Can someone explain this to me?  Jerry Palm doesn't have IU even on the last four out list (that's not my question though).....he has BYU ABOVE the last four in, yet has them as a 12 seed while two teams on the last four in are playing on the 11 seed line.

And, FWIW, he has the two teams on the 11 seed line playing in the first four in the SAME bracket where BYU is a 12 seed.

Palm always has IU 4 spots lower than everyone else does. He’s a Purdue grad. 
 

Not saying IU should be in the tournament or anything, but he is pretty clearly biased against IU. Unfortunately IU tends to prove him right

I think the last 4 in are always two #12 seeds and two #11 seeds. As for why IU isn’t in his field? Purdue guy.

We would have been crushed by both Michigan and Illinois today with the way that one was played.  Michigan is still a more worthy tourney team than IU imo. 

I would disagree about Michigan today.  Defensively, they were really pathetic today.  It's like they had to decided whether to give open layups and open threes and decided to give up both.  The only thing that kept them from giving up 100 was Illinois not hitting their free throws.

To fit his bracket and following bracket guidelines.  Most of the time the last 4 are either both 11s or both 12s.   Sometimes they have to have the first 4 where they split them to fit the bracket.   I’ve seen 13 seeds as last 4 in and I think Byu and whoever they played was a 14.    
 

BYU is a special case and can throw brackets off when they make the tournament.   They can’t play in the Fri/Sun games so they might be moved up or down to seed line to fit the bracket.    For your first question Palm is 100 on bracket matrix and a Purdue grad.    He isn’t that good and he usually puts IU low.  Sometimes he is so bad he gets it right.  Lol.  Last year I think he was the only one that had Wichita St making it in

And underwood decided not to play Plummer that much down the stretch.   Don’t think he was hurt but was sitting.  Kid had 23 pts in the first half
