Ah, dammit. That's brilliant. And I just changed them to the East/West game players. Well, at least we know what the next round of ranks will be. Nice.

Re: NCAA Tournament thread - Play-In games and Round of 64

Fuck, I hate seeing a game decided by idiotic refs. And, yes, there is an enormous difference between Illinois being tied (or up one) and being down four, with less than a minute to play. That was disgraceful; not even a close call, really.
