Kudos to the committee on their excellent work. There is nothing here that I take issue with. Overall I went 16/16 on teams, 8/8 on host schools, 4/4 on seeds, but only 4/8 on first round pairings. It appears that what the committee did was start with all of the close geographical pairings (App. St./James Madison, Del/Del St., Mass./Fordham, S. Ill/E. Ill) and then filled in teams from there, whereas strict adherence to the selection rules would have sent Eastern Illinois to Northern Iowa, with all other decisions following that.

Best of luck to every team in the championship. Unless you are playing Southern Illinois. GOOOOOO SALOOOOOOKIS!
