How did the tournament committee do these two things?

How did Arizona make the tournament?

There is no argument for Arizona except that they were a storied program. There are three mid-majors that had much better resumes that Zona.

How did Wake receive a 4 seed? This team was number 2 in the ACC and they get a 4 while Syracuse somehow receives a 3. There is no excuse for their seeds not to be flipped.

    I'll answer the 2nd question 1st. Syracuse got a higher seed than Wake cause of their impressive showing in the Big East tournament, while WFU's performance in the ACC tourney was dissapointing. They were 2nd seeded and lost to a lower seeded team, while Cuse beat the 2nd and 3rd seeded Big East teams to make it to the finals. Also the Big East is a much better conference than the ACC from top to bottom. So I agree with that.

    I don't agree with Arizona making it over St. Mary's but I think they're in there because of some of their big wins earlier in the year.
