surprising that they put 2,3 and 4 on same side of bracket giving Millsaps the easiest route to the the south final

Welcomw to the wonderful world of the Texas Sub-Bracket

I agree Wesly Fan, seems like out side the bracket is loaded.

but you have to love it when, if all things work out perfectly, the #2 seed has to beat a 3, 4, and 1 to get out of the bracket and two 1s to win it all

I don't have a team involved this year, but every year is more frustrating with the NCAA. I understand the rules well, but the fact that travel plays such a huge role completely disrespects the efforts of these players and the integrity of the postseason in my opinion. The ASC almost always gets the short end of it.

#6 Muhlenberg, #8 UMHB, #9 Wesley  and #11 Hardin-Simmons are in the same subbracket. Not to mention two ASC teams playing in the first round, both of which are capable of going deep into the tournament.

I've been banging the Millsaps drum all year, but they face a LaGrange team they will beat by 50 or more, which they've earned, but  followed by fringe Top 25 teams in Washington & Jefferson or Christopher Newport in the second round, who they also will easily outmatch.

Obviously nothing Millsaps has done wrong here, I'm just using them as an example. I know how good they are and believe me, they don't need any help. It would just be nice in this part of the country, and particularly in regards to the ASC,  to see actual performance on the field take precedence over travel for once.

I know you can't fly teams all over the country, but you can at least use the seeding in each region, which also is subject to scrutiny. Any system that has Wesley a #7 seed, barely ahead of LaGrange, is flawed in my opinion. We've gotten so used to this in the South, and in the West a lot of times, that it doesn't raise eyebrows anymore.

we need a rich d3 benefactor that will pay for plane tickets.

It looks like any way the bracket goes, the second week gets two flights

Too bad that Pickens guy is giving all his money to Oklahoma State.

 There is a reason they play the games. Lets remember what happened yesterday before we start writing off some of the teams.

 No one's writing anyone off, just lamenting getting jobbed, again.

Its going to be a Millsap vs ASC final. Millsap, MHB, and HSU is way head of the rest of the pack(sorry mules should of went north or east :P) Just wish they put HSU and MHB on oppisite sides of the bracket so we can start having a all-texas final like usual.

It's obvious you haven't been paying attention for a few years TrickyTroy. I hope all the teams over look Wesley
