Joe Lunardi's First One is Up

That makes total sense.

Creighton seeded a 13.

Wichita State seeded a 12, and we get the play in game... I don't understand how they have a 12 seed play the play in game.

Yeah I agree. I like the new play in game rules. But think instead it should be the bottom 4-8 conferences that have to play for the 16 and 15 seeds respectively. This would free up 4 more spots and they could still even do another play in for all 14 seeds just to let more in to essentially make the first round have more games. Having a mostly solid team play for a 12 seed is somewhat insulting IMO.

I don't see why automatic qualifiers should have to have a play in to see if they get to actually participate in the tournament. I've been against that from day one and agree that the final at large teams in should have to play to get in. If there are going to be play in games, it should be for the at large spots. Don't screw over the small conference schools just because they're not as capable of advancing. They got in and did it by the rules given. To make them have to play yet another game to get into the actual tournament has always annoyed the crap out of me.

And mentioning yourself doesn't work.

There ya go.
