So your saying that those teams losing won't factor into their seeding? A team like Michigan State had a chance at a #1 seed, they won't get it now. UCONN isn't a lock for a #1 seed anymore. NC is still a lock, but that is due to them being NC and already being considered well ahead of the pack. Ty Lawson also did not play today.

Also, how is it reconciled that a highly seeded team that loses its best player near the end of the season will be downgraded, yet a team with a great early season/non-con that is obviously not playing great at the end of season will be given a pass because of their body of work. Why make a predictive seeding due to a lost player but not due to a poor finish?
