2023 NCAA Tournament

Let the fun begin

Looking a couple of round ahead, we could have the game that no one would want to referee--Amherst vs St. Thomas (TX).  Apologies to @EnmoreCat, but most of the country might be Ammirers in that match given the behavior we have witnessed from St. Thomas this year.

Whaaa, not looking forward to possible Rd 3 Trinity v. St. Thomas.  Maybe a slight uniform change - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBA-cihIdFQ Along with tape over mouths??

Are they ever going to publish the bracket?

[Freddyfud]

Bracket is up now on NCAA.com.  Is anyone aware of a bracket challenge like March Madness?

Not used to apologies here CSO, but of course, will take them however they come.  In any event, I am very much a one game at a time guy and will spend my day learning as much about SUNY Poly as I can.  Although, we do have a big horse race here today, the Melbourne Cup, plus a Reserve Bank of Australia announcement, my focus will be on the Wildcats.

I think the D3photography.com guys are going to publish one later this afternoon (according to https://twitter.com/d3photography/status/1721574053629059271)

I'm almost positive someone did that last year.

And North Central (MN) looks to continue their season as they appear on the bracket to be lining up against UW-Eau Claire. Kidding of course, but comical how this team continues to appear randomly(?) throughout NCAA's rankings, materials, etc.

Additionally, I'd be curious to hear any thoughts from the group on if there were any teams you felt were robbed of a bid and vice versa. Looking forward to the tourney!

Hi Midwest Fan, I think you have the wrong North Central. It is actually North Central (IL) from CCIW that is playing UW-Eau Claire.

I haven't seen the latest RR...so just assuming GAC and Denison cracked the final ranking and that, along with some favorites not getting AQs, left several worthy teams on the sidelines...imo, in no particular order...Mt Union, Brockport, Bowdoin, Kean, Texas Lutheran, Muhlenberg...

Btw, I had GAC in and Denison of course won AQ but assuming they got ranked and that had implications for several other teams.

IMHO the Mules got shafted.

Midwest fan appreciate your take and I am curious who else
Feels like teams got slighted and what teams people feel just snuck in.

They actually published the bracket a few minutes before the selection show aired.  Strange timing.

Possibly.  They most likely did not do enough to get in. Did not beat Scranton, Wash. College, F&M (during reg. season) tied JHU.  Plus their non conference games were not against other teams with good strength of schedule. They definitely played well.
