How Wisconsin wound up with a #3 seed

According to an interview with Steve Lavin and Brent Musburger during the play-in game (Mount Saint Mary's versus Coppin State), Selection Committee Chair Tom O'Connor said that Wisconsin wound up with a #3 seed because they were comparing Duke and UW and Duke beat the Badgers head-to-head.

No word on why Wisconsin's head-to-head win over Texas wasn't considered.

Exactly. That committee talks a lot of BS out of their collective butts. The real reason why Wisconsin got a 3 is twofold; No big stars and lack of respect.

Like I've said, I don't really care; a 2 or a 3, if those are the options, means it's been a pretty good year. But don't give me "we based it on head-to-head record" when we can point at the Longhorns and say THE EXACT SAME THING!
