Teams we need to cheer against

I personally hope MU gets the 1 seed(really I hope they get a 2 seed out west) and goes west, while KU plays in St Louis.

That would have Scotchy and his kid in fits.

It would be glorious.

MU and KU can't both be in the same region.  Unless you think one of them would be picked after Baylor and ISU.

That's by rule, right?

Yes, first 3 teams from a conference must be in different regionals.

The Big East had two teams meet in the round of 32 last year.  The committee attempts to avoid having teams from the same conference meet before the regional semis.  There are countless examples of teams from the same conference meeting in the regional finals including Pitt vs. Nova in 09.

That's absolutely incorrect.  There isn't a rule, the Big East had two teams meet in the round of 32 last year.  The committee attempts to avoid having teams from the same conference meet before the regional semis.  There are countless examples of teams from the same conference meeting in the regional finals including Pitt vs. Nova in 09.

I bet I could count them.

I think you're misunderstanding him.  He is saying the top 3 seeds from a conference have to be in different regionals.  In '09, the top 3 of the big east wouldve been their 1 seeds Nova, Louisville, Uconn, all in different regions (obviously, since they were all 1s).

2. If possible, rematches of previous years’
tournament games should be avoided
in the second and third rounds.

Did you hear that committee?  Keep Wiskey away from us

That was a cool window of games, I wish they didn't end simultaneously.
