The Selection Committee made the B wait. And wait. And wait. But after they had their fun tormenting Baylor, revealing the Bears last (that's 65th of 65), the NCAA threw the Bears a bone by giving them a pretty darn good draw. Have you ever watched Big Ten basketball? It's like watching paint dry. Well, if the paint was getting fouled by some awkward post player. Purdue ain't that great, particularly for a sixth seed. Let's put it like this, Baylor will be the far more athletic team.
I'd rather have Baylor's draw than Texas A&M's. And A&M got a higher seed. But at least Baylor will have a puncher's chance in the second round against Xavier. If A&M gets past BYU in the first, they are going to get stomped by UCLA. So, all things considered, maybe it was a good thing A&M beat Baylor last week.

Why the hate on the Big Ten? Although, being an IU fan, I will have twice as much reason to be happy if Baylor pulls out the win over PU.
Baylor did get a much better deal that A&M. Although, I think you can thank Baylor's performance in the Big 12 Tournament more than the A&M game. That was painful. But maybe it will help the bears in the long run. As for my Aggies, you are right, the second round does not look promising for the Aggies.
[Aggy logic] tu beat UCLA. A&M (whoop!) beat tu. Therefore, A&M will beat UCLA! Whoop! [/Aggy logic]
Too bad that kind of logic doesn't work in sports. I will give the aggies an advantage in the interior. Other than that, UCLA is by far the better team. A&M may get stomped, but it could also be a good game.
Hold on everybody. The only way A&M can play UCLA is if they beat BYU first. That's a BIG IF. Go Cougars!
