You will be randomized a team to start the tourney if that team covers the spread for that game you move on. Example your team is Mercer and they are +18 vs Duke 1st round and the final is 75-65 Duke wins, you now have Duke as your second round team. This continues throughout the whole tournament.
Lines
We will use closing spreads from Pinny for all lines, in the event of a push the higher number seed moves on (8 vs 9, 9 would move on). I will add .5 only in the event same seeded teams meet in the Final Four. The team get the +.5 will be the one traveling the furthest in distance from campus to Final Four site.
