You knew Frank Kaminsky would say something.
After the NCAA tournament selection committee tossed a No. 8 seed the Wisconsin Badgers’ way Sunday evening, Wisconsin Twitter was a flutter. An 8 seed, really? For the Big Ten tournament runner-up? Yep.
As the chorus was rising, Kaminsky, the former Badgers star and current Charlotte Hornets big man, threw his own reactions into the mix. It’s safe to say he spoke for quite a few Wisconsin fans out there.
An 8 seed? Wth is that??

Submitting my formal application to be on the selection committee... because apparently you don't even have to watch basketball to be on it

SERIOUSLY, though. Look at this overall seeding:

Minnesota at No. 18, two spots behind Big Ten leader Purdue and 11 ahead of Wisconsin?
Whatever. A rational mind realizes this is a pretty tough job bound to sufficiently satisfy nobody. The regular sports fan doesn’t give a crap.
While we’re at it, here were some of the great reactions on Twitter we came across after the bracket came down:
@B5Q way more about Minnesota at 18 than about Wisconsin at 29

@B5Q Not hate...just a bunch of ADs with agendas that don't watch games and rely on stats.

@B5Q Once again the Tournament committee skipped watching the Big Ten.
