Possible Bracket
- Thread starter dpwhite
- Start date
Put out the bracket and let the entire world of college hoops fans have some fun with it.
seriously...distract us for a brief moment from COVID19
What a joke. They could do this by phone in a couple hours or have everyone submit their brackets by email and add up the winners.
This would have been so easy and fun for a lot of people.

Maybe I'm not seeing the full picture but at face value, it's awful that they didn't release a bracket. It would have meant so much to kids at RU, Dayton, SDSU and so many others to get that recognition for what they accomplished.
Then again, a down year for UNC and subpar season for Duke. Maybe the people with the real influence that could have gotten it done were less enthusiastic.

The NCAA doesn't even have to announce brackets but rather just a alphabetical listing of the 68 schools selected.Conference champions would be decided by either who was in first place at the end of the season or who won the conference tournament if it was completed.The remaining at large selections would be chosen from the various metric ranking systems that were already in place.I'm pretty sure most of the analysis was already compiled and the only remaining issue was seeding for the brackets.There are too many schools that need to have their name announced because of its importance to recruiting, coaches tenure/ bonus payment and the public good will that would happen.

BracketBoy in Star-Ledger has a mock bracket. RU is a Midwest 10th seed in Greensboro opening against Colorado. After that win we beat #2 Duke for the Sweet Sixteen.:Chop banana::Chop banana:

Would have been meaningful and fun with no downside.
Statement “not enough work has been done.” Well,why the phk not!

Dan Gavitt and the NCAA officially suck. I get that they had to make the decision that they did to not play the games (though I would have preferred an indefinite postponement), but give us fans some sort of happiness in a time where a fun distraction for a day or two would be welcome.

The only argument against this is their season didn’t end for teams with chance to earn their way in via confrence tournament play
But I like the above...
I totally disagree. Assuming RU would be one of the teams selected, I think it would be viewed as a great honor for the team, particularly for the seniors. It would grant them the recognition they've played so hard for all season. And it would be an official means of saying that the 29 year drought has ended.
The bracket could be followed by an * that reminds everyone that, due to the national emergency, the games could not be played.
I see nothing bad about them doing this.
