Totally agree Mr.Peanut. To win it all you have to beat the rest whether you play them in the first round or the final. It's going to be a fun and exciting tournament. Good luck and safe travels to everyone. Hope to see you in Kansas City.

Wouldn't  even have to necessarily replace a "number 1". The four teams selected as 1 seeds are all strong. But even if you don't give Trinity a 1 seed, I don't think they should have been the lowest 2 seed. If Messiah is number 1, they should have had the easiest number 2 seed (8th). Looking at the four top seeds, CMU seems to be the lowest in the seeding and should have had to play the highest 2 (Trinity). Looks to me like CMU had the lowest seed and got the easiest path to the final four.

Disappointed that both Messiah(1/2) and Trinity(2/1) were put in the same quarter bracket. Two great teams that should have both had a shot at getting to the final four.
