Its insane. The east region is packed with #1 UConn, #4 Iowa state and all four major conference tournament champions and the 3 teams of last year final 4.
@@savagecabbage138 what’s your point? Do you not remember 2011 when VCU made the very first first four? Jay Bilas went on tv after the bracket was announced and said VCU had no business being in the tournament. No one had them anywhere near the bracket yet they won 6 games against P5 schools to go to the final four so anything can happen lol
EAST bracket notes: 1. UConn and Auburn played a 2OT clash in the 2021 Battle 4 Atlantis. 2. Iowa St/Illinois previously met during the 2018-19 season, and Illinois was the 9 seed in the 2023 WEST bracket (UConn was the 4 seed). 3. UConn held Iowa St to 53 points in the 2022 PK80 championship.
A. It's hilarious how all 3 of the last year final four teams(Miami was horrible this year) are all in the same section. B. If FAU is an 8 then USF should be in. FAU as an 8 is SHAMEFUL
Since 2002, the selection committee has placed teams irrespective of tournament region in the closest pod to their campus based on true seed order (1-68 teams). Occasionally there have been some exceptions.
All four of the ranked major conference tournament champions are in this region and all of last year's final four teams that made the tournament as well!😮😂
Upsets I hope that happen in the east region are Stetson defeats UConn!! I would love to see UAB defeat San Diego State and Yale defeat Auburn!!! I also hope Morehead state upsets Illinois and Drake upsets Washington State!! Let’s go South Dakota State over Iowa State!!!! I really want to see Stetson take out the defending champions in UConn!!!
I agree the committee didn't do uconn any favors. This is the toughest region for sure. I have Uconn vs Illinois in the elite 8 with Illinois advancing to the final four.
So glad the committee didn't snub Colorado in this tournament like they did in the college football playoffs. Coach Prime got robbed. Complete garbage that they didn't get a 4 seed or better for this tournament. It's ok Buffs to the Final 4.
Rip Greg Gumbel 💔💔
It will never be the same again 😢💔
Uconn being number one seed overall they should have an easier bracket they got the toughest bracket of all the number ones
Yep. Iowa State should have gotten the last number one
Na Deland is taking them out in the first round let's go hatters 🤠
COMMITTEE U MESSED UP. HOW TF DO U PUT UCONN, ILLINOIS, AUBURN, IOWA ST, BYU all in the SAME region?!???! Then UNC region is weak asf
I thought the same thing
Yep North Carolina still getting their a**es kissed.
@@joeburinskas8672Yep, I'm betting on them either losing in the 2nd or 3rd round. Iowa State really should have gotten that last number 1, not UNC.
They always do something like that ,One bracket will be so tough and the 1 bracket will be weak really weak,then two that are normal
Why are you crying
Its insane. The east region is packed with #1 UConn, #4 Iowa state and all four major conference tournament champions and the 3 teams of last year final 4.
rip greg gumbel
UConn, SDSU, Duquesne, Washington State are sweet 16 bound
Give me Auburn and Iowa State, I can see Duquesne
Duquense you got to be joking me
@@savagecabbage138 11 seeds have a history of going to the Final Four. Get educated.
@@TheNotoriousJJDduquense is the worst 11 seed. metrics really have them as a 13 seed

UConn of CT has the advantage location wise. The regional and where their playing in the 1st round both border CT

The committee always does that. And they say it's random.
Na Deland is better than Tampa
worse than Michigan state as a 9?
@@user-nv3eh6ni6b MSU should definitely be first four no doubt about that
They did it old school with the bottom half of the region. They're all in the same city.
I was recruited to play baseball at Illinois, struggled in a tryout, they scraped it…….rooting against them in everything ever since😂
I’m A Hurricanes Fan, But I’ll Be Rooting For Florida Atlantic Wishing Them A Good Luck In NCAA Tournament 👍🏾🙏🏾
AUBURN IS TAKING THIS BRACKET 😮
This is a tough bracket
North Carolina does not deserve to be a number one seed it should have been Iowa State
Yea I was thinking they might not be a #2, yet here we are
Let's go Illinois 💪
They're going to have to be perfect. Extremely brutal region
@@jakobwaack4148 yeah. Gotta lock-in.
I’d be surprised if UConn isn’t in the final 4.
Hmmmm 🤔, Washington St @ Drake Is Gonna Be A Tight Tight Game Right There…….
How is Spokane Washington apart of the east region, am I missing something?
Since 2002, the selection committee has placed teams irrespective of tournament region in the closest pod to their campus based on true seed order (1-68 teams).

I didn't even realize that Greg Gumbel wasn't on march madness this past year. How I didn't realize it 😢
Iowa St love this team but history is against them once again
Selection Sunday! 🙏 🏀
March baby❤️🔥
I'm still trying to figure out the whole East region games in Spokane WA and Omaha NE logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Auburn got hosed
Jesus is real❤
Amen
Amen❤
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen
Amen. Jesus is King👑
Florida Atlantic vs Northwestern is the only game in that region that should be interesting
I agree, this tournament will make you think twice but yeah! No other match-up in the first round looks good.
Auburn as a 4 seed is crazy
THEY STILL WRITING BYU OFF💀💀💀
Yup...they hate em...want them gone...no respect
I love Kansas State Wildcats
Me also!!
Me also!!
Me too
Illinois and Auburn are dark horses in this bracket. If Iowa St breaks their 2001 curse, they’ll be a final 4 contender
All four of the ranked major conference tournament champions are in this region and all of last year's final four teams that made the tournament as well!😮😂
Jaylin Williams is balling in Auburn. OKC needs to draft him
How confusing would that be... two players named Jaylin Williams on the thunder
@@BradenINSANE in addition to Jaylen Williams 😂
3/4 teams from last year’s final 4
Nasty stuff by the committee
This reshoot literally has 8 potential elite 8 teams. Horrible job committee.
Upsets I hope that happen in the east region are Stetson defeats UConn!! I would love to see UAB defeat San Diego State and Yale defeat Auburn!!! I also hope Morehead state upsets Illinois and Drake upsets Washington State!! Let’s go South Dakota State over Iowa State!!!!

I'm sorry, plz not illinois. Not necessarily picking them but I would like for them to make at least the sweet 16
Go Aztecs ❤
except for iowa. uconn can play the cheerleader and get to the final 4
Auburn is tough
nobody caught the drake glitch
What college school representing Confederate State in sweet 16
u r mad throughout the year not just during March
I agree the committee didn't do uconn any favors. This is the toughest region for sure. I have Uconn vs Illinois in the elite 8 with Illinois advancing to the final four.
Keep dreaming husky wagon rolls
@@colangelog09na Deland is beating them in the first round
You can tell the committee also don't like the Big East. Not only because UConn got thougest path but only allowing three Big East teams.
Marquette is the dark horse
they love u conn. not a worthy opponent in the top bracket
First
Here comes Auburn
Ncaa really left out good teams and let in stinkers and gave nc a cake walk again , i smell a rat
Auburn is to low Auburn should be a 1 seed if not a 2 or 3 seed we just won the sec championship and Auburn is going all the way we winning 6 straight
WDE 🦅
Iowa state will beat Uconn
