It's weird that the TV minds in charge of setting the schedule for the day have three of the 3/14 games in the tournament as the first three games in the tournament. I know that they're ultimately limited on what they can air on TV due to the committee trying to keep the top 4 teams close to home, and sometimes that means that you get an overload on what seeds go to what locations.
ANYWAY. It'll be fun to start the tournament with Mike Brey getting turfed out. All times are Central, and have some fun out there.
