Do you plan on doing a women's bracket analysis as well?

Unfortunately, no -- I have run out of time this week after focusing on men's Bubble Watch, MLB starting, etc.

Neil, ESPN being ridiculously low on Louisville I guess was pretty accurate to the committee in hindsight

Seems so, although I was stunned they were an 8.

As was the Louisville community. Quite the hose job to also give then the best 9, a matchup nightmare, and the #1 overall seed in the 2nd

The committee was so inconsistent about how it treated the ACC. Clemson and Louisville were side by side in NET but one was a 5 and the other an 8. And then UNC gets in against all perceptions. Go figure.

UofL got punished for only three wins vs tourney teams, but they beat both the first two teams out, including west Virginia when they were healthy and looked like a tourney lock.

I felt like WVU should have been a tourney team. Everyone is talking Indiana, but WVU had the better resume.
