeding

Quote:

“When I saw North Carolina and the No. 8, I was stunned. It took me a couple seconds ... ‘Hey, that’s us. It’s not somebody else, that’s us.’ I was disappointed for our league (ACC) — two 2s (Duke, Miami) and two 8s (UNC and N.C. State). I don’t think that was good for our league. I don’t think it was necessarily fair for our league, but you’ve heard me say this 100 times. It is what it is, so we’ve got to go play,” Williams added.

Quote:

Williams was asked if he “buys” the NCAA Tournament committee’s assertion it does not set match-ups or potential match-ups like KU-UNC for TV.
“I am not much of a buyer right now, guys,” Williams told the media. “They can say anything they want to say and they’ve got numbers to substantiate it. You can sit right across the table from them and substantiate with some other numbers. I will say this ... they didn’t put North Carolina in Kansas City to fill the arena. The arena is going to be filled anyway if Kansas plays Slippery Rock. I don’t know what goes through their mind. It was a confusing (selection) show and I’m still confused and I’m a fairly intelligent person.”

Quote:

Regarding his own team’s No. 8 seed, Williams stated that his team’s RPI was in the top 20.
“I think the RPI is beneficial if that committee member wants it to be beneficial. I mean, our RPI is 17 or 18 something like that,” Williams said. “They’ve got a thousand things they can use. They can use what they want to use. I think at one point the RPI was probably — probably — more important than it is now. But again guys, our RPI was 17, 18 or 19. I’m good in math. Divide that by four and you don’t get to eight.”

I think he makes a good point in that last statement.

Committee stated they only use RPI to decide whether or not a team gets in not to seed.

Roy is 0-6 vs. top-25 RPI teams. (That roughly equates to the top-6 seeds, which he could not beat once). He is 28 in Pomeroy, which equates to an 8 seed. He even called out his fans on Sunday saying "95% of them gave up on this team".

UNC got what they deserved. They are seriously bitching about the diff between a 7 and an 8 seed? They were 2-8 vs NCAA Tourney teams this year. They sucked ass.

I was listening to Tom Keegan of the LJW on the podcast the other day. He said he attended the NCAA's mock selection demonstration. He insinuated that the NCAA uses the RPI a lot more than people realized. Prior to that I, too, had thought that they weren't relying much on the RPI these days. Now I don't know what to think.

Wow, looking at Pomeroy rankings and I see that W. Kentucky is the 2nd worst team at #185. I guess that makes sense if KU is the 2nd overall #1 seed.

True, so who knows. I just hear from the members that they don't use it to seed, not sure if right.
