You thinking of that Marshall Henderson - Utah transfer - kid they had the last couple years?

Yep, he is playing in Iraq right now.

Wisconsin is really good, but their bracket is quite tricky

No, not Marshall douchebag Henderson. A shorter much whiter guy.

Yep, west is stacked.

With a face mask.

This is a really stupid question, but why aren't all play-in games between 16 seeds instead of 2 games being to earn a #16 seed and two to earn a #11?

Because the automatic bids of some of the small conference teams are worse than the at-large bubble teams. So some of those play as 11's.

Kind of makes sense. But I guess that is arguing there will always be 10 teams worse than the four teams vying for an 11th seed (#12-16 seeds in two regions). I could see MAYBE reserving 2-4 spots for teams that get in through a major tournament upset.

It's anything but an exact science. Having said that, 300 plus teams begin the season knowing the rules. If they don't want to be in that situation, they need not allow themselves to be.

So...tell me about Ole Miss..... SEC dudes.

The rank well past #200 in defending the three. So there's that. . .

 

[framer]

Well BYU got in...Sort of.
I think it's obvious they were not in until they beat Gonzaga. Would not have even made 1st 4 out without that win.

BYU got a pretty decent draw. They are favored by Vegas in the play-in game and the ESPN picker has them beating Xavier. Better than snagging the 9 seed, I guess.

My thoughts exactly. I would rather play Xavier than OleMiss. So a pretty decent draw.

I'm just glad that UK, Utah, BYU, Zags, and Iowa State made it in. Way more discussion round here.
