Why would they send the ACC regular season and tournament champion to Spokane as opposed to Norfolk which is only about 3 hours from Durham ????

Good job! It takes a lot of work separating the conflicts. Were there any conflicts to resolve in your brackets? Any chance of a confernece winner being denied an invitation to the dance if they do not win their tournament? Who are your bubble teams?

To annoy the Duke fans.

Ha.


But if those are the 4 top seeds in the Raleigh Region. and they all make the sweet 16.... there is no doubt that Raleigh will be the highest attended regional.

(1) Someone has to go to Gonzaga.
(2) Travel wise, Duke is not a bad choice since if they advance they get to play the regionals within driving distance of home. Most other teams would have to fly all the way out there & back, then turnaround and travel again to the regionals. That's tough.
(3) In my bracket, all of the 2/7/10 subregionals are on home floors - MD, VANDY, DEP, GONZ. So, ODU is not an option unless one of these host teams are moved to another seed line.

looks good to me. like those brackets. would be fun to see UCONN match up vs. Delaware should they get past miami. i'd rather see Georgia as our 4 seed over Georgetown since we already played GTown, but the committee probably doesn't care about that...
