Did some digging at lunch....
We are in 67/80 brackets or 84%
Of the 11 seeds, only Texas 72 & USC 69 are in more.
In the brackets we were left out of, Marquette is in 8, Louisville & Ok St are in 6, and Cuse is in 4.
Others - LSU in 2, Nebraska in 2, Utah in 1, Washington in 1, Boise St in 1.

We're currently in 93 of 110 brackets, or 85%. Syracuse is the first team out, and they're only in 51 of 110. We're in good shape regardless of Thursday (possibly in the First Four with a loss).

Does "history", especially recent count to the committee? Does attendance factors and TV viewership count? They shouldn't, but anytime there's a potential extra buck to be made I have to wonder especially in the NCAA. |

agree to an extent but we're talking about teams 66-70 in any given year and any argument can be made for/against.
