Re: The NCAA Brackets

Time for me to make my yearly complaint about the "Play-in" game:

It's ridiculous and insulting that teams that get automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament are forced to play an extra game to get into the "field."

The play-in game should be between 2 bubble teams -- preferably the "last two" in.

Re: The NCAA Brackets

IU is an 8 seed in Raleigh and will play Arkansas. The winner to face Carolina.

Re: The NCAA Brackets

#2 seed Tennessee will play American at Birmingham. East Region.

Louisville will also play in Birmingham as a 3 seed and play Boise St.

Re: The NCAA Brackets

Tennessee in the same region as Carolina? Wow. If Tennessee had won the SEC, they would have been the #1 see over Kansas.

I agree. Add to that, instead of one play-in game, expand the field by three and have four play-in games. The winners matchup with the #1 seeds.

Re: The NCAA Brackets

Clemson a #5 seed? Thought they would be a potential #3 seed.

They shouldn't have lost. It's all about what you have done recently.

Re: The NCAA Brackets

Not arguing that Tenn should be a #1 seed - they shouldn't. But that's an awfully strong #2 to match up against the top seeded Carolina.
