Reposting the leaked bracket because CBS absolutely sucks this year with their absolutely painful selection show.

I always thought each region had one of the playin games but I am probably wrong

 

[Piranha]

That would be fair.

 

[Scruffy the Panther]

Confirmed. No I can stop watching this.

 

[shermars]

Anyone guess at the time?

 

[Pittx9]

Lower seed than we should've been, but Pitt is in a solid spot to make a run. If the shots fall for Pitt, they're not going to go out easy. Somewhat pleased with where we're at.

It can be that way, but there is not a rule that says it has to be that way.

 

[NC Panther]

I'll take it all day long.

Times are usually announced later tonight.

Thank you.

 

[ratking17]

Usually around 9ish. A Friday game makes calling in sick more of an option especially giving me an excuse to stay up late on Thursday

That would be a great time…PRIME TIME

[ratking17]

No I meant the release of the times tonight usually is around 9ish or 10ish

 

[ratking17]

The other regions are spoakane, St louis, Oklahoma city, Brooklyn. My guess st Louis gets like a 1245, 315, 745, 1015 starts.

To those of you who think this is an even slightly easier bracket with a chance of us getting out of the first weekend: pass that bottle.
I don't think we are one of the teams that can take advantage of that. Don't rely on old impressions of Xavier.

I don't think we have any legit beef about the seed, we went limping into the postseason losing 3 of our last 4 and with only 1 RPI top 25 win. Plus I think we have a pretty good draw all the way around.

All in all about as good as could have been hoped for.

IMHO, seed is accurate enough. We are #34 in average computer rankings and worse case #38 or #39 in our "recent" Sagarin rating. That is a range between a #2 9 seed and a #3 10 seed.

There's teams that were even worse seeded higher, but I agree it's not an issue because really the seed isn't that important. Pitt got a good draw that could potentially set up well for them.

Except I don't think we match up well physically in the front court with Wisconsin.

6:50 Friday @ a Pittsburgh Bar….. Fish sammich and beating the Badgers!

Yeah but how do they do against Brazilians?

 

[Spindler]

I think Pitt got a fair draw a 10 seed, but I don't agree with a team that Pitt beat 3 times this season also is a 10 seed . Did I miss something in Syracuse ? To hear the TV pundits Syracuse got consideration because Boeheim missed the first 8 games, my goodness if Boeheim had missed those games because he was hospitalized I would understand. He was suspended for academic irregularities at Syracuse, playing players that were academically ineligible .
If Syracuse merited selection then a team that beat them on the road, at home and a neutral site should have garnered a seed higher than 10.

Their Sagarin rating would have them an 11-seed.
