Dave goes on at 6pm; I think there are a couple interviews before we start picking.

Giving this web link a bump for those who want to work on their 500 mile pods.

https://web1.ncaa.org/TES/exec/miles

I specifically, was looking at a pod for NWU. Very few teams can get to NWU. WashU and UW-Platteville seem to be in good position to also host, so they likely won't be heading to NWU. Likely teams that could go to Lincoln include Saint John's/St. Thomas non hoster, Bethany Lutheran, Webster, North Central, and La Crosse and IWU if they happen to make it in at the end of the bubble.

This is limited to say the least without using a flight. Saint John's winning Pool A seems the more likely MIAC teams to host. St. Thomas and La Crosse met in the neutral game in Lincoln last year, which complicates things more. Maybe sending Pomona-Pitzer on a flight to NWU wouldn't be bad.

Would have to imagine Emory pod and Texas Pod (Letourneau/Texas Dallas) will be adjacent to each other in the bracket to try and minimize flight possibilities.

Emory pod will almost definitely be Emory vs Methodist; Centre vs Transylvania because those are the 3 teams that can get to Emory.

You're going to have an extra flight somewhere, with the SCIAC and NWC teams.  You might have three if Whitworth makes it in.  Transy can drive to Randolph-Macon, so I suspect they'll end up there, with maybe Whitman or Whitworth at Emory.  UTD is definitely getting in, so you'll have three teams in Texas with maybe Pomona there.

We're also going to have to see how potential second weekend geography works in the midwest - it might end up making more sense to pair the Texas pod with St Thomas or NWU if there aren't enough teams to get even numbers.  Elmhurst could go to Mount Union second weekend, if necessary.

I think it's a little more fluid than what you've got here.

Since Centre and Transylvania played each other twice in the regular season, I think it is doubtful that they would face each other in the first round.

You've got Whitman, probably Whitworth, and Pomona who all have to fly somewhere.  Hopefully they'll drive Transy somewhere else to avoid the third meeting.

I wanted to get this done before the show, so I didn't have time to include more of the bubble teams.

Now that the bracket's out, here's an map of all the teams, grouped by bracket: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jt77yEWHz76V0S_d5IwpjCbKnUWIBgvs&usp=sharing

This is great, Inkblot. +1

Not really related to anything, but watching the Milwaukee Bucks...and Duncan Robinson lighting it up for the Miami Heat.

He was recently on one of my favorite podcasts (right after Hoopsville of course) Titus and A
Tate podcast. It was very good. Talk about his time at Michigan and his rise to a NBA starter for a playoff team, relationship with Belien, 3 contest and more. He's a great interview and it's a casual convo. Definitely would recommend.
