This Sunday March 13 the 2016 March Madness bracket was officially released. There was a huge controversy over some of the teams who made the dance and those who didn't. Many expert analysts think it's ridiculous that Monmouth did not make the tournament and a team like Tulsa did. This year's tournament was not picked by conference wins but by RPI. Which I think is a valid reason why the Monmouth Hawks did not make the tournament although they had a very impressive run this year. Others were more upset by the seeding the teams earned this year. Here's the University of Kentucky's head coach John Calipari showing his frustration with his team's seeding.
I believe head coach John Calipari has a good reason to be upset about his team's seeding. He brings up a good point that it doesn't make sense that his team is a number 4 seed while Texas A&M is a 3 seed and Kentucky just beat them in the SEC conference championship game. Winning your conference guarantees you a ticket to the tournament but I guess it doesn't guarantee you the best seed which makes sense considering Seton Hall is a number 6 seed entering the tournament when they won the Big East conference. There are two other teams in the Big East that are ranked lower than Seton Hall.
