I don't like it that way, I like to have the coaches choose to where they won't to go, that's the way east district does it, in D2 they have 21 teams,they managed to get it done that way

The SE District is years behind every other district in the state. It’ll probably change in a couple of years, but it should have years ago.

For instance, Waterford might love their matchup with Western, but would rather not make that trip. So, they could choose a different matchup in the way that the rest of the state does it…but not in the SE.

Years or decades?

I was being kind, mostly because they finally switched to the super sectional, but that’s the only reason for my kindness.

Yep, leaves room for shenanigans but looks fine this year

What are we going to deem shenanigans. I do think letting coaches choose there spot on the bracket is better overall, but it also allows for some things that could be labeled as shenanigans.

We know there is no perfect system. I think there is still a reason why NCAA isn't completely based off of RPI. As you stated, looks fairly clean cut this year.

It looks good this year. Should be a fun tournament.

I think the coaches got it right this year -- no extreme outliers anywhere and seems fair across the board.

In terms of matchups I've really got my eye on (if they were all to get that far, of course):

- If Western were to beat Waterford, them vs. Leesburg could possibly be interesting. Western is playing better and is well coached.

- Paint Valley and Green would be fun. They matchup pretty well. Sampson vs. Estep would be awesome to see.

- Eastern Pike has the pieces to give Fed Hock some trouble. Granted, Eastern has to get by Trimble first. But if they do, Eastern Pike is no joke and has guards that can handle it and a big man in the middle who's only gotten better and better.

- Notre Dame vs. Whiteoak could be interesting. Notre Dame is better, but Whiteoak has a stud senior in Barnett. If there's one thing we've learned in the tournament over the years --- never count out a team with a stud senior.

While you do make some good points, I digress:

1. No way Western Brown is good enough to beat Waterford. TVC flexes its muscles once again.

2. Howie worked his magic. Trimble rolls on Eastern just like they beat the brakes off our version of Eastern every season. This pays into his master plan to upset the Lancers. An early end to a great season will be a hard pill to swallow. Nonetheless, here we are.

Webster plays at Beaver tomorrow night. I better not see any tompuss scouts in the crowd

[Koondogger 2.1]

Yeah the scouts will have to be careful or you may sheet yourself right beside them.

Bjunkitup you’re not the only one hoping we lose to Eastern Brown. Fed Hocker is too. No way they want to face Howie for a third time, especially with everyone betting against him. We’ve proven we can play with them already. Sorry bout your luck Eastern, beating you is a foregone conclusion. We’re on a mission and rumor has it that a certain player won’t be available. Wait, what? Doesn’t this sound familiar?

Can't wait for Trimble to get cheated on their home floor tonight!

[Bastogne]

Western Pike or Lathan Western. The Indians in the DIV 4 SE is NOT Western Brown

[Ironman92]

Miller Goes to New Boston. Wow!

Natural rivals

I can’t wait for the random 1-2 years coming up where Miller is really solid.
