*Be nice, this is my first time ever attempting this :). Started off easy, became a pain in the ass once I got to about the 4/5/6 seeds. Starting with Stephen F Austin I used whatever teams Lunardi had in...ain't nobody got time to check all the little conferences.

How about the story of the kid who hit the game winning shot. From Australia 4 years ago came here just as mother diagnosed with cancer. This season when things got bad went home to be with her for 2 weeks, sadly she passed away and he returned to team to be the hero today. Great story and happy for the kid. Feel for SB who has been coming so close only to encounter heartbreak city once again.

The most incredulous part of the story is that the player is probably the 2nd best player in the entire league and the Danes went 8 and 0 in his absence! It's like if we lost 3'lo, or Dom, for 8 games in the middle of the season, but even more so. How would we do?
Speaks to the kind of roster balance we could only dream of.

Jaspers are my team that everyone now will love to hate with their bearded, ticket scalping, degree skipping, face losing head coach... :tickedoff:

So, I missed on three teams (not counting forgetting to update the AQ to show Eastern Washington instead of Montana). I had Colorado St (who didn't), Temple, and UConn (knew UConn was a reach) in. I didn't have UCLA (who did), Ole Miss (first team out), BYU (said I'd be wrong on them, second team out).
Overall: 65 of 68 teams.
30 teams correctly seeded.
22 teams within one seed line.
12 teams within two seed lines.
1 team 3 seed lines off (Dayton)
3 teams left out.
By bracket matrix standards that puts me at 307 out of 408, which is pretty terrible compared to past years. Not the worst ever, but pretty bad. Hopefully this was a bad year for everyone and I can save some face, lol.

Not your fault. The committee did a brutal job. Thanks for your time and poats
