So the seeding announcements are still going on, and Mizzou got dropped all the way to a 9 seed.
The first region was announced and Gonzaga was slotted as the number one overall seed, in the “West Region”. Then very quickly the 8/9 matchup was announced and the Tigers were slotted in at 9, facing Oklahoma in the 8 spot.
Well ripped that band aid right off... Mizzou is a 9 seed in Gonzaga's region

My initial reaction is it’s a really poor seed, and its probably a sign the committee was looking more at metrics than wins.
