I’m old. Is there a bracket or some dumb Ken Pom system that will determine our final game out there.

Comes down to tiebreakers after the first two games. 18 team field a logistical nightmare

I am rolling the dice and pushing all my chips in the middle of the table by declaring, they must not lose.

They have been very good under TJ, but I definitely remember some total stinkers. Not a lot, but a few. I'm sure the staff has figured out if there were common denominators that are hopefully exploitable.

We've already played a better version of them.

From the NCAA website:
Teams that finish 2-0 entering Wednesday will be the first to qualify for the Players Era Championship game and the third place game, with 1-1 teams to follow. Tiebreakers will be determined by point differential, points scored and points allowed. All men's games on Wednesday and Thursday will be determined following Tuesday's final game.

My question is since there are multiple teams from pretty much every major conference will they adjust the Day 3 games to make sure conference mates avoid each other? Would be weird and stupid if we draw Creighton on Wednesday

I'm older. Are the games only on TruTV and how much do you have to pay to get these games?

TruTV should be part of any basic cable package, I assume it's on streaming services too but I haven't done that yet. Seems like not one service carries all I would want at some point so I'd have to buy several.

Unless you're joking...it's early in the morning.

HBO max has the games from tnt/trutv/tbs
