  1. Appreciate your perspective.

    Just a comment on the bracketing and the rules. The NCAA got rid of the conference not meeting until the final 8 rules this year. In fact, conference teams can now meet as early as the second round. Don't know if it makes a difference or not. Just passing it along.

  2. Yeah, I found that out the other day...however, for sake of my bracketing, I'd rather not have Villanova and Pitt 2-3 in the same region..thank you though
