Fun fact, Saint Peter's is the first school from New Jersey to make the Sweet Sixteen since the 2000 Seton Hall squad. Their starting PG?
Saint Peter's head coach Shaheen Holloway.
Rumors are that current Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard may get the Maryland job and that Willard is pushing for Holloway, who was an assistant under Willard, to get the Seton Hall job. He certainly has shown well this year.

Thinking about how crazy our game was yesterday--there is no doubt that this tournament is set up to be entirely about entertainment. Creighton is nowhere near as good as we are. Are there any other serious sports postseasons set up that way? Can't think of one.

I don't think you can really fake it in football for one game.
Only thing I can come up with that is worse would be baseball being single elimination all the way through the tournament.

no one follows the baseball tournament so it does not matter what they do.

There will be exceptions, but I don't think a best of 3 series in NFL would give us wildly different results. NFL teams are good at exposing flaws, but quite a bit less luck involved in that game. The media are also pretty good at identifying the NCAAF's best team early on.

The Chiefs game was, well odd.
Basketball is only five on five. If someone has a weirdly hot game, you go home no matter what. Oral Roberts beat a great Kansas team in AFH. Home court advantage is a real thing too. See the women's game where they pretty much pre-select winners to advance based on this strategy

I disagree slightly. I think a best of 3 would give significant different results for Super Bowl champions over the last 30 years

We don't deserve to see them the score. Why does LeBron do a commercial highlighting his crab problem?

Cockburn should be a better shot blocker than he is.

Playing through a big. Ball sticks way too much looking to feed him.

He doesn't always have a big. His teams never score.

UH plays some brutal offense sometimes but they are tough every single year. I wonder how long they'll be able to hold on to Sampson.
