this something i have never understood how LSU was an 8 seed. That team was pretty damn good and then got matched up with UNC in the 2nd round. We were down one with 4 minutes left and Ty Lawson leads UNC on a 20-7 run.

Butler as a 9 seed was an abomination as well.

The SEC really fricked us over with a weak RPI.

That LSU team was atleast a sweet 16 and could have been an elite-8 team. Only team in the tournament that had a lead over eventual champ UNC in the 2nd half.

That was the year the selection committee chair said during his selection show interview that Tennessee had a great year and was the outright SEC champion. LSU ran away with the conference by 3 games and Miss St won the tournament.

I was so pissed when I found out we were an 8 seed. Although we did put up a bigger fight against UNC than any other team did. Still cant believe we lost that game. We had them. Lawson went off though towards the end

I remember the UNC boards also said we were no 8 seed after we played them. They felt like they got screwed too having to play us in the 2nd round.

The SEC was so weak it really hurt us come selection time. Even though our resume said 6-7 seed, we got an 8 and against the best 1 and Butler team who also got the shaft seeding wise.

I remember 2009 like it was yesterday. Everyone complained about the 8th seed. It was definately a issue.
