What’s Women’s basketball
Yeah. Now they are onto men's hoops. So still waiting for any wrestling talk, let alone the preseeds.
Seeds, supposedly, are coming up after this commercial break.
After they hype Mendez. eye roll
On the way the seeding was done, Shane Sparks says:
"Simply put, in the past, the seeding process was in the hands of the coaches. Now, it's the Wrestlestat tournament seeder progam."

Coaches can only challenge a ranking if their wrestler is within 15 points of the next seed.
Luke Lilledahl is No. 1 at 125 pounds and will have a first round bye.
At 133, Marcus Blaze is the No. 1 seed over Lucas Byrd of Illinois.
At 141, Braede Davis is the No. 7 seeds and will face No. 10 Joey Olivieri of Rutgers in Round 1. The winner of that match faces No. 2 Brock Hardy in the quarters.
I'm shocked they stuck to the formula. Really thought they wouldn't
At 149, Shayne Van Ness is the No. 1 seed. He will face the winner of Michael Gioffre vs. Ryder Block, which is the No. 9 vs. No. 8 match, in the quarters.
The wrestlestat tourney seeder program? Is that something different than the algorithm everyone is always complaining about here?
At 157 pounds, PJ Duke is the No. 2 seed. He will get the winner of No. 7 Brandon Cannon vs. No. 10 Victor Voinovich in the quarterfinal. Cannon being No. 7 is wild, but OSU can challenge it.
Extremely difficult draws so far for everyone. Davis had better win a match here or he might need the at large
125: Lilledahl - seeded #1
133: Blaze - seeded #1
141: Davis - seeded #7
149: Van Ness - seeded #1
157: Duke - seeded #2
133: Blaze - seeded #1
141: Davis - seeded #7
149: Van Ness - seeded #1
157: Duke - seeded #2
Assume it's because he hasn't wrestled in over a month so no coaches ranking. Common sense would say move him up but we'll see
Mitchell Mesenbrink is No. 1 at 165 pounds of course. He gets winner of No. 9 Tyler Lillard of Indiana vs. No. 8 Paddy Gallagher of Ohio State.
Christopher Minto is the No. 1 seed over Levi Haines at 174 pounds. Haines is No. 2 and would face Lenny Pinto or Ethan Riddle in this version of things.
Levi with the 2 seed. Would love to hear Cael's thoughts,
Rocco Welsh is No. 1 at 184 pounds.
These seeds are trash. Coaches need to step in. I don’t care if it costs Blaze the 1-seed.
Barr is the No. 1 seed at 197. Would get Vanadia or Sollars in the current version.
165: Mesenbrink - seeded #1
174: Haines - seeded #2
184: Welsh - seeded #1
197: Barr - seeded #1
285: Mirasoles - seeded #4
174: Haines - seeded #2
184: Welsh - seeded #1
197: Barr - seeded #1
285: Mirasoles - seeded #4
Wrestle stat once again has completely botched everything
Cole Mirasola is the No. 4 seed at 285. He'll face Gabe Christenson of Northwestern in the opener.
Would love to know how the model spit out Minto over Haines. That will likely change
Fantastic as a database, but misses the mark in every metric rating.
Remember these are preseeds. Coaches have the ability and will challenge. Haines is the obvious one.
Yes, that one out of them all, is the obvious one to be changed.
Cannon as well.. I can't imagine they (OSU) are going to sit by an let him come in at the 8 seed.. though who knows..
