What is the order of the "announcement"?

[SBU72]

Selection show starts at 5:30, but I think that's mostly "pregame" stuff with the actual announcement beginning at 6(?). So does anybody know what order the brackets are given? Just how long will SU fans have to wait (and agonize!) on SU's fate? Palm has SU in the play in game in for the West. That game is in the bottom of the bracket, so if the West bracket is the last to be announced, then SU will be one of the last 10 teams to be announced! The pressure will build with every team called out. Or do they announce all the play in games right after calling out the #1 seeds and end much of the misery of those "on the bubble"?

If I recall correctly, in previous years they announced the play in games right at the beginning of the telecast. Since those games are two days away, it makes sense to announce them as quickly as possible.

Don't think this is right, they usually announce the 4 #1 seeds first and then go region by region, no?

Yeah, the four one seeds are definitely first.

I don't remember how they announce the play in games, they may just pop up on the bracket and say the winner of x versus y plays z. Not really sure.

Yeah I think you're right. When it got to the West, it would show the 6 seed, then the 11 seed would pop up Cuse/Monmouth.

Yep, you're right. Too early in the morning. #1's are always first. I was mixing the two up in my mind.

 

[jncuse]

They announce the #1 seeds,

Then they slowly tease you through each region, revealing match up by match up. We should know by 6:30.

 

[andyw715]

First Four get announced with their respective seeds.

 

[CorduroyG]

Yeah I think you're right. When it got to the West, it would show the 6 seed, then the 11 seed would pop up Cuse/Monmouth.

We're in?? YES!!!!!

Good news - I'm in Kansas so I'll find out an hour earlier than all you east coast people. I'll be sure to post the info once I have it.
