OU gets a #14 seed. I think Kent had a shot at a 12 or 13, but OU's season record and conference rank precludes that. If they are going to stop the MAC's 6 year losing streak, they are going to have to pull a pretty big upset.....they drew Georgetown, a really good team. Sometimes we get a better seed and pick up a middlin' team that is ready to be upset. In this case, not so much.
As for the streak of BG's last NCAA appearance, it continues now to 42 years. At some point this year, it looked like William and Mary, Harvard and Northwestern could all get in....but we dodged a bullet on all three. In fact, no one slipped by us this year. On the other hand, BG remains on this rather sad list.....
Maybe next year.....
