For Houston coach Kelvin Sampson, NCAA tournament matchups, brackets trump seeding
UH coach Kelvin Sampson, a veteran of plenty of NCAA tournaments, says matchups and brackets are more important than whatever seed his team lands.When it comes to seed talk, Kelvin Sampson might tell you what he prefers in the garden rather than where his team is projected in the NCAA Tournament bracket.
A high seed does come with its advantages, and the Cougars enter the final three weeks before Selection Sunday in a favorable spot “I’ve had a team that’s been a 1-seed, I’ve had 2-seeds, 3-seeds, it’s all the same to me,” Sampson said. “You can lose to anybody you play. That’s why I keep saying the seed thing is either clickbait or stuff to talk about.”Since it began in 2017, 15 of the 20 teams that were a No. 1 seed in February remained on the top line on Selection Sunday. Those that did not stay as a No. 1 seed didn’t drop far, with four moving to a 2 seed and only once has a team gone from the top line to a 3-seed.
Chris Reynolds, the NCAA selection committee chairman, noted the lack of “superior teams at the top” than previous years and parity that could make this year’s field one of the most wide-open in recent memory.
