This year's Florida team is high-variance, so they're either getting bounced in the first round by an underseeded Boise State, or going to the second weekend

I’m going to laugh forever if this means Clemson gets left out somehow

e: though I guess Duke and NCSU would have been in separate brackets if that was the case

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The committee desperately needs people that can stay up late enough to watch Mountain West games.

Honestly one of the better brackets Arizona has had, should be a fun thing to consider as they lose in the first round again.

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



The 2nd best conference this year according to KenPom - the Big East - had all the bubble teams snubbed and then the perennial ball washing of the ACC and Big 10 gets teams like UVA and Michigan State in.

How is Alabama a 4 with UNC and Auburn a 4 with UConn? The S-Curve isn't real. Auburn was ranked 7 spots higher than them before the SEX title.

Auburn is under seeded. Feels like they gave UCONN one of the hardest brackets when they should be getting the easiest.

There's a bunch of weirdness this year. Every year has headscratchers, but this is excessive.

Arizona is our number 2. Caleb Love would be happy to drop 40 on us.

More seriously there's no such thing as a soft bracket. The madness is here! Upsets for everyone! Your bracket won't survive day 1 and you know it.

If we make it to the sweet sixteen I'll consider it a good season.

Nearly all of the SEC teams seem screwed up. UT at 2 makes sense, Auburn should be a 3 or even a 2. Bama at 4 seems fine, USC should probably be a 5.

Auburn is #5 in NET. How they ended up as a 4 seed is crazy.

UConn, FAU, and SDSU being in the same bracket lol

But the committee never makes matchups / potential matchups based on storylines! :rolleyes:

Gotta get A&M and their five quad 3 losses in though (yes, I know they have some good wins too but ugh)

As an 11 team league......Big East teams play each other both home and away each year. The problem for all those BE bubble teams this year is that Depaul and Georgetown were so horrendously awful.....that their only two conference wins were Georgetown beating Depaul. For all the other teams in the conference.....they had four gimme conference games that count for basically zippo.

I wanted Brown nd Duquesne to win to break those 30/40+ year streaks of not making it, but at least half of that worked out! And you can't be too mad because that final Yale possession was just good basketball.

More importantly, gently caress yeah, Wolf Pack 10th seed! I haven't watched Dayton at all this year, are they good, great, mediocre, or something else?

Nebraska is playing Texas A&M in the first round of both the men's and women's tournaments. Wonder if that has happened before?
