For those interested, there is a revenge game so that would have resolved yes: https://www.kcci.com/article/iowa-state-march-madness-ncaa-tournament-south-dakota-state-stats-roster/60228672

I'm going to N/A the ones that got no traders

@traders lots of mana to be made, the bracket just came out

Bracket was set a few minutes ago get to creating ESPN doesn’t let you yet so it might be tough I believe Cbs has it though

@DavidGlidden if you go to bracket matrix it only has 106 total brackets

@JamesF last few years there ended up being a total of 229, 211, 203, 195, and 187, so I have faith that we'll get close to that total as more brackets are added today.

@JamesF Let’s wait to resolve until tomorrow; site says final matrix will be posted then.

@JamesF this is looking like it will be close, https://bracketmatrix.com/ currently shows 200 brackets and says updates are in progress - the final version will be posted this afternoon. Oklahoma is currently in 135 brackets, left out of the field in favor of Virginia (only in 20 brackets). If there are as many brackets as last year (229), I suspect Oklahoma will get over 150, but it will be close.

Christmas Day has arrived!

Todays the day

To be clear, this is that there will be 4+ teams in the final bracket that ESPN did not expect to be in the tourney, or 4+ teams with different seeds than ESPN projected?

@dglid 4+ teams not expected in the tourney seeds don’t matter

@JamesF We can double check this against bracketmatrix.com tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure ESPN just got 1 wrong: projected UVA out but it was in instead of Oklahoma, so this would resolve NO.
