Now as a personal favor they need to knock off those other Huskies on Saturday.

"Arizona physically and mentally abused Duke".

That was worth a broken bracket.

My man love for Charles Barkley just continues to grow.

AT half time, three of the four analysts are sitting there gushing about how swell Duke is, how Arizona cannot handle their experience and poise and blahblahblah. Charles just sits there, and when they get to him..."Arizona is going to win this game."

They move teams around geographically to balance the brackets.

Yep.  At first it felt like I was paying $20 just to have Duke lose, then I realized that's actually money well spent.

How so?  You don't want all the best teams crammed into one bracket.

I think you do not really understand the region brackets.  They are where the games are played not where the teams are from.

Then don't call them regional finals & don't name the brackets with regional names.

Because nothing it does has face value sense. You always have to dig deeper on everything. When it's not Bball, it's the craziness that is the BCS & BFS, Title 9 intepretation, Hockey status as sport.

Everything is complicated.

The regions refer to where the games are played.

The NCAA usually makes some effort to put the 1 seeds in the region near their location so that the favorite can play a regional final relatively locally, but their main concern is balancing the brackets, as it should be.

I tend to agree that it would make more sense if they didn't name the regions geographically when they're not geographicall based, but it's hardly a big deal.

As for the rest of your post, well, we've discussed the BCS here a lot already, I don't know what BFS is, Title 9 is federal law that the NCAA doesn't really have much to do with, and I'm not familiar with any controvery involving hockey's status as a sport.
