cheeseman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Can someone explain how teams are picked to be in the 4 play in games or what is now called Round 1? Tonight two 16s played and two 11s played - how do they determine which seeds have to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidnark Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Last two at large play each other, and last two overall play each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst 4 teams in the tournament will be a part of the 2 16 vs 16 seed games. The last 4 at large teams will also play in the play-in games. Sometimes these are 11 seeds, sometimes they are 12s.

They tried to call it the first round for a few seasons, but fortunately everyone called their BS and it's the "First Four" officially, followed by the First Round. I feel bad for the automatic bid teams that end up with play-in games at the 16. I feel like winning your conference means you're in with a legit first round seed, and that the four play-in games should feature the last 8 at-large teams that would all be in the 10-12 area. The only argument against this (that I can think of) is that two 16-seeds are guaranteed Tournament wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsBeliever!!! Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 The 16 seeds in the PIG should get their chance to play the big boy, while the last 8 at lathes should be the ones fighting to play the 6/5 seeds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
