So you’re saying we can’t win any or all of those games? [Reply]
So this joke didn't reduce Houston for their loss today because they were missing their best player? Are we just ignoring then that McCullar didn't play yesterday then and that our coach was in a hospital bed? [Reply]

So the committee chair cites Houston not having their best player as an excuse for not dropping them today, but Kansas plays without a starter AND their coach and nah off to Vegas they go!
I think in terms of region difficulty (listing with the #1 seeds) from most to least difficult:
1. Kansas
2. Alabama
3. Houston
4. Purdue
I think the top 4 seeds in Alabama and Kansas' regions are way tougher than the other 2 regions. And I think Kansas has a really tough 8/9 matchup. [Reply]
