According to Jerry Palm - "The committee had one tough situation to wrangle with regarding the Last Four In. Those teams were, in order, Wyoming, Rutgers, Indiana and Notre Dame. Normally, they pair the top two and the bottom two and seed them in the bracket where they belong. In this case, that would be a No. 11 and 12. However, Since Indiana played Notre Dame in a non-conference game, they switched the Hoosiers with Rutgers. Then, due to conflicts trying to get those pairings and the other No. 11s and 12s in places where they fit within the bracketing rules, the committee had to switch the No. 11-seed pairing with the No. 12-seed pairing. That is why Wyoming-Indiana is a 12-seed and Rutgers-Notre Dame is a No. 11."
