I signed up too.

Had to point out an error though, these matchups are switched around in your brackets. It should be:

1. Pittsburgh
16. NC Asheville/ Ark. Little Rock

6. Georgetown
11. USC/Virginia Comm.

Does anyone else wonder why a 6 seed gets the winner of a bottom-feeder play-in game? Shouldn't the #1 seeds get the winners from the first two days?

First of all, the teams are ranked 1-68. There are 31 conference champions and 37 at-large bids for teams who did not win their conference tournaments.

The four lowest rated at-large teams have to play each other. Those ended up being #11 seeds VCU and USC, the winner of which will play #6 Georgetown and the #12 seeds of Clemson and UAB who will play #5 West Virginia.

Meanwhile, the lowest rated conference champions (#65-68) are slotted to play each other and the winner of each of those games will play the #1 seed.

Hope this helps somewhat.
