Creighton coach ‘not thrilled’ about No. 8 seed
Creighton coach Greg McDermott believes the NCAA tournament selection committee let the potential for an intriguing story line trump a fair seeding for the Bluejays.
A Creighton-Carolina matchup would pit stars Doug McDermott of the Bluejays against Harrison Barnes of the Tar Heels. The two were teammates on the Ames (Iowa) High School team that won 53 straight games and made national headlines when Barnes was the top recruit in the country in 2010.
“I’m not thrilled about the seed,” Greg McDermott said, “The reality of it is, I think, unfortunately sometimes people are after a story. I think we all know what the story is to some extent."
Does McDermott really think the NCAA committee was more concerned about trying to engineer a matchup between Creighton and North Carolina in the 2nd round just to have ex-high school teammates face each other, than they were about getting the correct seeding? Wow. I have heard a lot of conspiracy theories before, but this one is really far out.
