I don't know if this was the most current word on this but from their selection and bracketing procedures:
Each of the first three teams selected from a conference shall be placed in different regions.
To be fair it is such a HUGE undertaking to make their list of 68 team, seed them, follow all of the bracketing rules and assign them to first weekend locations that I don't think they have a lot of time, energy, or will to then cook in some preferred matchups.
That depends on who is involved and how they interpret this:
To recognize the demonstrated quality of such teams, the committee shall not place teams seeded on the first five lines at a potential “home-crowd disadvantage” in the second round.
An 11 could face #3 in the second round so they...
Being at the same first weekend location doesn't mean you will play each other or even that you will end up in the same regional. And if the Big 12 ends up with more than 4 teams - pretty much a given - there will be more than one Big 12 team in a region. Heck the Big 12 could actually end up...
Who starts between the two could be as simple as which of the two of them is better at the center jump to start the game. Other than that they are getting pretty much the same minutes.
It would be nice if one of the two of them distanced themselves from the other at the free throw line. It...
Good information. I have found acceptance rates from various sources of 15.1, 15, 15, 15, 13, 12 and 11.9%. Regardless, quite selective. I wonder if there is a "preferred walk on" acceptance program in addition to their scholarship athlete one.

My thoughts on this:
Pete didn't have the advantage of the 3 point shot so his scoring all had to come 2 at a time so he needed to take more shots to score more points.
No question that CC is really good at passing the ball and finding open teammates. She does get loose with the ball at times...
Some speculation about the youngest McCaffrey not being a take for ND here. If he isn't offered a scholly do you think he would walk on there? The McCaffreys have a lot of history with ND. Marge was captain of ND's first NCAA Tourney team and Fran was an assistant there. That is actually...
And a midwest guy being able to coach at a high level just 4 1/2 hours from where he grew up is nice for him. As of last NCAA tournament his parents were still alive and being close to parents who are both about 90 is valuable.
Obviously this doesn't preclude taking the Iowa job. Iowa City is...
Are the hawk fans screaming because they didn't get a flagrant foul when that Perkins kid totally took out Dix. It was flagrant contact to the head and the officials didn't even look at it.
Does anyone know if Bill is at all interested in either of these sophomore phenoms. They both started playing Varsity in middle school and both became 2,000 point scorers as freshmen - one setting a MN high school record for fewest games played to reach 2,000 points...
