Didn't the committee used to have a neutral court policy and would go out of their way to make sure a school didn't have a home advantage such as Houston playing at Houston?

Florida-Vandy rematch?

Vandy will now have the belief they can win. But Florida will be out for blood.

Getting Houston in Houston is bullshite.

But since it’s at Toyota and Coog High doesn’t play there it’s a correct decision

But to put them as a 2 there is bs. IMO the biggest one was putting Mizzou in St Louis is the headscrat her. But shipping Pigs to Portland as a 4

It’s supposed to be top 4 seeds get POD protection

No discussion - Auburn has no business in the last 4

Keeping Carolina in Greenville is strange

To me just off my head

Arkansas
UNC
Mizzou
Houston
Michigan

We’re all placed wrong pods/regions. But for Michigan it’s hard as there’s no true close host for subregional.

They still have the rule, but Rice is the host, not U of Houston. Pretty BS, technically it’s legit by letter of the law but not spirit.

Also gave 10-seed Mizzou in St. Louis, and 3-seed Illinois potentially playing 6-seed UNC in South Carolina. Committee needs to do a better job thinking about location. There’s always weird stuff they do every year.

Quick takeaways:

Duke and Arizona got much tougher draws than Michigan/Florida even though they were better seeds

Wiconsin/Arkansas is an absolutely insane second round matchup with the two guards each team has

I think UCF makes a run to the Sweet 16

EVERYONE will be picking High Point


Wisconsin has the best backcourt duo in the country, including a 20 PPG lead guard with Final Four experience, and plays five out. Against a High Point team that hasn't been tested by a power conference team yet and allows opponents to take a ton of threes, I think this is an objectively rough draw for HPU. Doesn't mean they can't do it, but Wisconsin has some absolutely banging wins on their resume and a ton of experience.

Seth Davis is a really arrogant bitch

He hates certain programs and lets it show. He constantly picks vs Arkansas he constantly shows Duke bias, and regularly is proven wrong in his knowledge about teams in mid majors.

Yeah, I think Buffalo really is the closest venue for Michigan. Local media will have fun covering them and MSU in the same place.

Big conference tournaments suddenly matter? They haven’t ever before. Purdue and Arkansas jumped a seed.

Arkansas didn’t jump a seed. They’ve been in T20 all year and hovering around 15-19 last month

Lunardi never gets seeds right. He just gets the teams, same with 99.999% of the bracket predictions

I'm not saying St. Johns should be a 2 seed or UConn should be a 5 seed... but St. Johns won the regular season and conference title over UConn, how the F does these seeds make any sense??

Haven’t done my bracket yet but I’ll have Duke as my champion. Duke’s overdue for a natty, it’s been 11 years. Had a tough Final Four loss in 2022 and also last year. They look like a machine right now. Scheyer proving he’s a great coach himself, it wasn’t all Flagg last year. I honestly think Scheyer is underrated as a coach
