Very strange bracket layout. I'm assuming the top will play each other and then the bottom. Why would the #1 and #2 seed be on the same side otherwise?

I thought the same thing. ?‍♂️

Male as the 6 seed is why this needs to be voted on by the Coaches in the area. 

Michigan State as a #3 seed is a tough look for the committee!  ?

Excited to see our three Region 8 teams compete in the LIT even though two of them play in the first round against each other, which is kind of a bummer. But I guess Oldham County is okay with being the 16th seed because if it went by state rankings they would be playing St. X or Male, and that doesn't sound very fun.

That was probably a little more of a slow-burn for me than it should have been, lol.
