Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4909753, member: 1329"] Yeah I was talking about UConn, Marquette, and Creighton specifically, so I omitted the part of the rule that mentioned it was only top 4 seedlines. Apologies for lack of clarity. The rule will come into play this year a good amount because the SEC and B12 have 4 teams each likely in the top 4 seeds (and B12 could possibly get a 5th in) and Big East has 3. There's another rule after the top 4 seedlines that is closer to what you remember Secure Dog. Depending on how many times conference members played during the regular season (and how many teams from each conference are in the field) dictates how early they can play. We played Cincinnati in 2011 in the 2nd round because the Big East had a million teams in the field. Whereas St Mary's and Gonzaga last year could be in the same regional, but not play before Elite 8. [/QUOTE]
