ESPN, CBS, and SI all have Penn as a 15 seed. I guess we find out in 90 mins.

We knew going in we would be a 15. Choose 1: Detroit, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Charlotte

Brutal draw.
Not that a 15 seed would've mattered that much. But Kansas at what's essentially a home game for them? Ugh.

Also, Pittsburgh games were NOT finished. We could have been playing Duke there as the 15 in this region.

How do you reward a team that's been doing things right in this era of corruption? Underseeding them and sending them to home game with Kansas? Good work NCAA!

Wow. If we were getting a 16 anyway, might as well be in the play in and get a win. Fun to play a #1 though. Got that 1 in a thousand chance to be the 16 that knocks one off. Now that would be a memory.

Sorry but I did not realize that Pittsburgh hosted both Midwest AND East bracket games. Boy, the NCAA really does everything they can to favor the power conferences don't they?

Kansas is beatable. If Auzubuike is injured and can't play, they don't have much of an interior defensive presence. They aren't very deep, and they take a lot of three point shots. We have the #2 or #3 rated defense against the three point shot, nationally.
We could surprise some people.
I also think we deserved better than a 16 seed.

NCAA is corrupt. I am hoping the FBI probe exposes more of the garbage.
In the meantime go Quakers! Beat the professional athletes!

To put it politely, the names of the regions haven't had any connection to geographic reality for some time now.
