eight is enough!!

I thought IU had a lot of good things going for them: a 25-7 record, one of their best seasons in forever, an awesome bunch of players.

But after a minor skid which included an early exit from the Big 10 tournament just a few days ago, we're left wondering why IU's stuck with a #8 seed & why they're taking on a surprising team in their own right (in #9 seed Arkansas, who got their buns handed to them by Georgia yesterday afternoon). I along with who knows how many other IU fans out there are crying WTF?

Perhaps they're seeded #8 because of that little slide to end the regular season, I dunno. But at least the folks determining the brackets could have put them higher, at least #4 or #5. That might be my personal opinion at work here but I feel they could have gotten a better seeding than this. #8? Come on. Is that the best we could do?

For whoever did the NCAA brackets this year, an #8 seed for IU was one of the worst calls ever made.
