How are the teams seeded in some tournaments?
Everyone plays in the Big East tournament- yes, even DePaul- but how are they seeded?

Yes, and it wasn't even close!
That's probably the only thing I can brag about against your teams.
The Big East added another day of play (next Tuesday at MSG).
ONLY the bottom eight will play on Tuesday. The format will be 9 vs. 16, 10 vs. 15, 11 vs. 14 and 12 vs. 13.
The next day the winners of those games will play seeds 5 through 8.
The top four seeds don't start playing until Thursday.
After Georgetown and Cincinnati's gutless efforts tonight, as well as ND, that 1st day of the BE Tournament will be must miss basketball. It'll be like Sacramento playing Memphis on the last day of the NBA regular season.
I want to see DePaul run the table and go winless in Big East play; I admit, I love to see terrible teams sink to new lows.
DePaul used to be a BEAST in this sport; now, none of their players could beat Bill in a game of H-O-R-S-E.
Anders,
that first day at MSG will be nothing more than a rumor, unless you're there. I understand that the first day of action will not be televised by any outlet. Hard to believe for a high profile conference like the BE.
Not quite sure why they changed the format. Nobody wants to see these games and I don't think anyone felt sorry for DePaul and South Florida when they missed the BE Tournament in the past. Sometimes bigger is not better.
Yeah, and it's a stange format.
Top four get a double bye, but then again, that's probably a just reward for having a successful regular season.
Having all 16, with the extra round could work, if they did a standard format and started with all 16 teams in the first round. At least then all the games would include at least 1 good team. As it is, no one wants to watch a round with only seeds 9-16.
The top four seeds adanced to the Ohio Valley semifinals Friday night.
UT-Martin, Austin Peay, Murray St. and Morehead St. (congrats Ramy) all won their games tonight.
HD,
The remaining sixteen conferences don't have their brackets set yet. I'll start posting the schedules (sans teams) today.
Congrats on the Cleveland St. win and good luck to your Golden Flashes in the MAC! :up
