I dont care either way just trying to understand why. Im sure RPI was a huge factor since they openly say they are using it but seems silly since Illinois State is 33rd in RPI and Vandy is 38th.

12 seed Middle Tenn should be favored over 5 seed Minnesota no? Or like a point dog or something.

I'm a NC State fan. Can I imagine a team breaking my heart over and over again in fashions that aren't conceivable?!?!?! Lol come on guy

West section clearly the more interesting. Can pick 6 teams to come out of that

The annual Iowa State fans get hopes up and lose in the first round.

Things like Iowa State on Kansas's side bother me a bit, I know one conf ****ed it all up but the old days they tried to avoid having a team that beat you at least till the round of E8. That said, that game in KC would be awesome so yeah.

I bought tickets for week in the West region. Looks prety uninspiring except potential GOAT COAST vs Arizona matchup.

Westgate has Duke with the lowest odds to win it all? Neat.

Depending if Creighton makes it to KC, the crowd is going to be 90% ISU and KU fans. And after ISU beats KU in the Sprint Center again, Cyclone fans will pack that arena for the Elite 8 game (whoever that is).

You mean that one time in our last 5 trips? Twice losing to the eventual national champion and once to a 1 seed

I would have preferred to be a 6 seed so as to avoid a 1 seed until as late as possible. ISU-KU with the FF on the line would be amazing.

I like hearing John Calipari's thoughts on the bracket, but it would be better if he could write them down and have Al Pacino read them out loud.
