Here's the bracket:

Looks like a 12:30pm game on Tuesday against Evansville. Illinois State slipped in as the 3 seed and the big BAD Bears slipped all the way to 4th.

Boy would I love for sCUm to drop one to Bradley and play the Wednesday 12:30pm game. I wonder how big of a draw that one would get.

that draw seems pretty good to me...don't know if the boys can come through, but it is in their hands!

so, the championship is one game, winner takes all, regardless if the teams involved have a loss or not?

That is a confusing bracket. Winner of game 7 and 9 advance to play game 11 it looks like, then they have them again for game 13????

Correct. It's the old College World Series bracket.

Reading the asterisk is your friend:

* Game 13 will be necessary if the winner of Game 9 also wins Game 11.

It's the exact same format the CWS started using in 1988. It is the same format we used to win the CWS in 1989. It is just compacted into 5 days instead of 9.

Well, it worked pretty well in 1989 (although not so well the next time).
