PVU upsets Southern, the Panthers played a great game, the Jags didn't seem like they wanted to be there and just wanted to get this mess of a season over. Luckily for the SWAC 3 of the 4 ineligible teams are gone already. UAPB plays tonight.

All 4 of the ineligible SWAC teams are gone, as it should have been in the first place.

The Panthers will get it on with the Bulldogs tonight.TSU beat Alabama St 73-61 hopefully it will be a Texas SWAC final.

PV beat AA&M 55-49.

Meanwhile, Cal Poly is surprisingly still alive after their upset of UCI.

SHSU/SFA for the Southland final and Dance ticket. Pressure's on SFA now; they must win or they'll get a bad rep for this season's edition...
All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

Cal Poly is this year's edition of Liberty. A sub-.500 team dancing. I have had enough of top seeds going straight to the NIT after getting knocked out of the tournament, something has to change. :ohno:

The selection committee definitely didn't like the AAC. Champ Louisville is only a 4 seed and no SMU. I also think UConn deserved better than a 7 seed. I doubt if any of the AAC teams are happy about how things turned out.

I found this on another site and thought it interesting. One of these teams got a 5 seed, the other one got a 7 seed. Which team deserves the higher seed?:

Team A / Team B
•RPI: 22 / 27
•SOS: 30 / 73
•Record: 26-8 / 26-6
•Top 25 wins: 3 / 2
•Top 50 wins: 7 / 5
•Top 100 wins: both 9
•101-150 wins: 4 / 2
•151-200 wins: 4 / 10
•201+ wins: 9 / 4
•Top OOC victory: #1 in RPI from SEC / #73 in RPI from Missouri Valley (a non tourney team)
•Worse loss: 143 RPI / 188 RPI
•2nd worse loss: 53 RPI / 89 RPI
•Rankings in committee: 26 / 18

Suggest "I am" or "I'm". Somehow you managed neither.

Don't follow BB much but the bracket seems convoluted. If there's 68 teams, wouldn't it make more sense to just seed 4 brackets of #1-#17, with the opening round 4 #16 versus 4 #17 seeds?

There was talk about that but the way they got to the 68 is by adding more at-large bids. They didn't want to completely punish the finals teams who earned their bids by winning the conference to that former 15 and 16 seeded teams would play in the "play-in" first round game. The concession to increasing the bracket size was to have the 4 final seeds play each other and the 4 final at-large teams play each other for the right to get in the 64 bracket.
