I just copied and pasted what I posted Thursday:
Here’s a couple of additional notes I discovered in the NCAA’s bracket principles document. In it the NCAA expressly says they avoid repeat non-conference regular season matchups and they avoid repeat NCAA tourney games of the last 2 years. UNC Tar Heels played Asheville in the regular season and they played LIU in last year’s NCAA tourney. That cements my view that UNC is getting a play-in involving two teams from the bottom four above. Also, SU played Vermont in NCAA First Round 2 years ago. So if Vermont beats Stony Brook in the America East, I don’t expect us to draw them. But I didn’t anyway. Whoever wins that game should have plane tickets ready for the Dayton play-in game.
