March 17, 20197 yr Author We already knew Sunday doesn’t matter. The only time it does is if you have a team who otherwise wouldn’t be in the field playing for a conference title. Move the championship games that are on Sunday if you want them to matter. Oh I agree, I’m just putting further evidence out there for any who think it.
March 18, 20197 yr The best thing so far from the bracket review is hear Jay Bilas, and Jay Williams whine and complain about Michigan St. beign put in the same bracket with Duke. Love it!

March 18, 20197 yr It would seem that Kentucky fell behind Michigan on the seed line, which cost them Des Moines. But considering how tough the South and West turned out to be, I really believed Kentucky got some great treatment. "Cost them Des Moines" doesn't really make sense to me. I would think Jacksonville is just as good of first round site.
March 18, 20197 yr The seed list was released. For Midwest: UNC (#3 1 seed) UK (#3 2 seed) Houston (#1 3 seed) Kansas (#1 4 seed) Auburn (#2 5 seed) Iowa State (#4 6 seed) Wofford (#4 7 seed) Utah State (#4 8 seed) Washington (#1 9 seed) Seton Hall (#2 10 seed) Ohio State (#1 11 seed) I disagree that Houston was the best 3 seed or that Wofford was the worst 4 seed, but from those true seeds it seems clear that the committee sure watered down a lot of the Midwest from their perspective. A lot of non-power teams in the top 8 seed lines, including the 3. Gonzaga the #4 1 seed?
March 18, 20197 yr Author "Cost them Des Moines" doesn't really make sense to me. I would think Jacksonville is just as good of first round site. Proximity. Maybe I'm wrong in that thinking, but Des Moines is a bit closer. And not that I'm afraid of a massive Wofford fanbase, but Jacksonville is closer to their fans. Obviously Jacksonville is in the south, so perhaps it is closer to some of the extended UK fanbase, but I have no idea on that part. Ultimately, if that isn't what happened - that they got moved off of Des Moines - then I literally have no idea what the committee chair thinks Michigan State got over Kentucky by winning the Big Ten tournament.
March 18, 20197 yr Author Gonzaga the #4 1 seed? They were. And that part they announced on the telecast and at least makes sense with how they formed their brackets. Duke #1 overall plays #4 overall.
March 18, 20197 yr How does Belmont get in? No Q1 wins or games even played if I have it right and lost their conference automatic bid.
March 18, 20197 yr How does Belmont get in? No Q1 wins or games even played if I have it right and lost their conference automatic bid. 2-2 in quad 1 and 3-1 in quad 2

March 18, 20197 yr Yeah it’s cool for the fans, it’s the worst possible way to crown a champion. You should start a thread about how it "should" be done.
