2/3 bracket and thoughts
One note that interested me: geographical preference was a real bitch in this bracket. The 4 lines have teams going everywhere, and there were dicey situations even on the 3 line. What made it the worst: sending Iowa St and Creighton as 3 seeds pretty big distances; followed by needing those sites for the 4 line teams. The end result is everyone traveling. Not sure how the committee will pull that off.
