I believe that you are mistaken. The guideline for teams from the same conference is that they can't meet each other before the regional final games. UT could be the 2 seed in the same region as a 1 seed Ky. As somebody mentioned in another thread, the exception to that rule is if you have 3 teams from the same conference in the same region because the other 3 regions already have 2 teams from that conference already.
I am not mistaken. There is a 0% chance of UK and UT ending up in the same region.
Bracketing Rules
"Each of the first four teams selected from a conference shall be placed in different regions if they are seeded on the first four lines."
Please accept my apology. The bracketing rules I was quoting are way outdated like me by 20 years probably. That was the way it was before all of the conferences expanded. Truth be known, the rule change probably came about because of the ACC after they expanded to 15 teams or however many the've got now. I'm glad it's the way it is as you correctly stated. Have a good day today.
Then you'll likely consider St. Mary's win over them by 13 points later that same day as a victory.Gonzaga is the team to watch. If anyone gets within 20 points at the end they should consider it a victory.
