I'm not going to sit here and act as if Michigan is heading to the final four. Or even winning one game in this tournament.
But them being placed behind Purdue, at this point of the season, is laughable.
This entire bracket in general seems like it was put together on a dart board.

Maybe WVU deserved to be in, 10-10 is fine, but I'm not really mad they're out. But I'm not a WVU fan. Teams get jobbed every year.

It's not so much that they were left out at 19-13/10-10, it's the fact that the teams that the bubble teams that got in over them didn't deserve to do so and the reasoning given by the committee was flimsy at best. Especially with the optics around who got in as last team in, who was the chairman of the selection committee, and the bonus he got as part (AD) of said last team in's selection to the tourney.
As a Michigan fan I’m still in complete shock at being a #5 seed. And that’s not even the worst part. Purdue is a #4 lol 
and Wisconsin is a #3 seed…. WHAT!!! Michigan beat Wisconsin twice this season, just won the BIG10 title, and their reward is a #5 seed and they get a game on the first day of the tournament. Yeah the NCAA committee in basketball and football blows!! F off

West Virginia and Indiana both deserved it over them and Texas. Hell I might have considered Boise too.

Should be a rule that you have to be .500 or better in conference to be eligible for at-large consideration. Arkansas, Mississippi State, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, and Texas would not be in this year under that rule.

That's a good idea in theory but then you have to find 6 teams to replace them.
West Virginia, Indiana, Boise and then who? Wake? UC Irvine? SMU? George Mason?
I wouldn't have minded that too much, but the SEC has so many teams now. And most of them are better than Wake and SMU, despite conference record. The ACC was bad this year. It's 2nd and 3rd best teams are both already out. One being upset by a mid-major.
Would like to the mid-majors have more of an at-large shot though.
