[Pat Coleman]

Not done with the bracketing portion but done with the selections:

http://www.d3blogs.com/d3hoops/2012/02/27/our-2012-mens-projections/

Oh, and added the bracket a little bit ago.

[Titan Q]

Here are the 15 teams that Pat Coleman, Matt Snyder (KnightSlappy), and I agree on...

Middlebury
UW-Whitewater
Mary Hardin-Baylor
Wittenberg
Rhode Island
Western Connecticut
Wheaton
UW-Stevens Point
Transylvania
Heartsick
WPI
Ohio Wesleyan
Randolph-Macon
Keene State
St. Mary's

And then we have 6 teams identified for the final 4 spots...

Wesleyan**
Lake Forest**
Illinois Wesleyan**
Hobart**
Birmingham-Southern**
Gustavus Adolphus*
St. Joseph's (LI)*

* picked by 1 of the 3
** picked by 2 of the 3

Titan Q .. It seems there should be 12 stars instead of 11, with 3 projectors looking at 4 spots.  Maybe not.

Corrected...thanks!

Probably a useless exercise with two hours to go, but I podded my selections (top teams host). I didn't necessarily double-check that I don't have conference foes facing off in the first round.

If Wesleyan makes the tourney, I don't see them being in the same pod with Middlebury. I also don't see Va Wes and Randolph-Macon being in the same early pod.

Whitworth is the tricky one. I remember watching Kent Raymond light them up at the DeVos in the first round. But sending them to Wooster seems a bit of a stretch. The UWW pod would be an interesting one.

[KnightSlappy]

That would be Wooster hosting York, with the winner flying to Spokane.

[Greek Tragedy]

Unless they are geographically isolated, I thought they tried to keep conference foes away from each other in the first 2 rounds.

They do. That's why I don't see Wes and Midd in the same pod, nor Va Wes and Randolph-Macon.

First round for sure.

No, the handbook only commits to the first round, and even then they allow the committee to break that rule if geography gets tricky.

No, the handbook only commits to the first round, and even then they allow the committee to break that rule if geography gets tricky.

...or, as in one famous incident, the committee doesn't realize two teams are from the same conference.

[ziggy]

I believe NYU is the only team to make it that none of the three projectors predicted would make it
