??? Title: Re: Xavier & NC State Are Playing Now in the NCAA Tournament Post by: 2Stater on March 18, 2014, 08:30:08 PM I don't think they've ever done it with 12 seeds before. It's always been for what amounted to the 16th seed. I thought this change was kind of interesting.
Title: Re: Xavier & NC State Are Playing Now in the NCAA Tournament Post by: pmull on March 18, 2014, 08:50:15 PM This is the second year they have used other seeds than 16th for the play in games. I don't like it. It amounts to the last few at large teams to get in the tourney.

I don't like it. It amounts to the last few at large teams to get in the tourney. I totally missed that last year. I guess having two 12 seeds playing is better than watching Alabama A&M playing Kennesaw State for a 16th seed.

I think last year and this year they have two games that pair 16 seed's and two games that pair the last at-large bids or "last four in". It happens to be 12 seed and 11 seed this year. CBS and the NCAA does a poor job marketing the play-in games. I looked for them last night. I found NIT games on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. I checked TBS but never thought of TRUTV until I saw this thread at halftime of the second game. NIT got better exposure than the NCAA last night. |
