Tell me why Memphis is projected as a 2 or 3 seed and Winthrop is projected in the 10 area.
Memphis:
30-3
Went 16-0 in a mid-major conference with no team that will even make the NIT.
Beat 0 ranked teams.
Went 0-3 against their most difficult opponents, none of whom are currently ranked. The losses were by 7, 18, and 8.
Most impressive road win: at Houston, who will not even receive a bid to the NIT.
Winthrop:
28-4
Went 14-0 in a mid-major conference with no team that will even make the NIT.
Beat 0 ranked teams.
Went 0-3 against their most difficult opponents, all of whom are currently ranked in the top 6. The losses were by 7, 3 (in OT), and 20.
Most impressive road win: at Missouri State, who is probably in the tournament, and at the worst on the bubble.
