The only surprise here would be that a school hired a husband and wife team to coach basketball.

You forgot the part where she woke up from her dream. Something like this...

Play-in game as a 14 seed???

Yes. That's the crazy part of that scenario.
Yeah as far as I know if you win your conference tournament (unless a 16 seed) you don't participate in play-in round, those are the last 4 "at-large" teams plus the bottom 4 Conference winners which the AAC is not.

Details, schmetails, it was just a fun outline for a story that would overwhelm "Hoosiers". One of the members of the "Hoosiers" team lives in my community and said the team had lots more than 7 players, the assistant coach was not a drunk, and on and on, so why not a little hyperbole on this year's UConn team?

You are correct. The play-in game slots are for the lowest 4 automatic bid winners (always #16 seeds) and the lowest four at-large teams (normally around #12 or #13 seeds IIRC). If we win the AAC tourney, there is no play-in game.

You missed Kwintin Williams returning for the NCAA tourney averaging 24 pts, 6 asts, and 8 rebounds and being awarded Final Four MVP.

It seemed realistic until I read "defeating Syracuse in the championship game". Inconceivable that Syracuse can get there.

Not to rain on the parade, but considering what Boeheim went through, I won't be rooting as hard against the Orange as I usually do this postseason.
