      The Eastern bracket is cupcake city. Conversely, that western bracket is brutal. Talk about two very different roads to St. Paul.

          But the west is the only bracket without one of last year's frozen four teams in it!

            I guess we'll find out how they break ties between two teams if this holds up.

            If that's the case, I would switch the Denver/Notre Dame game with UND/BU. Notre Dame is one of the few schools that can bus to St. Louis, and give it a chance at having a "name" team.

              I doubt this will hold up. It never has before

                Very true. It would be nice if it did though.

                  I was just playing around at SiouxSports (because I clearly have no life) and noticed they still have the 10-game requirement for TUCs. That criteria no longer exists.

                      I just love how the committee tweaks criteria like this in the middle of a season.

                      So much for transparency.

                        Except that that "name" team could barely draw 2000 people to the Sears Centre for their own tournament, and no one had to scramble to make arrangements. Granted, an in season tourney isn't the same as the NCAAs, but I think St. Louis is going to have a problem with attendance almost no matter who is slotted there.

                          Unless the NCAA makes the Blues a host school, there are going to be about 16,000 empty seats. That's going to look awesome on TV.

                            I completely agree. St Louis is going to struggle. Saying that, it needs any and all help it can get. Notre Dame would draw more interest than say Western Michigan. Plus, it's a bus trip, and saves the NCAA a flight.

                            Perhaps if there are 16k+ empty seats, the NCAA will give more thought to on-campus first round series.

                              I was under the impression the tweaks were done prior to the season but they just didn't release the handbook till mid season
